Simple Enough for a Child; Powerful Enough for a Developer RPG Maker VX Ace improves every aspect of RPG creation, making it not only the latest, but also the greatest engine in the RPG Maker Series. With multiple tileset support, full autoshadow control, and a flexible features system, Ace gives you the most powerful RPG making tools ever.
Simple enough for a beginner to learn, yet extremely flexible making it valuable to veteran game creators. Although it has it's limitations, this engine was made with plenty of default options and a massive amount of ways it can be changed with scripts to fit your game. I don't regret using it in the least.
Price tag to high? Wait for a sale and get it for 5$ or around 1$ in a bundle, which is WELL worth it.
