40 of 40 · most liked firstOh. My. God. Okay. I'm not even sure how to review this without being impolite. Please, if you're going to drop an obviously rpg-maker-esque game, SPELL CHECK YOUR DIALOGUE. I can move past the low-quality copy-paste images for "monsters", even the forced story without any real build-up, but obvious grammar mistakes and forgetting to end a sentence... That is too far. You have to make me want to love the main character, or even hate him. I don't care, just make me feel something…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, so because this game was on sale I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately I bought it without seeing the reviews, and I was in for one hell of a disappointment. After about 30 minutes of playing it I could not bring myself to continue, the whole game is just... ugly. The art is shoddy, almost Deviantart levels of bad. Battles take forever to finish, the battle sprites are animated poorly, and enemy sprites look like they are just straight up ripped from other sources. The story is not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My full review can be found here: http://www.the-backlog.net/fated-souls-review/ Disclaimer: I was provided a copy by the publisher for review. As a mercenary, Gauly isn't liked very much. He still gets hired for jobs though, and this one should be simple, or so you would think. A simple escort mission for the church soon turns into something bigger - something that affects the whole world. Fated Souls suffers from numerous issues. There's a lot of slow backtracking in the game, which isn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer: I won this game in a contest, and while grateful to the publisher and developer for this prize, I'm very glad I didn't pay for it... As a fan of RPG maker games, I've played my fair share. I've played some excellent titles such as Sydney's World, and Vagrant Hearts 1 & 2. They had interesting stories, unique and memorable characters, excellent battle systems, and very good interfaces. This game doesn't make me feel the same way. It should be noted that the Vagrant Hearts series…

unlabelledView post →Idk, there are so many RPGs.. This one is very very very derivative, you always have that sensation of "I already played this thing a hundred times before".. The soundtrack is awful, and the graphics too.. yeah, it's RPG Maker.. there is no Setting options anywhere so you have to stick with the graphics and the options given by the developers.. The battle system is utterly standard, the classic Final Fantasy turn-based system.. oh, of course you can't play with a joystick and even remap your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In Fated Souls the main character (Gauly) is thrown into an innocent enough sounding situation wherein he is called on to escort a maiden (and her mentor) of the "Great Church" to a faraway temple. Simple enough, but, of course, obstacles of all sorts present themselves in this quick moving and absorbing story of a man (Gauly) who is tormented by his inner conflicts and past history as a mercenary. As the trio move across the world, there are many characters, situations, monsters, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the art in this game allthough some enemies and people are rather blurry and they dont even seem to fit into the game as if they were just copy pasted into the game. the game promises fun game play but im not entirely sure thats the truth the conversations happens way to frequently and there is no way to tell if its going to be a short conversation or a never ending one that takes place several ingame days. ive also managed to find some minor typos and grammar issues within the texts.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is... interesting. It is a nice little RPG, and appears to have originally been called Dark Souls (the name change might have something to do with another game with that name getting too popular). You start as Gauly, a mercenary on the run from his past. You are given a quest which might lead to your redemption... or your end. Warfare Studios appears to be slowly moving their game library over to Steam. For instance, this game appears to have originally been published in 2009, but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pros: + I liked the Gauly and other party members. They're not the typical heroes. + Smooth gameplay. The fast movement also adds to this. + I liked the story. + Fairly big dungeons with lot of optional stuff. cons: - Battles are quite repetitive and don't require much strategy. - I missed a quest log. Sometimes it's a bit confusing remembering what to do. Fated Souls is not perfect, but I liked the story and the characters. And the game plays easily, I rarely got stuck. Somehow it felt…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Heroic Antihero... A more or less epic quest to find peace and salvation brings the hero of this game in a very awkward situation... Graphics: Ø The graphics are simply the RPGMaker stuff that is available. Sound: Ø Standard RPGMaker sound too... Playability: Ø Just your average JRPG created by RPGMaker... Important Values for Genre: Story: + The story comes like a bit of a surprise, the game has it's offs, but once you get started with the game, you actually will try to finish it. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I'm mixed about this game. There are good points and bad so suppose it's worth detailing both. Pros - good story and characters - a mix of abilities - different monsters everywhere - a fair amount of content for an rpg maker game Cons - no way I could find to make it full screen....I mean cmon.... - while the story is good, there is alot of backtracking and no map to tell you where things are if you didn't write it down Overall, I wish there was a neutral option but I'll play the 2nd one…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Accidentally left out a game! We gushed about it on stream for incorporating Safety Tools as somatic components for above the table. It's a modern dark fantasy game where witches sell their souls for power. "Witch: Fated Souls 2e" by Angry Hamster Publishing 🇳🇱 Apologies 🙇🏽♀️
unlabelledView post →RPG Maker strikes again! Fated Souls is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was Warfare's debut game and it does show a bit. Like their other games they were added on Steam (I assume by publisher Aldorlea) many years after they were initially made. This one was published in 2009. It was originally called Dark Souls but had to change it's name due to another, a bit more famous, game with the same name... but this one was released in 2009 and Dark Souls only in 2011 so this game had that name first yet they were forced to change it. Anyway: the game itself, I find…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mixed on this one, but it’s so old and forgettable that it’s easy to pass on and pick a better title.

