60 of 142 · most liked firstI'm really on the fence about 3 Stars of Destiny. For all the interesting gameplay mechanics it has and the general enjoyment of other games from RPG developer Aldorlea Games, there are enough problems to warrant a skip for anyone looking to try out yet another fantasy-based RPG. We all know the problems with RPGMaker. That software has allowed anyone with a will and a few hours to spare the ability to pop out a carbon-copy clone and put it on Steam, to the detriment of the genre as a whole.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another RPG maker brand of game. Very similar to the likes of Aveyond which I finished a couple of months ago in that it is a party based RPG. There was nothing really special about this game. All very samey throughout. I did find myself getting bored towards the middle of the game. You obviously need to spend a lot of time grinding levels in order to equip certain items you find in the game in order to progress past a certain boss, and it became quite tedious to grind on random spawn…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved playing this game it has a active story feeling to it as well it can be funny and challenging. The color scheme feels stable. The action is fun and satisfying. I also love finding the secrets. It really gives off thaat good old adventure feeling when playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you remember the olden days of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and what not ? This game looks like it would be the same, but do not be deceived, it is not. I tried to give it a chance, but the dreadful characters, the nonsensical way of doing things, the constant "poisoned/tired" cycle, the fact that you do not heal up when levelling up (wasn't that a thing once ?) and the way your characters express emotions in conversations (*chuckles* ? Could you not just have drawn a different portrait to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i have no idea if the rest of the game is good, but it does not mater, even in the beginning area there is so much missable and random bs that you would have to buy their guide to know about or be completely screwed over, oh hey the weapon shop sells these badass elemental swords, i better go save up some money and come back and buy them at 900 gold apeice, hey where are the swords? i have the money now... nope guess what the guy only offers it once, EVER guess you should have already grinded…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played through the game and beaten it twice and enjoyed every moment of it. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for something fun and simple to play, while still having enough of a challenge to be interesting. I found the characters charming and the interactions to be amusing and while the story wasn't amazing, it wasn't boring either. Pros: +Nice selection of party members with different skillsets to appeal to any sort of playstyle. +Really lovely artwork in the battles…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game isn't worth a single penny, there are better rpgmaker games you can get for no cost. Even though I got this game for free, I still didn't think it was worth playing. The art is mediocre, the writing is disasterous, the enemy design and the environments look ugly, the music is repetitive and generic, and the characters are unlikable. And the main character's name is Random. Yea, that's his name...Random. Go buy something else for $15.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am really enjoying 3 Stars of Destiny. If you dont like RPGMaker Games then this isn't for you. Personally I find the full maneuverablity with the mouse, story and graphics more appealing compared to older JRPG titles which can be cumbersome with their controls (except for Kemco on IOS). It does take about a good 3 hours to get into the meat of the story and battles and I personally found it rewarding onwards from the Mt Zulle Trials onwards. The fact that you can choose what mode (Casual to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ah, now this brings back memories! I remember spending hours and hours on some of the best old school RPGs out there, and Indinera's (aka Damien) works are not exception. That's actually where my username comes from - Laxius Power, the series that started it all. I highly recommend starting from Laxius Power 1, 2, and 3 in order to get a better feel of how the main story comes around (it's free, so it's easy to google it), although 3 Stars of Destiny takes you even before then :) Basically, in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →:Pros }Explore the world while completing quests and battling enemies }Interesting story with humorous dialogues }Adjust the difficulty level and frequency of encounters with enemies} }Helpful tutorial teaches you all the basics :Cons }Frequent battles can become annoying }Navigation can be difficult since you have no map
