42 of 42 · most liked firstThis is a nice, well made RPG with about 20+ hours of game play, if you do all the side quests. The storyline is interesting as it involved time travel and a mix of both technology and magic. The gameworld is detailed and I played from beginning to end without encountering any bugs which is wonderful. I was also able to get all the achievements in a single playthrough. The searching for secret rooms and hidden objects is another interesting hallmark of Aldorlea games which made exploration…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an interesting game. The concept involves time travel in hopes of reversing the pollution of the "present" day (considering they have time travel, it is probably future to us). A journalist hears a rumor that the military might be involved in some secret project, goes to check on it... and touches the wrong buttons (of course), stranding him and someone else in the past. While trying to survive, they make acquaintances and try to fit in. Gameplay is smooth, and the graphics are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very well made game. The attention to detail in the maps is great, and so far it has been very balanced, in terms of minimal need for grinding, the rewards given for exploration and sidequests. For the most part, each party member is useful too. The story is quite well made, the interactions between characters are well written and show consistent character, and there is plenty of humour, and much of it is genuinely funny. I have to admit that the humour can be a bit "trope-y" at times,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really sweet little rpg-maker game! Like most of the other Aldorlea titles, it's fun, well balanced and customizable. You are free to choose between visible or invicible enemies, various difficulties, and mouse, gamepad or keyboard controls. It has nice artwork, music and you can even play with two seperate parties in the beginning. It has pretty good writing, too, so I definitely recommend checking out A Timely Intervention.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was easy, perhaps a tinge too easy, but overall I enjoyed this romp through time. Sure the time travel aspect isn't expounded upon much in game, but the end result of the story was one of the best I've had in ages. I admit the character development and story hooked me into this like I haven't been by some bigger indie and AAA titles in a long time. That's what makes these things so enjoyable. Plus due to the fact you are from a much more advanced society heading back in time, they…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ Time travel setting + Humor (especially the part where the slips up of the journalist are being disguised by the other char from the future by calling him "simple" ) + 2 seperate parties let you get to know 10 different chars + when the parties unite again, those not in your active party still gain XP, in case you change your mind + you don't need to finish every single sidequest / find all the secrets for the achievements - the part where you get to play with a custom party is very short -…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall rating: 7/10 It's clear that quite a bit of effort went into this game. If you enjoy JRPGs with heavy customization, you should have fun with this one. The game has mouse support and also starts out with the ability customize the difficulty and the visibility of enemies. I chose "Hard" and it did genuinely feel hard, so it appears well balanced. I would wager that I may have died in the first encounter if I had chosen "Legendary", the hardest difficulty. The levels are well laid out…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good story, fun characters. I really enjoyed playing this game. What was nice about it was that it was unconventional. You play two different parties, and switch off at different plot points. Graphics are standard customized RPG-Maker fare, but the gameplay is fun, and you quickly get past that. Recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game.exe is trojan.gen8. norton autoremoves and game is unplayable unless you disable norton. no thanks. i have a library full of games that dont do this, i dont intend to pay to let malware on my system
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Needs a stronger focus on waifus. Another nice feature often lacking in these budget JRPG's and lacking here as well, is for the combat menus to remember your input from the previous round, and for you to be able to hold down the button to get through repetitive combat a little more comfortably. The game also loses points for having an easy mode, and it is VERY easy, because ♥♥♥♥ games journalists thats why. Pass.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Gemelle game is worthy to buy for the well-built story, well-rounded dialogues. By mistake you travel back in time and another team is sent to find yours. So take notes of the infos/ events of both parties, to keep track on the fascinating story. Marrlon Project studies past ecosystems, Praedus wonders why the military funds a lot this project. You’ll discover the cause of pollution as well as the existence of magic. I felt sorry for Praedus’ jokes misunderstood by Alicia for stupidity.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent JRPG if that's the kinda game you are looking for than this one shall suit all of your needs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this game a lot. It felt like an old school RPG classic. Easy learning curve, and the way the different storylines connected was interesting. It's not the longest or most complex RPG out there, but I definitely felt like I got my money's worth. And I felt like I could replay the game in the future and still enjoy it, which is always a bonus for me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great game and it has time travel.

