Valcarta I: Rise of the Demon DEMO
Feb 17, 2013 Demo 0 commentsValcarta is a magical world suspended high above the clouds, out of reach of you or I... And on this island like world are many things far greater then...
Style & Aim of Valcarta:
Valcarta is a unique piece that brings the look and feel of SNES RPGs to the PC. The Valcarta series, and Valcarta I itself aim to deliver an overly unique feel to the player through complex storytelling. Our main mechanism for this is the "split-path". Valcarta doesn't contain dialogue splitting or speech choices like most games of this age. It does however contain two entirely different stories; two entirely different ways to view the world of Valcarta I and two different outcomes which will carry over to the next game, Valcarta II: Awakening.
Valcarta aims to provide the user with a unique experience that isn't found in today's game market.
Valcarta captures and expresses itself through old style RPGs, giving an epic feel through 2D sprites.
Rise of the Demon is the first chapter of a 'storyline' game series that spans 5 chapters titled: Valcarta. The Valcarta series will be built on a premise of heavy storytelling in a split path fashion. There will be a minimum of 2 paths in every game in which the player can play and experience the events that will unfold. Each path will provide the character with different pieces of the puzzle to put together to allow the user to experience a full view of the events unraveling within the world. Rise of the Demon, the first Valcarta title series, follows Valak, a young man that has no family to speak of and a blurry past. He has spent most of his 'youth' in the central province known as Drachell working as the 'protector' of a small town. At the beginning of the game, Valak must make a choice that will change not just his fate but also the fate of Drachell and Valcarta.

I don't know that it's overpriced. It's an RPG Maker game, sure, but I don't think that much matters. I figure it's priced pretty well to be honest. I would try it, but I don't have the $15 to shell out for it (sad, I know). I don't really have much in the way of suggestions, 'cause if you could put it out for a lower price comfortably, I'd like to think you would. My only real thought is that you could come up with a demo of some sort, perhaps. Or maybe put it out for free for a couple days, or even just one day. That way, you could get some real reviews in, as long as it's good. I'm sure that would help convince people to spend that little bit of extra money that makes them uncomfortable with trying it.
Eh, it really is about the right price when compared to other examples of these indie RPGs, cheaper even. Compared to a more traditional CRPG like Avernum, these JRPG-style titles are a niche of the indie gaming niche itself and the price reflects that the same way handmade Too Much Coffee Man minicomics used to cost as much or more than a copy of Batman. I personnally think a lower cost could draw more people, ut that's a gamble the author may not be able to afford and it's his call either way.
Real geeks will shell out a bit extra for what they love, provide a little extra support while mewling babies throw tantrums in the aisle of the store when they don't get their way.
Looks pretty decent. I hate to see a game (overpriced or not) get buried by low reviews from people that do not own it. Desura should only allow those who have purchased a game to rate it.
This game is not worth the price. $15 too much.
animation seems pretty good for an RPG maker game but like everyone is saying 15$ for 20 hrs is ridiculous. If you nastaglia you can get a ps1 emulator or buy PS1 HD remakes on PS3 for 15$ which will give u easy 50+hrs like any of the FF series and then u got the other JRPGs.. BSGtalon if this is ur first game u need to listen to the community dude
