    Okay, so I've seen the other reviews for this game, and honestly, I am wondering if we are even playing the same game. Because this game is bad. I really wanted it to be not bad, because Warfare Studios usually puts out fairly high quality RPG Maker ganes, But, this game, Is. BAD, I mean, it's playable, but that's about the only thing it's got going for it. Complaint the First: The battles. They are annoying and repetitive. Also boring as heck. I am no stranger to The Grind, but when you…

    Little RPG/RPG Maker. Fair enough. Nothing spectacular. It is enjoyable but it has no replay value and adds nothing to the genre. I recommend to get it on sale. Might be a cheap way to entertain yourself when facing few hours to kill. Good news for achievements hunters : the Shadow Master Achievement is now fixed !! Getting 100% achievements in Jade's Journey (without cheat) is now possible :) It looks like after the sequel was released dev's did look into that bug and fixed it. This…

    This is a cute little game. It follows many RPG/adventure tropes, but... what did one expect? Anyway, Jade is an ordinary girl, sent by her father to pick up some supplies, when her friend Tovan drags her away on some short adventure. When she gets back from that lark, she finds out her father has been kidnapped by a witch named Morgana, who wants her to retrieve two Orbs for her. Thing is, only the Chosen One can do so... Is Jade the Chosen One? If so, can she thwart the evil that Morgana…

    I would not recommend this game to other players. Given how small the pool of feedback is and how mixed the feedback was when I bought the game, I figured I would give it a fair shot. So I played it for the full 5 hours and completed it (100% achievements). I really wanted to like it and I kept waiting to see what everyone found so charming about it. If the combat had been simplified or shortened dramatically and a mini-map had been provided, a 5 hour trudge could have been a fun 1 hour…

    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…

    mediocre rpg game . It is for the casual player . I found there no challenge at all . no diffculity levels . battles are reppetatives . monster art is not the best . the story is a cliche . there are probably better games out there for you to play

    Don't be fooled by the 32 hours, I walked off in disgust & forgot to come back & shut it down. This game was a complete disappointment. No real story line. maps were inappropriate to the game. They were annoyingly & frustratingly enormous. There were no side quests. There was no journal. Characters & fights game speed was very slow. Equipment & items were of no real value to the characters. It was a complete disappointment from the game makers - a cop out. Move on to something else and don't…

    RPG Maker strikes again! Jade's Journey is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel JRPG ripoffs 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 weeaboo fan fiction. Basically, these guys didn't make a game, they filled out a couple…

    Jade's Journey is a roughly 5 hour adventure game made in RPG Maker. It is hardly a ground-breaking game - it uses only the most basic features of the genre, but there are no glaring problems with it either. The premise of the game is that a young girl named Jade discovers she is the chosen one after her father is kidnapped and held for ransom by an evil sorceress. Jade and her party must obtain some orbs and give them up to the sorceress in exchange for his freedom. The story is entirely…

    Jade's Journey is one of those games I can only recommend buying on sale and even then I'd tell most people to give this game a pass. This is because Jade's Journey is among the most boring RPG Maker games I've ever played. This is because battles largely boil down to spamming your best spells or spending exorbitant amounts of time whittling away at enemies with your melee weapons. To make matters worse it's pretty much necessary to stun lock bosses into submission in order to beat them…

    I launched the game expecting a really great CRPG, the type that Warfare Studios is known for. Boy, was I about to be surprised, and not in a good way. This might be one of the most horrible CRPGs I've ever played. First, the random battle encounters. Repetitive, boring, and the enemies seemed extremely uninspired. The map designs are made in such a way that it's hard to avoid the monsters, and using the Escape function will only work some of the time. I came to dread walking down those…

    Complaint the First: The battles. They are annoying and repetitive. Also boring as heck. I am no stranger to The Grind, but when you are trying to avoid or run away from more battles than you are fighting, that is a sign there is something wrong. It gets a bit better later in the game when you get a few more abilities, but battles are still for the most part devoid of any suspense or need for strategy. The monster designs are uninspired and I find myself dreading each random encounter. I did…

    There's nothing that catches the player and makes them want to play past half an hour.

    This is a rather insidious thing. Unlike the sea of "baby's first RPG Maker project" releases that can be spotted from a mile away, Jade's Journey comes equipped with a just charming enough veneer of competence and professionalism that it's probably led a good many player to think--even as they struggled to find the will to carry on through yet another soulless dungeon--that it's actually a good-faith effort at a good commercial JRPG. It isn't. Jade's Journey's asset selection (map tiles…

    I had fun playing this game. It is well written and a tad short, but that's because there's a sequel out.
