There are GOOD RPG Maker games out there? Of course, the games on this page are actually pretty good, and made with RPG Maker 2003/XP/VX/MV. Yeah, almost everyone that got their hands on this engine tried to make a video game out of it. And some are GOOD!

Screen Title Description link
.flow .flow .flow is a Yume Nikki fangame, and probably the most famous (along with Yume 2kki). It's everything that Yume Nikki is, but with more focus on disturbing/scary stuff. If you liked the original, this is going to be a nice experience. Check the game out!

The case is quickly dealt with by the police and soon forgotten by the public.


You assume the role of Edward Carnby, a private investigator who is sent to explore the mansion and find a piano in the loft for an antique dealer.

Barkleyshutupandjamg Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa May be one of the the greatest (freeware) RPGs ever made. You play as Charles Barkley, a once-great B-Baller who lives in the dystopian city of Neo New York, who goes on an epic quest to stop a second Ballocaust from the evil organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S. Aided by his son, Hoopz, Balthios, the great grandson of Lebron James, and Cyberdwarf, a dwarf whose skin has been replaced with basketballs, it's up to Charles to come back and SLAM for the fate of mankind. The battle system is turn-based with special action commands that determine the effectiveness of your attacks. The writing is bound to make you laugh and leave you wanting more. CBoyardee is part of the development team, so you know it's good. Its only flaw is that it ends. The game started out being made on RPG Maker 2003, but ended up moving to Game Maker.

A sequel is in the works, but as of 2018 it's been radio silent.

Doraemon Biohazard Doraemon - Nobita no Biohazard Japanese spoof of Resident Evil with Doraemon characters. Nice graphics, well done gun gameplay, great music and sounds, funny lines... still untranslated, though. http://nobihaza.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/doraemon-nobitas-resident-evil-english-release/ Someone has finally translated it Here's a bit of gameplay. Check the game out!
AliceDUTCHIE256 Embric of Wulfhammer's Castle -Deluxe Version A huge 18+ RPG made by Saint Bomber which is mostly yuri. This game is vast with a great many scenes and multiple endings, some which are locked until you get a different ending or get a certain number of endings. Sadly, the CG artstyle isn't very consistent, and there are not a lot of battles. Also, some worthwhile endings can be lost forever, so a walkthrough is recommended. The true ending is a little weird, but is worth seeing after getting all of the other ones. A sequel with an existing demo is in the works, but don't expect it any time soon. Check the game out!
ExilesJourney Exile's Journey For fans of classic JRPGs. The story involves a disgraced knight who attempts to stop a demon invasion led by a dark elf, who is upset over the government's oppression of his people. The game attempts to blend Final Fantasy-esque gameplay with Zelda style dungeons and an epic narrative. This game is known for its excellent mapping, huge environments, epic scale and large amount of content. Check the game out!
ExitFateBattle Exit Fate An RPG made by the creator of "Last Scenario", but far more developed this time. It is heavily inspired by the Suikoden series, allowing you to recruit dozens of playable characters. The battle system is very unlike the traditional RPG Maker battles, and there are also some strategy battles at certain points in the game that are very well made, if somewhat difficult to A-rank. A very good RPG that you should check out if you're a fan of Suikoden. Check the game out!
The fifth era
Fifth Era: Fragments of the Holy Stone Classic JRPG, heavily influenced by Squaresoft's works of its traditional era (FFVI/VIII, above all).

A well-crafted story, many characters to play with and a whole world filled with secondary quests will keep you entertained for about ten hours, a little less focusing just on the main mission. For those familiar with classic rpgs' mechanics, probably a little easy. Some script and dialogues naiveties.
Fifth Era is the first game completed by the Italian RPG creator Lollo Rocket Diver, whose next works will be characterized by a constant increase in quality.

Ghost Party Ghost Party Short game where, as a ghost, you wander around a huge mansion and help other people. It has a nice touch to it and it's overall a sweet game, but it may get repetitive after a while. Check the game out!

Story is "An amboeboid landscape threatens to engulf civilization and all its plastic bottles. Disembodied mouths live in the walls of municipal buildings like household pests. Packs of human-headed dogs rove the lands between formless space and concrete reality. A king bureaucrat who's image is everywhere but his body no-where." Game's huge, with several endings and different playable characters. Check the game out!

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The 7th Stand User An RPG Maker 2000 game based on Part 3 of JJBA. Faithful to the original plot, but with the addition of a personality quiz-defined protagonist, who gains a Stand after a strange dream and is thrust into an adventure that will determine the fate of the Earth. Play your cards right, and the plot will diverge from the original manga, for better or for worse... Check the game out!

Killer Bear Killer Bear A horror game made in 2005 and translated only on May 2013 where you are invited to some bitch's party and shit goes down in mere seconds. Game's pretty cheap and there is nothing worth being afraid of, but the sprites are nice and the different endings makes the ten minutes invested kinda worth. Check the game out!
Lastscenariobattle Last Scenario A quality RPG that starts out with a very clichéd plot, but several twists turn it into a decent story. The magic system consists of equipping spellcards that grant different magics, and there is an interesting card minigame called Hex that is rather fun. Overall a good RPG, if somewhat simple. Check the game out!
Officer Chloe An RPG eroge game by Key'. You play the role of a female police officer recruit, who is trying to distance herself from her sordid past. [2]
Opala Legend of Queen Opala An RPG eroge game. Aside from using the RPG Maker XP basic rtp, the art and the sounds in the game are original, plus the plot is not so bad. Check the game out!