unlabelledView post →Well though out story rpg by Aldorlea, always great games. Great replay value due to multiple party choices. Highly customizable regarding difficulty, monster visibility and encounter rate.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked this game a lot and think it's a pretty good example of how RPG maker games can still be a lot of fun. Without spoiling a lot of details, this is a pretty classic time traveling meets fantasy past story, with several characters being from the future and having to deal with the effects they're having with timelines in the past. There's some generic time traveling tropes that don't necessarily make this a compelling SCI FI story, but the game more than makes up for this with its design. A…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great little jprg style game. A lot of slop out there these day with the rpg maker running amok. This one though has a good story and fun gameplay. Yea it could use a 100 more hours of gameplay and a little more grinding. I wouldn't have minded seeing more monsters and more gear. I wanted more of this game basically. I bought it on sale which I would recommend as the game is only about 15-20 hours long. I also wish there were more strategy guides online as I refuse to pay a game maker for a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great visuals. Great music. Good scifi/fantasy story. The game rewards exploration, the combat isn't boring and the charactors are interesting. I could've happily stayed in that world for another 20 hours. Thank you to the game creator.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An old school classic rpg that presents an interesting story involving time travel. I have not seen this particular variant used in Aldorlea's games before and they have made it both fun and interesting. As with all of Aldorlea's games, the conversation moves the story and its explanation along nicely without getting boring. It does not take very long at all to be completely absorbed in the gameplay. Graphics are well done, game mechanics are fine, and the music is appropriate. There are…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Timely Intervention brings classic RPG mechanics with a well-written story, offering a nostalgic experience. The game’s turn-based combat is simple but effective, and the narrative keeps things interesting. While it doesn't break new ground, it does provide solid gameplay and a charming art style. The best part? Scoring this game at a 90% discount makes it an incredible value for the price. The developers crafted an accessible yet engaging RPG, perfect for anyone looking to unwind with a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is rich in story, plot, suspense and then the typical fun of RPG. I like Indinera's gaming ideology for long and to see it without any stupid comments about sex and gender and without any over-sexualization of the whole game/graphics etc. It was a delight! I would pay twice the price for the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →love the simplicity and the side thing you need to do. the storyline is just2, but still enjoyable
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Entertaining game but I wish there were more relationship-developing events throughout the game. The ending seems out of place in terms of character pairings.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →非常に創造的で面白いゲーム 私もこのようなRPGツクールゲームをプレイするのが好きです
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was scanning through games that was affordable and I stumble upon this game. I must admit, I didn't have high expectations because I thought it was ordinary generic RPG. LET ME TELL YOU THIS. I was WRONG. Excellent character. Enjoyable and literally laughing out loud at the interaction between characters. Great story line. Good main lead. Good game play. Overall enjoyable. Its an old RPG experience. Almost took me back to when I played Chrono Trigger. Great Game. 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite an addictive game with more to it than initially expected.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good story. Neat game play and features. Enjoying it very much.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid JRPG game as usual by Aldorlea Games. It's nothing fancy since it is a RPGMaker game but there is a boat load of content.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked it, but there's a lot I'd have liked to be different. My main issue is how linear the game is, I only found out that you can't go back to complete your side quests until it was too late. The world seems quite small too, once you've completed a section there isn't much point in going back, not like most rpg games with a vast open world.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game, but you need to grind about 2 hours to make sure that you won't game over (in legendary) i forgot having this game haha and just start playing this game rn. thanks covid
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gemelle games have been my favorite RPG game so far, because of its interesting story at the beginning and a heart warming characters development at the end. Game play was very fun but there were too many states to remember, even though there were scrolls that explained about those states in the inventory, I still think it's a pain trying to memorize or reopen it, so I just played without memorize and reopen the scroll till the end game, and it's still fun. How I got to play with 2 teams of 5…