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely fun and challenging game. Love the old style 2d graphics system from the rpg games I now love. It is addictive and enthralling story that I feel evokes emotion towards the characters. The maps are creative and well decorated with nice hidden areas stocked with special items. This game is a real 5 star masterpiece.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Entertaining, tons of secrets, excellent exploration and battles and good replayability. I have already played the non-Steam version of the game, so I based my review on it. 3 Stars of Destiny (3SoD) is a prequel to Laxius series. If you're a fan of Random and his friends, than 3SoD is a must-play. And even without a knowledge of the characters, it has a lot to offer. I personally prefer challenge, and 3SoD can deliver it. Of all the similar games, it has possibly most secrets and the most…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wondered about the story for the first few minutes, but after that it carried me along into a game that is massive in scope. It’s not just the story, it’s the game play, the range of gear and skills, the variety of strategies needed, the side quests if you choose to do them. All of these together make an interesting, sometimes really challenging, but always enjoyable experience. If you like exploring you’re going to enjoy this game. It gives you decent rewards for going off the main path,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Personal Rating: 3 of 10 This game kicks off with an opening scene with 3 glowing insects or some sort of winged pest. Next it presents you with a short cut-scene of an unidentified creature slaughtering a witch and BAM...puts you right into the game with a protagonist named RANDOM. At first I thought maybe I skipped the name creation or the name generator broke or something so I actually GOOGLED this and confirmed that the character's name is indeed RANDOM. While I greatly appreciate games…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall I liked 3 Stars of Destiny. It is an oldschool style rpg with a mix of interesting characters and some humor. The combat system is solid, it has good level design, lots of secrets, challenges, and achievements. With that being said, if you do not like snes style rpgs, there's probably not much I can do to convince you to like it. You either like this style of game, or you hate it. Nothing I'm typing here will change your mind if you hate RPG maker games. Please do note that unlike…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Generic RPGMaker JRPG. The first impression I had with the game is the writing. The writing is incredibly super juvenile and childish. The next thing I noticed was that the beginning of the game was extremely too easy - while I understand that you don't want to make the beginning too hard, it completely diminishes the value of the monster variety when you oneshot everything. That said, to its credit, the middle of the game ramps its difficulty up significantly enough as to create a legitimate…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am addicted to RPG Maker games and yet I can't recommend this one. It has horrible pacing, an unlikable main character and very low quality assets.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game. I REALLY did. but 20 minutes in and I was completely disappointed not just with the experience the game was trying to provide, but with EVERYTHING. Starting off with one of the minor characters saying "(dies)", moving on to the main character being named "Random" (Seriously? "Random"? Naming your dog "Fluffy" is more creative) to even the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with the inns. The items are expensive enough already, but then to have the inns charge half of your current amount just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overview: If youve played every other RPG out there and need more, it has all the trappings of one, however it seriously lacks in both meaninful plot and character development. Although its an OK game, I wouldnt recommend it when there is chrono trigger, secret of mana, dragon quest, earthbound and all the final fantasy games out there instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a competent rpg that lacks depth and length but remains fun

Overall Rating - Painfully Bad ★☆☆☆☆ First Impressions Having recently gone so far back in my gaming history as to review Millennium – A New Hope (NH), I also decided to review another game I own from Aldorlea Games, 3 Stars of Destiny (3S). It was released only a month prior to the other title, which doesn't seem like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an incredible prologue to an incredible series. Thought it may not be world-famous, it certainly should be. Laxius Power is one of the most loved RPG Maker 2000 games of all time in my opinion. If you've played LP or Laxius Force, you definitely need to play this to see how the Laxius Team met. As for people who have never heard of the Laxius games, boy are you in for a treat. After you play this, google Laxius Power 1, 2, and 3, (free) and then play Laxius Force 1, 2, and 3…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So my first thoughts on on the game upon starting it were that it had character it many aspects from the obviously linear "Bad guys" to the great use of sound assets, this game really sets the tone for a adventure which is quite marvelous! I have tried to keep this spoiler free as to give you guys the chance to play it without any idea of what happens however if you want to know my first thoughts as I play the game I will leave a link to a video I did on it. http://youtu.be/zyQri41IyEw
