Revision as of 20:55, 25 March 2013
There are GOOD RPG Maker games out there? Of course not, that's a stupid question.
OH WAIT, the games on this page are actually okay, and made with RPG Maker 2003/XP/VX. Yeah, almost everyone that got their hands on this shitty engine as a kid tried to make a retarded video game out of it. However, a few games successfully managed to escape this massive ocean of incessant garbage. It's almost hard to believe.
Screen | Title | Description | link |
---|---|---|---|
.flow |
.flow is a Yume Nikki fangame, and probably the most famous (along with Yume 2kki). It is everything that Yume Nikki is, but with even more disturbing stuff. If you liked the original, this is going to be a nice experience. |
||
A Blurred Line |
A futuristic sci-fi RPG by legendary Lysander86. One of the best RPG Maker 2000 games out there. |
||
Ao Oni |
Looking for a scary game? Don't be fooled by the cheap, basic RPG Maker sprites. They are only there to make you laugh when you are not screaming from the Ao Oni coming at the worst (but in a good way) opportune moments. Highly recommended. |
||
Alter A.I.L.A Genesis |
Side-scrolling cyberpunk mixed with traditional JRPG gameplay. It's so good it doesn't even look that much like an rpg maker game. A planned sequel was in the works but has been scrapped as the creator retired from making games. | Download it here | |
Aveyond |
RPG Maker german game. |
||
Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa |
May be one of the the greatest (freeware) RPGs ever made. You play as Charles Barkley, a once-great B-Baller who lives in the dystopian city of Neo New York, who goes on an epic quest to stop a second Ballocaust from the evil organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S., aided by the octoroon great-grandson of Lebron James, Balthios, a space-traveling dwarf with a skin made of basketballs named Cyberdwarf, and his son Hoopz, and bring back the slams and the jams once more. The battle system is turn-based with special action commands that determine the effectiveness of your attacks. The writing is bound to make you laugh and leave you wanting more. CBoyardee is part of the development team, so you know it's good. The only flaw is that it ends. The game started out being made on RPG Maker 2003, but ended up moving to Game Maker. Also, where is my sequel. |
||
Brave Soul |
An RPG hentai game (not turn based) with a good plot, enjoyable killing-everything-you-see gameplay and some sim-dating in it. Also, professional CG. |
||
Calm Falls |
Horror german rpg maker game. No translation around, also sequel. |
||
Clock of Atonement |
Short game where you play as a mad guy who just killed his |
||
Corpse Party |
Japanese horror game made in 1996. A group of kids at school are having fun with ghost stories until they get teleported to another dimension and shit gets real. It was so successful that it got a a remake called Corpse Party: Blood Covered, (released for Windows in 2008); later ported for PSP and released on the PSP american/european store simply as "Corpse Party". There is also a sequel on the PSP called Corpse Party: Book of Shadows and two manga adaptions. If you want to enjoy the original version though, completely translated in english and with nothing more than a few CG tweaks, check out Corpse Party: Rebuilt. Also check out the neat final boss music. |
||
Cotton Blanket |
Some cute game. There are six games in the series, and none of them has been translated yet. "Cotton Blanket" is the Google Translator version by the way. |
||
Desert Night |
Taking place somewhere in California, the game follows Sandra Richmont, who was traveling with her parents to visit their uncle. After an argument and a bathroom stop, her parents appear to have driven off without her. Thinking that her parents plan to stay overnight in the nearest city, Dusty Creek, Sandra heads towards there. However, after meeting two others who are stranded, she realizes that they are trapped and the city has some dark secrets. |
||
Doraemon - Nobita no Biohazard |
Japanese spoof of Resident Evil with Doraemon characters. Nice graphics, well done gun gameplay, great music and sounds, funny lines... still untranslated, though. Here's a bit of gameplay. |
||
Embric of Wulfhammer’s Castle |
RPG Maker game popular for its ecchi-lesbian theme. |
||
Exit Fate |
