Instead I got a rather charming and earnest RPG with humorous writing, good gameplay depth, and a fair difficulty pace for newcomers and jRPG veterans alike. It's hard to believe the game was made by one man for the most part, and it turns out he's a really nice guy as well!I even listened to him on some indie spotlight podcast or something, and Mr. Squirrel was quite inspiring. Maybe I'll try my own hand at making an RPG Maker game some day because of him.The only real complaint I have is that a few of the enemy sprites look a bit odd for some reason, but doesn't matter much compared to how well written the game is.The game is good, probably better than Mother 3. (says someone who's never played Mother 3). Good game with awesome 8-bit colors. Recommended getting it!. To comment, visit this review on Dragon Quill.A very, very meta RPG. Everyone is aware they are in a video game, and the player is explicitly asked why they\u2019re playing the game and making the choices they are at several points. I initially expected this to be irritatingly pretentious or pointlessly trite as meta stories so often are, but I actually thought it struck a good balance I genuinely appreciated. Though framed comedically, there is a serious undercurrent to it that I thought gave the game real poignancy. There is a strong emphasis on the importance of sensitivity, nuance, and small acts of kindness; this is a game where you can tip helpful NPCs for giving you exposition, and you will actually get to see what they did with the money and how it changed their life. I never felt like it was giving me the option to be nice to faceless NPCs just to mock me or the concept itself, as often seems to be the case in similar parodic RPGs. Though the tone is overall absurdist, there is a genuineness to everything I found really touching.Unfortunately, this is also an RPG that should have been a visual novel.The game\u2019s description promises that it \u201cfeatures everything that you loved from the 8-bit RPGs of your childhood and leaves behind everything you didn\u2019t\u201d. Unsurprisingly, it can\u2019t live up to this boast; it is just another RPG Maker RPG, with all the flaws standard for the genre, including the many hated features from those 8-bit RPGs I\u2019m really baffled the program hasn\u2019t shucked yet. Damage calculation appears to use an incredibly poorly-balanced subtractive defense formula that creates wildly different damage values for even tiny differences in defensive stats \u2014 my fighters would often take literally no damage from attacks that cut my casters\u2019 health in half. To really double down on this, magic defense is almost impossible to come by if you\u2019re not a caster because only casters can equip magical armor, so fighters are sitting ducks against spells and there\u2019s little you can do about it. Because oh yes of course enemy targeting is totally random, better hope enemies land that hit on the person who will take single-digit damage from it and not the person you\u2019ll have to revive next turn. (To rub salt in the wound, the tank class has an ability that\u2019s supposed to draw attacks, but it appears to only work some of the time, because ???) Oh, but good luck if someone does go down, because that infuriating thing from 8-bit RPGs where you have to input commands for the whole turn without knowing what the enemies will do? Oh, you better bet that\u2019s a feature! Enjoy telling your paladin to raise your cleric only to have them get murdered themselves before their turn comes up. And I haven\u2019t even mentioned the random miss and crit rates! Why are those still a thing? Seriously? Why, in 2019, have we not collectively risen up and scrubbed that terrible Dungeons and Dragons artifact from our systems? Who is this appealing to?But even aside from the poor decision to use RPG Maker\u2019s default battle system, this game just seems very poorly and haphazardly designed. You have access to limited monster-repel spells and items at the start of the game\u2026 yet as early as the third dungeon, you get the ability to turn off random encounters freely. So\u2026 why are the limited versions there at all? (Incidentally, developers: if players want to turn off a core gameplay feature, that\u2019s a sign it shouldn\u2019t be there in the first place.) You get the ability to change classes a la Dragon Quest III, but despite advising you to wait until you get all the skills for a class first (since they transfer), the game gives you no way of knowing when you\u2019ve gotten the final skill for a class. Some classes also have passive abilities, but they are not listed in the character screens and are only mentioned by NPCs in the starting area. I was also honestly quite surprised to learn class shifting was possible, because so many of the classes are obviously fusions between others \u2014 why exactly should I bother with the slow-leveling Sorcerer if I can produce the same effect by multiclassing a Warlock into a Healer? Relatedly, as I\u2019ve come to expect from RPG Maker games, magic is crap \u2014 elemental spells need to hit an elemental weakness to be even marginally better than a physical attack from a fighter of the same level. (Until you get the ultimate endgame spells, which are ludicrously powerful and boss fights are virtually impossible without them. There\u2019s just no middle ground in this game.) To make matters worse, the super caster class doesn\u2019t even seem to get every element naturally \u2014 are you supposed to multiclass into Warlock for those, or\u2026?So, ultimately, this looked like a nice idea marred by very amateurish design. I\u2026 am not sure if I can say it\u2019s worth money, frankly. Which is unfortunate, because the story really is quite nice, but the gameplay is just that unenjoyable. I think I would have liked it a lot better if it was one of those visual novel RPGs where the battles are only a formality.(Trigger warning if you play it yourself: the PC\u2019s father misgenders them frequently. I don\u2019t see any reason to believe it\u2019s malicious, but be aware if that\u2019s something that upsets you.). Good game with awesome 8-bit colors. Recommended getting it!. This a very self aware game...and flipn hilarious because of that....SO please take the time to talk to everybody. I literlally LOLd ....I grew up with 8bit rpgs on Sega like Phantasy star and games like Final Fantasy on NES and this to that as Galaxy Quest was to Star Trek... A lampoon but in a weird way kinda betterThe price is worth the few laughs I got from my choices alone and it places really smooth with that classic NES look... Buy this its funny and good for a few laughs!. So this game is pretty great. The music, and the graphics are done in the style of the old NES games so many of us Millenials loved. Yes, it's an RPG Maker game, but it isn't one of the bog standard ones you find littering the store these days. :) The developer did the work to make the game actually look like a oldschool RPG but play like a morelate 90s one. I appreciate this myself because while I fondly recall those days, I seem to remember those games lacking quality of life additions that later games had.This game gets bonus points for letting you add monsters to your party :). Bought this on sale. Just finished the Western Hole and looking forward to the rest of the game. Delightfully quirky and feels a lot like a streamlined version of DQ3.Lots of good ideas in this title. Classes are well done. I really like the over world hidden locations and wandering NPCs.Monster names are entertaining. Battles are fairly vanilla (but they wrap up very quickly, so it's not so bad)..