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3 Stars of Destiny is your average RPG maker game. Nothing new or special about it. The whole game was made with basic/default RPG maker functions. It's the same battle system from any RPG maker game, with the same gimmicks and the same graphics (although they do have some original art for a few things). The story is meh with a lot of walking back and forth through the same maps and a few randomly generated dungeons. If you never played a RPG maker game before, you may enjoy it. But in my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3 Stars? More like 5 Stars are in the destiny for this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Three stars guide the fate Heroes rise where kingdoms fall Destiny takes form
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Contains tiny spoilers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTepivFxAmM An RPG-Maker game that visually looks the business for those seeking a JRPG-Experience for Indie-RPG money, but sadly lacks any great depth when it comes to the story. While I say this is a 'Negative' review, ultimately this depends on what kind of gamer you are. If the appeal of levelling a character, while walking around some fairly lush and well-thought-out landscapes appeals to you - or indeed the simple mechanics of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3 Stars of Destiny is in a very real sense the Traditional RPG. The three main characters are Random, Sarah, and Luciana the Mage, who are destined for a great power. Fate brings them together, as an Evil God, Ozur attempts to trap the hero's and steal their power. As is usual with RPG's, the game offers a mixture of random battle encounters, as well as an environment rich for exploration. There is a short interactive tutorial to help you get adjusted to the game and the learning curve is very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It plays nice enough and the maps are really well designed. That said the UI is hideous, most charcter portraits as well. The writing isn't exactly top-notch either. All in all I wouldn't reccommend this one even though I rather like RPGMaker games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Information 3 Stars of Destiny is an action adventure / RPG, which was developed by Aldorlea Games. Gameplay The evil orc Ozur has discovered some powerful energy that will make him completely and totally unstoppable! It’s up to you to prevent Ozur from gathering this energy as you quest to the 3 Stars of Destiny! Customize your character’s abilities and skills in this exciting role-playing game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've owned this for quite awhile before it showd up on steam and can safetly say it's a great RPG, combati s fun, there's lots of secrets and optional bosses to find, and the maps are surprisingly pretty. hopefully the rest of the series shows up on steam eventually.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a pretty great game so far. :3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's your standard RPG. Writing aint the best but it is pretty solid it stumped me in a dungeon so for that I recommend it I probably wont beat it but hey if you just want another RPG to play go and pick this up. Oh yeah Main charcter's name if Random... I though it was a joke nope dude's name is RANDOM PENDRAGON!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only 2 hours in, and I'm in love. The characters really shine when in combat, as well as out side. Beginning game is a bit slow, but the amount of fun I've had is unmatched. 3 Stars of Destiny is worth it's small price tag right now, but it is also worth the 15 normally. Witty dialouge and fun combat with an interactable world, make this one of the funnest (I don't care if it's a word or not) RPG's I've played in a while!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's playable, but I can't recommend it. Very difficult to get through, I only played it because I'm the stubborn type who just doesn't know when to give up. 16.99 for this game is a sick joke and absolute robbery. You can TELL it's a game fresh out of RPG Maker.. they didn't even try. The main protagonist's name is Random, for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It really has no reedemable features in comparison to other RPGs that really stand out to me. Another hastily created RPGMaker game pushed out to try and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very good little rpg, little weird love story but fun to see them arguing :P
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My remarks are based on the non-Steam version of this game. As a long time fan of the old school rpgs, I am very happy to see games from this developer arriving here at Steam. These are among the very best of this style, and this particular offering is no exception. It is outstanding and exceptional. The story in these games is fundamentally important, and this one is masterfully done. It is intriguing and very captivating with very good humor as well. It takes only a little time to find…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i think that this title is in no way game of the year material, but i don't think it is trying to be. There is alot that i dislike about this game, the amount of clicking for one. but it a fun game. also a point that has not come up it got steam cards......
