I’m not a big Mario fan but I enjoyed this game. The graphics are all probably taken from various Mario games, however they are integrated well. The screen always flashes before every battle and game over, which was quite annoying.
The story is what I would expect from a Mario game, it's actually one of its strongest points. The music is pretty good, with many different tracks for this relatively short game, I noticed some of them didn’t loop well though.
There isn’t much gameplay, in fact the only time you can move a character around is when Bowser first appears. I did find it funny that he will berate you if you go the wrong way. In battle, having to use the mouse to choose an attack was weird, especially since there was only one option available and the rest of the game is played with the arrow keys and spacebar. The only way to beat the second boss is to time your attacks perfectly, which may seem very difficult but all you actually have to do is mash the spacebar.
The little quiz on the loading screen was a nice addition.
Reviews for "Mario's Final RPG Ep.1"
Excellent game! It had the charm and overall tone as it was established within the various Mario RPGs around!
There's a few oddities here and there, battle animations weren't as smooth as it were in the games, and music would often stop abnormally. There was times where I didn't know the game was prompting me to move until I figured it out on my own. Nevertheless, I thought the game was quite fun and I'm eager to play the next episode!
I also especially loved the fact you can name that baby Yoshi from the Thousand-Year Door game, I thought that was a nice touch, haha.
Well color me impressed
Everyone is in character
Standard story for a Mario Game
Bowser had some great lines "Now you know how it feels to be a victim of Home Invasion" I never thought it of that way lol
And best of all not a shitty OC in sight.
Seriously I wasnt expecting you to have a change of way since that whole fiasco but yeah I can't wait for part 2!
Thanks bro
I got 100 points for a simple quiz? That's REALLY generous.
I love this game. I want Episode 2. 5 stars buddy! :D
