  the game is rather short but it offers a solid story and characters. Combat is rough at times but I enjoyed my experience.

  The good: + Fine story with somehow interesting main character + Fairly good world building/setting + OK soundtrack The bad: - No auto save or save prompt just before fighting boss - Poor collision detection, i often stuck near wall, stairs or other narrow places The ugly: * Unique game play mechanics (for RPGMaker game), although it has poor balance and there's no option to rebind keys While the story/lore has some potential, it suffer from low budget production. Overall it's just mediocre RPGMaker game and i don't plan to play the sequel. If you're still interested, wait for big sale.

  30 Minute Quickie Impressions: It's well done. You can tell they spent a lot of time making it. It's easy to get surrounded and die. The combat is fast-paced. It needs another round or two with the spell checker. It's currently $1.79. That's a large order of fries. Go for it. You don't need those fries anyway.

  I loved to play RPG Maker games, especially those that has good storylines and that have some unique features that is different from the run-of-the-mill type games. Well, I had a wonderful time with this game, Thorne. The game mechanics is very unique, as we do not have he regular leveling, or armors, etc. What it has is a single weapons, and a number of different accessories slots. So, it is quite refreshing. The fighting itself is also different as well. Instead of turn-based, 1-action-per-turn combat, you actually move your character around to try to avoid being hit, and press the attack button (direct combat or range combat) to try to hit the enemy. So the combat mechanics is slightly different. Another really interesting thing is the 22 Steam achievements. Although you can finished the main quest in 2-3 hours, I actually spend 10 hours, playing the game 3 times, and trying to figure out all the different achievements. This is because the activation of certain events are not too obvious and trying to figure out how to trigger them is part of the fun of the game. There are also different type of exploration puzzles, hidden items, partial keys, etc, that make the game interesting as well. I loved this game. The only shortcoming that I can think of for this game is : IT IS TOO SHORT :). However, as I understand it, this is Part 1 of an 8 part episodic game and that we would be able to carry forward our save game to the next episode. This is really excellent. Furthermore the price of slightly more than $1 for such a game is defintely worth it!! I love this game, and would look forward to buying and playing all 8 episodes. Keep up the good work, developers... and I definitely recommend this game.

  After actually sitting down and playing through this game I definitely have a few gripes... *PROS* - Great mapping/atmosphere - Witcher-like feel *CONS* - Really easy to get cornered/obliterated - No autosave - and no queues to some boss fights - Chock full of spelling/grammatical errors The game starts off pretty strong - and it had a lot of potential but it's far too short to deliver a sense of accomplishment. You're basically in this one town and you get a few quests (about ten including side quests) to learn some history of it's residents and the surrounding country...the game just felt like just an introduction - there was no real climax or ending. EDIT: Was experiencing major lag - but after upgrading to Windows 10 the problem somehow fixed itself, so...

  Imagine if you will some company from the 16-bit era tried to make The Witcher. Congratulations, you just imagined Thorne in a nutshell. A real time RPG with an enjoyable story, and optional side quests if you want to spend a little extra time in the country of Rowen. I look forward to other episodes coming out.

  Thorne - Death Merchants is a game that really stands out amongst most other RPG Maker games on Steam. You can see that some real effort and thought went into character design and a coherent world that reminds me of a grim fantasy setting in the style of The Witcher. Instead of the usual turn-based combat, Thorne features real-time combat that is really neatly implemented within the limits of the engine. Albeit the english translation is a bit clumsy at times (could definitely need a language assistant), Thorne introduces some really interesting characters that make me curious for future episodes. Also, the developer listens to feedback and keeps updating and improving the game, which definitely is a plus.

  Thorne is an interesting idea for an RPG Maker title. It's set in a dark fantasy setting as opposed to your standard anime looking world. In fact, the world feels more like something ripped from a George R.R. Martin book! So, the setting is incredible! Unfortunately, that's where my enjoyment ended! The English version of the game is full of spelling errors! Nearly every paragraph has a few misspelled words. In fact, sometimes it is difficult to understand what exactly the characters are saying. This to me, is a game breaker in an RPG! If a game rips you out of your immersion, so you can try to decode what the characters are saying, then it's NOT a good RPG. A role playing game, should allow you to lose yourself into the fantasy world. This however does not. The controls seem awkward, and even moreso when using a gamepad! The second battle in the game, pits you against 4 enemies. The enemies are easy enough to defeat, but they are on you quickly. They can and do push you all the way to the back entrance of the map. Forcing you to fight them while locked in the corner since the only way out of the entrance passage is up....and up is where they are standing. Overall, the game had potential, and could have been good. It just infuriated me more than entertained me.

  Interesting initially. Rough around the edges. Remember that - this game is rough around the edges. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a six. Engaging story. Nifty mechanics that have been added on. But if you can't handle playing a game that's trying to push it's envelope a bit - that needs polished, but hasn't been, don't play this game.

  A lot of problems make for a poor package. Combat and menu's are extremely clunky. Full screen looks poorly stretched. Natural window is tiny and cannot be resized through convenient means. Writing actually isn't bad what I played of it. Payed a buck. I wish I hadn't but not enough to refund it. I just recommend caution before purchase.
