This is so far the only RPGM2 game I've played with an real-time battle system. And I'm hoping that such a system can be done much better than this (especially since I intend to make full use of one). Having to frequently push [] in order to make use of commands seems too unnecessary, and I'd rather not have to memorize so many button combinations.

Plus, interacting with the enemies is rather painful. I died a lot. I wound up pressing []-[] over and over when enemies were near in hopes that they were considered next to me, hoping that they wouldn't be able to attack. And boy, did they attack. I'm not sure how I was supposed to avoid getting hit. Of most annoyance were the ghosts. Everytime I stepped into one, I apparently fell under some "stun" effect, where every step my character would turn a ghostly white for a second or two, the game petty much freezing as this happened. And this could be a bug, but sometimes as I hit the ghosts, bombs would appear out of nowhere. Not to mention, most times when I did hit the enemy, the game would stall to figure out what's going on before allowing me to continue.

It seemed easy to get lost, too. Especially in the first dungeon. Seemed that the ground blended together with itself at different elevations, making it hard to tell where I could walk and where I couldn't. The town also seemed empty towards the graveyard. The graveyard actually looked pretty decent.

As it stands, the game seems so unplayable, that I didn't want to bother finishing the first dungeon. If it were remade into a much more streamlined game, I'd go ahead and play it. The idea of Zelda on RPGM2 is interesting, at least. Hopefully Neo's learned a few new tricks since making this game.

(PS, if this is the wrong forum for this, apologies, as I didn't see any other place this could've went.)

Eek, calling it unplayable is a little harsh, but it is the first ACBS that came out so give it a little credit. If you want to try out a good ACBS on RPGM2, try out both Vanished Nights and the latest Zelda Sword of Magic demos. Both show very well made ACBS's.

Sounds like Draygone got his butt kicked. Just kidding, I'm just messing with you. I've never tried it yet, but the entire CBS thing is awesome, anyways. I wish I could pull it off. I also wish I had a MaxReplay or something to put my games on the internet. Where can I buy one?

You can get a MaxDrive at Best Buy or GameStop (at least in my neighborhood)

BTW - anyone who can create a unique battle system for RPG Maker 2 deserves all the kudos!
