How's it going everyone, in this RPG Maker MV First Impressions video we take a look at Shadow Hearts Revenant by Thorfax13. This game has a nice level of polish to all the writing, maps, and scenes. The cut-scenes and story-writing are well done and actually quite good. The biggest thing this game does right are the number of clever puzzles that it has. Figuring out these puzzles can be frustrating at times, but they're actually not too hard once you think about them, and overall I really liked the puzzles in Shadow Hearts Revenant. There was a very nice enemy variety and good selection of creature images. The problem was they mostly just use a basic attack for the whole fight. A few of the maps were box maps, but some of the maps are really cool looking. The UI was done better in this project than many other MV projects I've been sent. Mainly because of the awesome feel you get for opening treasure chests. The sound selection was pretty spot on, with a few exceptions, like when saving the game you can barely hear the sound notification letting you know your game is saved. There are some collision detection areas that can be fixed by using YEP_RegionRestrictions. (Which appears to be the plugin that's being used for collisions, so it's probably just a minor oversight.) No horse sound effect where it could actually work. Why not? There is a unique looking world map, that adds some much needed 'different-ness' to the project. Some of the maps feel very polished and some feel like they were rushed. Greater map consistency is something that gets looked over. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Think of your game a chain, and each map a link. Thanks for watching! :)

TLDR:  Unbalanced final boss making him too hard, the rest of the enemies were all too easy. Good puzzle game, boring combat system.
