any known examples of 2d action rpg games made with this?

[@R+5]

ie similar to valkyrie profile, rather than any metroidvania; maybe with also randomised enemy encounters to trigger "combat scenes" (ie, different "space" for fights, rather than taking place in the same "exploration-dungeon area").

Setting up the RPG system (ie. How much dmg does something do vs something else) would be very complicated. I have a leveling system up to 20, and its very basic, but it took a long time to set up. A turn based RPG is usually much more complicated.

The Random encounter wouldn't be as hard. If you touch an enemy, trigger control switch, end scene to different map orrr... maybe even do it with layers.... You'll need to save your characters location through variables, so you can transfer them back after the battle.

RPG Maker would be better for the RPG elements you want.

But Pixel Game Maker MV would be better for the 2-D platforming / exploration part.

Both have benefits and flaws depending on which aspect you want more.

@Mr.Freeman
Wow, that looks pretty complicated to make, is that a random card generator???????

Well it definitely is possible then.
