Heyo! I just got done testing this, and here are my overall thoughts! I've also prepared a Google Doc for you to read my live playtesting notes!
Overall, I think this game needs to figure out what its priorities are. Is this supposed to be a character driven adventure? A political drama? Or is the story just set dressing for an interesting combat system? Currently it doesn’t do anything especially well, and I’m not sure what the game’s big push is, either for players or for the devs. For players, what reason do we have to play a game like this? And for a dev, what aspect of this game makes you dedicated to keep making it? If you can answer those questions, let them guide your decisions to make a more interesting product.
Overall Fun: 1 / 5 - Enormous maps with on-map encounters, a huge tedious maze dungeon, tank but unchallenging enemies, very basic combat, and a lack of intriguing story or characters prevents me from really finding anything fun here. It wasn’t the most painful to get further in, but it was entirely lacking in flavour.
Art/Graphics: 2 / 5 - Mostly inoffensive RTP assets which would get a 3 from me, but the poor mapping and perceived lack of effort in most areas docks a point for me.
UI/Controls: 2 / 5 - Very little effort went into the UI, with default RPG Maker window layouts and text, as well as having to scroll through many menu options as the windows aren’t optimized to accommodate how many options there are. The UI is very sloppy, and the default layouts make it come off as lazy and uninspired.
Sound/Music: 2 / 5 - Mostly, it’s just generic and boring, but a few RTP songs are especially loud and grating. The choice to pitch shift a couple default RPG Maker tracks on its own doesn’t do much to make the game’s auditory identity feel deliberate or meaningful.
Sorry, I know this was a little harsh! I think if you can figure out a more clear direction for the game, you’ll have much more success! Good luck to you, and feel free to ask if you have any questions!