(says someone who's never played Mother 3) Anniversary Sale!!!: Specifically, the 2-month anniversary! Most people do something special to celebrate the 1st-year, 5th-year, or 10th-year anniversary, but not me! I'm just happy and proud that Sojourner got released to the public a couple months back. If you haven't picked it up yet, this week is the time to do it. At $1.99, this is an absolute steal. Except if you actually stole it, you wouldn't spend any money at all. It's a pretty easy game to pirate. But please don't pirate the game. Or if you do, you can send me a donation later to relinquish your guilt. Or you can promote the ever-living crap out of it; though, I would love if you did that whether you stole the game or not.Also, happy Rosh Hashanah to all the game's Jewish fans, as well as to the Jewish people who have never heard of the game.. Version 3.0 is out!: Yes, the update that very few people were asking for has finally come out! I figured that, for various reasons, quite a few new folks have purchased the game recently or are trying it out for the first time, and they ought to have the best experience with the game possible.Here are the changes in Version 3.0: Made some of the weaker classes far more resilient, especially the spellcasting classes. Changed the EXP requirements of each class, so that classes will be a bit closer in overall level. Made the monster classes level up faster than regular characters, as a way to incentivize players to actually use them and to keep the game more balanced. Increased the initial ATK and DEF of all characters, in order to make the early-game just a teensy bit easier. Improved the system for swapping between party members. Made the EXP reward increase if you have fewer party members. Made the secret character considerably stronger and more-worth using. Decreased the encounter rate slightly. Improved the equipment screen. The “optimize” button will no longer change a character’s accessory. Fixed the resolution and full-screen problems. Now press F5 to enter fullscreen. Or F6 to resize window. Fixed some typos. I wasn’t actually expecting to ever update Sojourner again, especially because I am hard at work on my next game. However, I have been learning a lot, and have been aware of a few of Sojourner’s flaws for a long time. It wasn’t toooo much effort on my part to update the game.So please enjoy these improvements, and look forward to hearing more about my next game, which I’ll be revealing… eventually.. Massive update released! Version 2.0!: Hey friends, I'm so happy to announce that Version 2.0 of Sojourner is out now (and your copy of the game has probably already been updated). Some big, much-requested changes have been made, and the game is extraordinarily better for them. Here are the changes from this latest update:Allow the player to resize the window and adjust resolution.Removed character portraits from the combat screen because it just looked too clunkySubstantially increased the damage of the summon spellsRebalanced some of the game's harder bosses and enemiesImproved regeneration skills for HP and MP, and made poison more effective.Increased the power of some skills.Fixed the music looping badly.Drastically improved the rewards for collecting all the Skull MedallionsSorcerer class now learns spells faster.Fixed a bug where warping out of Jaggo's party would leave the screen the wrong color.Minor bug fixes and typo fixes.. Version 1.1 released: Hey fans and haters of Sojourner:The version 1.1 update of the game is now live. In order to get the update, you may have to uninstall and reinstall the game-- but don't worry about your save data: it won't get erased when you uninstall. If you are worried, though, you can easily copy (CTRL+C) your save file (most likely located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sojourner) and paste (CTRL+V) your save file somewhere safe.Here are my scruffy notes of what has been changed. Except for one game-breaking bug, this is mostly stuff that no one will ever notice.Version1.1 Changes:[FIXED]-Players who got Monk as the starting class would become invisible when they tried to add any new party members.[FIXED]-Using the B button to back out of the "adding a party member" or "changing class" screens doesn't work properly.[FIXED]-Finding previously-visited hidden areas on the overworld is nearly impossible. Now there is a glowing X that appears[FIXED]-If you activate Infinity Repel, and then warp, it gets turned off-- but the game will say that it's still on. You have to use it twice more in order to get it to actually turn off again.[FIXED]-Weird gray boxes around the list of places you can teleport to.[FIXED]-One secret area had a tile that wasn't working properly.
