Aces High

Aces High is a free game I made to learn how to use RPG Maker, so the whole game uses assets from the RPG Maker program. No additional custom assets were used; just whatever came with the software.

The story is about a student of Ace Academy, a school that educates and trains up-and-coming adventurers, explorers and scholars. The student, Zura, goes on various missions assigned by the academy to test her abilities as a new adventurer.

The full game is released and up for download right now. Aces High provides hours of gameplay and some challenging battles. As this is my first game ever made, expect any glitches, bugs, typos, errors, etc. If you encounter any problems, please let me know and I'll try to fix it if I can.

As for the story, it wasn't my main focus. So the plot is simple and the characters are one-dimensional. It was good practice to work on my writing abilities, but I am still not by any means a storyteller. As one of my friends described the story while playtesting the game, he said "It is full of tropes and clichés and honestly feels like a fanfiction at some points, but at least the gameplay is fine."

Also, the game uses strong language and has minor gore (blood on some enemy sprites).

This game includes:
-Up to 10 different party members with inactive ones still getting EXP!
-Plenty of dungeons to explore for treasure and bosses to fight!
-A few optional dungeons with better treasure and tougher bosses!
-NPC dialogue that changes when progressing the plot!
-A bunch of annoying status ailments to deal with!
-Grind up to the max level of 30 to learn potent and useful abilities!
-A weird story that goes nowhere!
-A couple of secrets here and there that you may or may not find!
-Roughly about 10+ hours of gameplay!
-A total of 3 optional superbosses, one in the main game and two in the very short post-game!

Thank you and I hope you enjoy.
