Are you tired of being running around slaying dragons and murdering bandits? Are you sick of getting crazy loot and being a l33t warrior? If so then "You are NOT the Hero" is the game for you.
Actually, "You are NOT the Hero" is the game for everybody it's great!
You play as Petula a normal girl in a normal town. She is awoken by the real "heros" when they steal her necklace. They "need" it to fight Chema's army of Doom. As stated in the title you are definitely not the hero. You just want your necklace back.
The three parts I will cover in the review are: Gameplay, Presentation, and originality.
Gameplay: The gameplay in YANTH is fresh and never gets tiresome. You have the ability to jump over obstacles, which results in losing some HP whenever you fall. In the first scene you must escape from guards by pressing the left and right arrow keys to fill your meter up and knock them out. There are no filler puzzles in this game, they all are significant and challenging without being frustrating. There is one very challenging area where you must dodge falling rocks, there are many of them and if you are short on HP and restoratives you will have a very bad time. But you can get some helpful items in the puzzle.
Presentation: This game is gorgeous, the maps are all well thought out and not to linear. The light effects make it look very realistic. There is a nice system for completing challenges where you are awarded stars by completing tasks listed in the most efficient way as possible. By far the best feature is the dialogue, It is hilarious and laden with references to other video games. The characters break the 4th wall, and are just downright hilarious. I love the use of Yanfly's gab window to see what characters are thinking in during conversations. There is some language, but it is mild.
Originality: This is the most original RPG Maker game I have ever played. Your story is the side story to the real game. You don't even fight, you use your smarts to figure out the puzzles and challenges. I was never bored, and want to play it over and over again.
Verdict: YANTH is a fresh new concept choc full of references and humor. The puzzles are great but the controls are hard to get used to. You need to play this game, now!
9.5/10
