Gameplay:
The gameplay seemed decent, once you traverse through the first area. Then, as the great poets once said. The shi*eth' hiteth the fan. The pacing becomes horrible, and the difficulty goes off the charts. I sighed in despair, when the monsters attack percentage went from two to three points of damage, to ten to twenty-five. Although it doesn't seem lilke a massive leap, a "beef quest" or a "level up-athon" is not something game players want in this fast paced game in, game out world. No one likes a simple-minded "beef-athon" where you have to be between level fifteen before you traverse the second area. B-o-r-i-n-g.

Story:

Well, honestly I'm not sure where to start here. I think I can begin, and end this by saying your a female demon slayer, that in intertwined in a quest to kill the evil overlord. And, along those axis' you have people "mysteriously" joining, and leaving your party. I say this based on the fact of unknowing where these "party members" come from! Case in point, your in the forest traversing your merry way through and this character is standing in your way. Of course your forced to have him join your party, which isn't a bad thing. But then he leaves your party, by saying "Goodbye"... alright, then you don't see him again. Just as your approaching the exit, that's what he says...odd to say the least.

Visuals:

I know it sounds like I've been slamming this game, left and right. And some points I would agree. However, in the artistic field, the artist knows where it's at. He takes most of the tilesets to new levels. Some unique examples are a simple dressing room, with a cleverly designed mirror, or a bridge that crosses a ravine leading torward the foreboding castle. Decent scenes. However, many of the fade-outs deliver abrupt endings. And, screw up most of the pacing. And, I hate to end the best aspect of this title on a bad night. However, what must be done, must be done. The game uses many pre-made tileset maps. Which are definately beautiful in their own accord, but hinder creativity. Of course. In the future, create your own maps.

Debug:

This category takes most titles straight to the floor. And, this is one of them. It should have been left in the over a little longer, because it's not fully done. A random mis-spelling now and then. And, a very frequent, and annoying use of syntax. Earlier in the review, I mentioned the story being abruptly unsatisfactory. This, case in point has to do with the linear gameplay. Many cases had the player able to roam free, and not under a barrier to learn the story in the first place. Control the player, don't let it control the game. Odd, as that sounds. Heed my words.

RPG Maker Magazine Score:

Presentation:
+ Decent from an artistic standpoint, and most scenarios fit the right type of mood.
- The pre-made tileset maps, always show a sign of laziness, not creativity. Unless, you take them in new directions. This, did not.
[Final]: 15/25

Features:
+ A well structured gameplay system. The spells are in order, and the game runs decent.
- Should have simmered, then brought to a boil. Not completely done.
[Final]: 10/25

Debug:
+ The system is in place, and operational. Not to many questions to ask.
- The difficulty is unbalanced, and syntax errors rot most of the script.
[Final]: 8/25

Fun:
+ Artistically, it's worth a look.
- You can't play a painting can you?
[Final]: 5/25

Overall:
There isn't a lot of vampire slaying rpg's out there. So when comes along most will snatch it up. However, this is one to leave in the database. Not worth a download, unless your looking for a somewhat decent artistic experience. Just prepare yourself for a massive "level-athon".

Final:
38/100%