An RPG made by the creator of "Last Scenario", but far more developed this time. It is heavily inspired by the Suikoden series, allowing you to recruit dozens of playable characters. The battle system is very unlike the traditional RPG Maker battles, and there are also some strategy battles at certain points in the game that are very well made, if somewhat difficult to A-rank. A very good RPG that you should check out if you're a fan of Suikoden. |
||
Fifth Era: Pieces of the Holy Stone |
HUGE and kinda old italian classic rpg game. Sadly, untranslated. |
||
Ib |
You are the little girl visiting an art gallery with your parents but decided to check out paintings by yourself. Strange things begin to happen and now you're stuck in some eldritch place looking for a way out. You found a rose but be careful, if the rose gets hurt, so will you. Very enjoyable game, albeit short. Can be completed in an hour or two. |

Last Scenario |
A quality RPG that starts out with a very clichéd plot, but several twists turn it into a decent story. The magic system consists of equipping spellcards that grant different magics, and there is an interesting card minigame called Hex that is rather fun. Overall a good RPG, if somewhat simple. |
||
Legend of Queen Opala |
An RPG eroge game. Aside from using the RPG Maker XP basic rtp, the art and the sounds in the game are original, plus the plot is not so bad. |
||
Legionwood: Tale of the Two Swords |
Traditional role playing game, worth to play if you are a fan of the genre. This one's over 20 hours long and it's been in production since 2007. | Download it here | |
Legion Saga(1-3) |
Three RPGs heavily inspired by the Suikoden series. Take on the role of "Legion Master", recruit tons of characters, and lead an army. Has a very well thought-out political story. |
||
Lisa |
Surrealistic game without any guide or help, with Earthbound-style graphic. You uncover the past of this girl called Lisa. |
||
Mainichi |
Orrible game where you play as some random woman and that's it because it's a fucking game where you are a boring woman. Worth to mention because they made an article on Shitaku (pic here) just to bitch about feminism and videogames. Don't play it, it has nothing interesting or redemable in it. |
||
Master of the Wind |
A Fantasy Superhero RPG, where our heroes Shroud (a masked wind user) and Stoic (a walking skeleton with two swords and a chip on his shoulder) fight to protect their hometown and the world from the evil that is Equipment King, the Wall-Mart of equipment shops. Although the premise sounds silly, it actually has a well thought out story, with plenty of character development. It does became somewhat linear towards the middle of the game, but it's overall a good game. |
||
Misao |
A Japanese survival horror game made in Wolf RPG Editor (for those who never heard of it, it's pretty much another rpg maker program, but free). A few days after the strange dissappearance of a student, your school is transported to the spirit realm and its up to you to find out what happened and why. Great game, a bit short but has some extras to do after the main story and the chance to replay it but using a male character. Some elements of the story are taken directly from Corpse Party, but it's way shorter and way cheaper. Also, another short horror game made with the same program is Mad Father. |
||
Moonlight Labyrinth |
Japanese survival horror made with RPG Maker 2000. No translation exists. | Download it here | |
Noradrénaline |
Silent hill-ish french rpg maker game. It's completely dead, which is a pity, since it looks kinda interesting. | See it here | |
Off |
A fantastic French RPG game, similar to Yume Nikki in some aspects. Very revered in the French RPG Maker community, and finally got translated in 2011. Godly atmosphere, mostly created by the ethereal visuals and a fantastic soundtrack. |
||
One Night |
Series of acclaimed survival horror games made in Rpg Maker VX. |
||
Pokémon: The Evil Inside 2 |
Old RPG Maker game that parodies the Pokémon series. Gameplay is going around and shooting Pokémon, but the game is pretty big. Boss battles, lots of different weapons, lots of minigames, cheats and so on. Worth a shot. |
||
Polymorphous Perversity |