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 →Formally called Dark Souls - when I was a kid I couldn't find a single guide for this game because a certain behemoth happened to have the same name, though I knew nothing of FromSoftware at the time - and while I'm still most intrigued by the story, ye old RPG Maker stuff has not aged well. XD Tough one good thing is that the old Alt + Enter trick for getting such games to full screen still works, otherwise this would be unplayable on a 1080p screen. I did find a walkthrough this time, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute little game! Decent story and is relatively long.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not a bad RPG, There is a trade, battles with bosses, quests, loved the huge dungeons,and a bunch of buns in them, so I want to play)) Very interesting story, the Developers have paid much attention to the atmosphere of the play, to such details with the help of which you are immersed in biomes whether it's a Sunny day, misty morning or a cold winter, I want to note the cloudy, rainy biome I of this game I liked the most. also can be crafted a beautiful icon, which gives 1 plus to the game I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fated Souls is a fantasy role-playing game developed by Warfare Studios and published by Aldorlea Games that embraces the style and structure of classic role-playing adventures while delivering a story centered on determination, redemption, and personal growth. Built with traditional RPG mechanics and retro-inspired presentation, the game captures the spirit of older fantasy adventures that focused heavily on storytelling, exploration, and character progression rather than cinematic spectacle.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing it until the end, I can't say I completely hate it. But the game still has some glaring flaws that prevent me from recommending it either. From slow combat, boring dungeons, unlikeable characters, and lack of direction (for both the main quest and side quests, although there are steam guides that can help with that). But the story is decent enough, and the game is relatively straightforward. That's about the only positive I can give: that you can blast through it without too much…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(RPG PDF Spotlight) Witch: Fated Souls 2e Witch: Fated Souls Second Edition is a modern, dark fantasy game where you play a witch who sold their soul to a demon for power. Your soul might be lost, but there’s still hope for redemption if you can outwit your demon! angusabranson.com/2026/02/02/r...
unlabelledView post →Witch: Fated Souls is a horror game. You're a witch who for some reason sold your soul to get power. The ultimate goal of the game is to get your souls back. Make Your own heaven is a scifi game where you play as a hybrid angel human. Think Dark Angel.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tough game, which I like, and the script was thoughtful. Winning was an accomplishment. I didn't dislike any of it, but it would definitely be improved if (1) there were maps of more than the desert labyrinth, (2) the player could achieve the orb sooner, to cut down on the interminable plodding from place to place, and (3) if there were rush/auto options for battles, to cut down on the mashing of keys.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fate is a Cruel Mistress. I'm a pretty big fan of RPG's, and generally enjoy RPGmaker games. However, this game has some issues. The big problems are that the storyline is convoluted and uninteresting while the characters are boring and you never get attached to any of them. But, you can appreciate what the developer was trying to do so those aspects tend to be "not good enough" rather than "painful." The smaller issues are what really kill this game. Grammatical mistakes, terrible…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not much more I can say than some of the review for this game. Got it as an achievement reward and even after paying a dollar and some change, I was still overcharged. Definitely another "RPG Maker" piece of junk with tedious dialogues, crude pixel graphics, cut-and-paste character graphics, an annoying soundtrack that sounds like an out-of-work German oompah band, and a severely crippled and unbalanced combat system that leaves you with nothing but a group of dead adventures killed in 2-4…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having grown up playing D&D this really feels natural and i got a coupon from a game i already played making it $1.91 I would not have considered it but since it was cheap i tried it and i am glad i did
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good Story, the battle scene it is a bit bad, and show had a map in the game. But still a nice rpg
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tags: Topdown - RPGMaker & PartyRPG Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Small corridor like mazes and maps connect uninteractive small towns with lots of scripted dialogue. Storyline feels stale. Small world. Amateur ugly sprites that clash. Uninvolving combat. This is more of a "Fetid Souls" story. Most of the population has this vague spiritual unease and a battle over the everyman's conscience is waged between factions. Your protag is some sort of celebrity in…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the story and combat felt blant and rehashed. combat was easy untill it wasnt and i had to go back and grind wich i did not enjoy. in comparison to games like Greyfox, Aveyond, Dreamscape this was a very noobish game and just didnt hold my attention i kept playing hoping it would get better but it just didnt and the story similar to many other stories just tweecked here and there
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you can get past the typos its not a horrible game. Very basic story. Definitely brings you back to the 2d rpgs of old.
