“跟EpicBattleFantasy一样是个人开发、跳出但又没有完全跳出形式条条框框的有趣尝试。EBF侧重在叙事中展露游离状态,玩法依然抱紧JRPG优秀传统;本作则是不顾语境地解构传统JRPG的内容与形式,如同沙雕网友诡辩般地畅想演出和玩法的可能性——“我”在摆弄的是可交互的数字小舞台。因为是独游是个人开发,所以有很多放飞自我疯狂扯淡的欢乐环节,同时也因为这一点,内容量有些跟不上形式的潇洒。”

Reviews

“Video Game Fables is this decade’s most boldly intelligent, exhilaratingly enjoyable and ingeniously innovative RPG…I simply cannot stress just how important this game is.”
10 / 10 – GameCrater

“If you’re looking for an amusing, lighthearted RPG with fast, innovative, hard, turn-based combat set in a creative, colourful environment where you can explore to satisfy your paper Mario craving, I highly recommend Video Game Fables. This game embodies everything I look for in a video game. Congratulations to that one developer for generating such a great work of art.”
8 / 10 – Hardcore Gamers Unified

“Video Game Fables is a very fun meta-narrative RPG that can offer some lighthearted adventure, while also keeping you on your toes with an active battle system. While unfortunately short, it is worth experiencing this game’s unique take on the genre, both in its story and the gameplay mechanics.”
8 / 10 – EIP

About This Game



"Video Game Fables" is a funny, lighthearted RPG adventure set in an abandoned game world that hasn't had a player in decades.

The world's script gets completely ruined by someone calling herself "The Forsaken Princess." It's up to Aru (the world's princess), Nate (an NPC aspiring to be a hero), and Tator (the villain's son) to get things back to normal...or maybe change everything forever.

  • Lighthearted humor throughout the dialog, characters, and world.
  • Fun narrative and story that doesn't rely on parody and has its own identity.
  • Challenging, fast-paced, turn-based battles that require strategy and quick thinking.
  • Twists on turn-based combat such as the CRIT system which lets you store a CRIT and use on a later turn.
  • Insane boss fights that break the battle system.
  • Unique XP and leveling system which lets you allocate resources to setup your party strategically.
  • Skill crafting, light class system that changes play styles slightly depending on equipped weapon, weapon upgrades, mining, fishing, simple gardening, and many more fun features.

Original music by Levc EGM.