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Problem with most RPGMaker games is that when you played couple of them you have seen most they have to offer and with every new one will be more and more similar to another. There are only couple that stand out from the crowd and this one unfortunately isn't one of them. And this RPGMaker clunkiness almost everywhere, you can create games easier but it have price which is quality and lack on unique look and feel. So if you game don't have great story, levels or something that make it better…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On one hand, 3 Stars is alright. It looks pretty enough, even for RPGMaker, and the enemy design is competant. You have some choices as to difficulty settings, and the ability to pick the encounter rate is a nice touch. On the other, the main character is named *ehem* RANDOM (the caps lock is how they spell it in game, I wish I was kidding) who is an irredeemable monstrosity of tropes and unnecessary arseholishness towards all the women he meets, while dropping weird 4th wall breaking…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worst game ever. This is horrible even for a rpgmaker game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring and poorly made.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love having mouse control, which is quite rare in RPG Maker games. The characters are both entertaining and witty. And the secret rooms are a great bonus. I DEFINITELY recommend this game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →finally finished this game after a long time -- i think i started it years ago, but the save file stayed around every few months i might play it a bit more, do a dungeon, then neglect it. but finally after a few years i finished it. i didn't finish all the quests, or find all the hidden locations, but i beat the main quest and saw the credits, so i figure i'd write a review. i've been a jrpg fan since dragon quest 1 and final fantasy 1 on the NES, so keep that context in mind -- if you aren't,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun. While an RPGMaker game, 3 Stars is a wonderful little thing, and as it was produced by Aldorlea, it is in good hands. The game is rich, the combat thrilling, and the story epic. Gameplay is standard for the genre, but has a few twists and turns.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of my favourite rpg games ever. I know it is considered a stand alone game, but after I play this game I often play the Laxius Power and Laxius Force games. The artwork is beautiful, the script and story are entertaining, and I love all the sidequests. I also enjoy trying to get all of the steam achievements. I truly hope that Aldorlea puts the Laxius Force games on steam soon.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Weak entry by Aldorlea game. The story isn't nearly as good as their Millennium series of games. Pick that one up instead.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Of all of the pieces of garbage that Aldorlea has spewed onto Steam, this by far the second worst one of all the ones I've had the displeasure of playing. It starts out innocently enough, and seems to present a fair mix of comedy, story, and reasonable classic turn-based RPG elements. But that's just to lure you in. The truth is, the BS difficulty on this game is second only to The Book of Legends. Once you start getting to the marshlands portion of the game, all pretenses of fairness are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A generic RPGMaker game with amateur sprites, clunky writing and humor from the 2000s. Balancing is bad and the maps are jank with lots of backtracking.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pro: Traditional RPG. Excellent Story. Soundtrack. Lightweight (100mo). Con: Random Battle. Review: Story 9/10: Excellent story with a lot of side quest, secret to find and much more. Gameplay 8/10: Simple but effective, the tutorial for this game is good. Music 7.5/10: Great BGM which are adapted to the games. Graphism 7/10: Simple but good, this game include a lot of custom resource and a lot of maps (300+). Play Time 8/10: 20+ hours of play time without problem! Final Word: If you have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far, I'm loving this. If you played the old Laxius Power games, you'll really enjoy finally getting the full back-story of how the team came together in the first place. It's interesting seeing Random and Sarah slowly come together to become the incredible couple they already were by the time we met them in the Laxius games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Here is another great retro style rpg from Aldorlea. It has all of the elements I look for in this type of game: -an excellent and absorbing story -great character development -nice graphics that really take me back to the retro style -secret rooms, areas, and weapons -great music I can see this is going to be another time consuming adventure and that (for me, anyway) is the best kind. I really recommend giving this game a look.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Console style RPG. Maybe for kids 7-10 years old. Not my cup of tea. Being honest, got this game on a bundle and installed it without thinking about it. 3 Stars of Destiny presents a standard design, with a standard premise and a standard plot. Thinking about it, that's this game problem: it's way too generic and predictable. Overall, the game it's what you'll expect from it (keeping in mind what's been said before): decent console graphics, juvenile and pseudo-fantastic plot, basic dialog,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the worst games I have in my game library, games like this are why digital games need to adopt a way to sell games to other users or "return" them for some credit.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game stands out as a captivating retro-style RPG, offering a truly unique adventure in this genre. With its nice pixel art style and immersive storyline, it takes players on a nostalgic journey filled with engaging turn-based combat and strategic gameplay. The ability to seamlessly switch between characters during battles is what sets it apart from games similar to it, allowing for dynamic and tactical encounters. The game's expansive world begs to be explored, revealing diverse…

Main character is pictured as selfish, arogant bastard (said politely), but at some point he…