In Polymorphous Perversity, you are a young male with an unknown sexual disorder captured by a mysterious agency and thrown into a bizarre parallel reality where everything gravitates towards sex. This game should not be seen as some "cheap hentai game" or anything like that, since is more a introspection about sexuality based on Freud's theories (hence the title, based on the term of the same name. |
||
Professor McLogic Saves The Day |
Simple puzzle game, randomly generated every time you play. Nothing too special, and kinda cheap, just don't expect nothing like Professor Layton. |
||
Shrink High |
This game is something completely retarded about a guy shrinking size, with incredible CG and funny game play. A must-play for all the people out there with a shrinking-size fetish. The basic RPG Maker graphics are not tolerable, just to let you know. |
||
Space Funeral |
Absolutely surreal game. Think of it as a hybrid between Yume Nikki and Earthbound, or something of the sort. Praised for its incredible soundtrack and commendable writing. Unforgettable experience. |
||
Starless Umbra |
In Starless Umbra, you play as Andoru in a quest to attempt to return home to save your sister after bandits raid your village. This simple task complicates itself quickly, as a strange phenomenon leaves you not only away from your village, but with little direction in a completely new continent. Standard rpg game, and surprisingly still on the work (as of February 2013 is still updated frequently after 3 years). |
||
Super Columbine Massacre RPG |
Old RPG Maker game that parodies the real-life event of the Super Columbine Massacre. Game's just a basic RPG, but it sure got a lot of popularity and controversy for its satirical commentary. |
||
Tales of the Drunken Paladin |
Comedic RPG game. |
||
Taut |
Taut is a german horror game (game's completely translated in english, do not worry) about a girl stuck in her home town, though the streets are empty and everything seems so unfamiliar. It brings a lot from Silent Hill and the pace is really, really really slow. You are advised. |
||
The Way |
An RPG divided into 6 different games/chapters. Lots of custom content, old school 3D Blender landscapes, and a great plot. A must-play if you like RPG Maker. |
||
Time machine over the sea |
A parody of the Neutral Milk Hotel song "In the Airplane Over the Sea". |
||
To The Moon |
Great game about an old man who's dying and his last desire is to go to the moon. The original soundtrack is pure gold and the story is the best story you'll ever read in a video game: be ready to cry like a little girl. Game's 12$ on the website, which is fucking atrocious (buy you maybe want to spend 5$ on the soundtrack, and half of them will go to charity for autism). The game is also out on Steam, anyway. |
||
Touhou Mother |
Homages several games, but concentrates on the Touhou and Earthbound crossover. References aside, it's a fun, solid story (a bit back-knowledge helps though). Although made in RPG Maker 2000, the designer, "S", replicated Earthbound's battles and effects quite well. For the masochist in you, there's even multiple difficulty levels to take on! Unsurprisingly, it garnered enough love for S to make a sequel. This game really knows how to push RPG Maker to the limit, an outdated one even! | English version | |
Violated Heroine |
An awesome (but still incomplete) hentai game: a huge RPG where you control Nanako, an adventurer. Awesome sprite art. This game is a pain to play: set the PC on Japanese settings, install RPG Maker RTP, patch the game... get all the info here. |
||
Witch's House |
Rpg Maker VX game about a little girl entering a big, spooky house in the middle of the forest. Basic horror game full of puzzles, scares (some are creative enough, some are just little jumps) and a bit of story which eventually turns out in a big, crazy plot twist by the end. |
||
Whiter |
Short game with retro Game Boy graphics. You have to find 11 flowers for a dead guy or some shit like that. Nothing too special, but it's kinda enjoyable. |
||
Yume Nikki |
Unique game based around traveling in a young girl's dreams. Expect a trade of action for atmosphere as the gameplay revolves around exploring and experimentation. However, the atmosphere is indeed incredible. Has quite a fanbase as well. There are numerous fangames based off Yume Nikki, though the only particularly notable ones are Yume 2kki and .flow. |
||
Unterwegs in Düsterburg |
German RPG game. |