Lisaboxart LISA A highly surreal, deeply disturbing post apocalyptic RPG by a designer known only as Dingaling. LISA is the darkest love letter to Earthbound to date, and includes several traumatizing themes such as child abuse, rape, suicide, torture, and drug addiction, so despite its great humor, fun brutal gameplay, and stellar soundtrack, it's not for the faint of heart. LISA comprises two games: LISA the Painful, and an add on, LISA the Joyful, which picks up right where the first leaves off. Absolutely worth your time and money if you're up for some very harsh realities and a powerful story. Buy LISA: the Painful and LISA: the Joyful on steam! and check out its early predecessor, LISA "The First", for free!
[File:] Malise and the Machine An awesome game with a Punk Rock sort of setting, where you play as 2 girls fighting a plethora of different enemies, everything from robots to tentacle slug creatures. Has 18+ content. [3]
Motwlogo Master of the Wind A Fantasy Superhero RPG, where our heroes Shroud (a masked wind user) and Stoic (a walking skeleton with two swords and a chip on his shoulder) fight to protect their hometown and the world from the evil that is Equipment King, the Wall-Mart of equipment shops. Although the premise sounds silly, it actually has a well thought out story, with plenty of character development. It does became somewhat linear towards the middle of the game, but it's overall a good game. Check the game out!
Middens Middens Surreal game that focuses on both exploration and combat. Both dialogues and graphic makes this game totally worth to play. Check the game out!
Mimicry Man Japanese puzzle game (but translated) where you embody a minion and has to work his way through by trading items. Check the game out!
MisaoScreen1 Misao A Japanese survival horror game made in Wolf RPG Editor (for those who never heard of it, it's pretty much another rpg maker program, but free). A few days after the strange disappearance of a student, your school is transported to the spirit realm and its up to you to find out what happened and why. Great game, a bit short but has some extras to do after the main story and the chance to replay it but using a male character. Some elements of the story are taken directly from Corpse Party, but it's way shorter and way cheaper. Following the success of Misao and Mad Father (another short horror game made by the same author and set in the same universe), a wave of short horror game made in Wolf Editor appeared on the internet, all translated in english by Vgperson. Those includes Mermaid Swamp, Paranoiac and The Crooked Man, and they are all okay-ish if you are looking for simple games with a bit of a story. Check the game out!
MogekoCastleScreen1
Mogeko Castle The first game made by DSP, remade with the RPG Maker VX Engine. During one day, Yonaka Kurai takes the train to home home just like everyday. However this time, it's taking another route, bringing her to a castle full of strange beings. Check this game out!
Moonbound
Moonbound "Moonbound tells the story of Aya and Rudra, a little girl and her wolf pup, fleeing from the haunting invasion of dark spirits from beyond the Veil. Both refugees and exiles, alone in this world, their only hope is to reach the Holy Land. But their long journey has just begun."

A simple adventure/puzzle game made with limited time for a contest, thus only lasting about 1-1.5 hours. The game difficulty is rather simple: you have to venture through your quest with the help of a wolf you can give commands to; he will help you opening doors, catching items and vanquishing enemies.

An overall enjoyable effort that would make you dream with colorful graphics, nice lighting effects, melancholic musics, and of course the moving bond between the main character and her puppy, growing together.

20080106025043 Neftelia You are a blank, nameless pixelated figure. You explore the surreal enviroments to find cinematics to complete your chart for no real reason, though the emphasis is more on exploration itself than finding the cinematics specifically. The game seems to take many cues from LSD Dream Emulator, Yume Nikki and its fangames. It also has an even more out there sequel, aptly named Neftelia 2. Check the game out!
Noradrénaline Noradrénaline Silent hill-ish french rpg maker game. It's completely dead, which is a pity, since it looks kinda interesting. See it here

Parasitic Joker Parasitic Joker Horror game that has yet to be translated. From the gameplay of it, it looks fun enough, but nothing too special. Still, lots of people have lots of free time on their hands and someone should get the job done. Check the game out!
Pen Pals Pen Pals Cheap-looking adventure game that sure looks amateur and trying-too-hard-to-be-deep, but in the end is just a little game that creates a nice atmosphere and it should be taken for what is it. Even though no one probably cares, there's an italian translation of it. Check the game out!
PhantomLegacyTitle Phantom Legacy (Redux) The Sequel to Demon Legacy. A man named Nero; born with strange abilities is brought into a struggle which will change the world. Check the game out!
Ptei2 Pokémon: The Evil Inside 2 Old RPG Maker game that parodies the Pokémon series. Gameplay is going around and shooting Pokémon, but the game is pretty big. Boss battles, lots of different weapons, lots of minigames, cheats and so on. Worth a shot. Check the game out!
Professor-McLogic Professor McLogic Saves The Day Simple puzzle game, randomly generated every time you play. Nothing too special, and kinda cheap, just don't expect nothing like Professor Layton. Check the game out!
Quintessence- The Blighted Venom Quintessence: The Blighted Venom From the makers of To the Moon (Freebird Games), a 11-chapters drama game that was one of the studio's first projects and thus free and long-forgotten.

SeraTitle Seraphic Blue RPG first made in 2004, then was remade in 2006. Has a decent story. The Battle system is pretty straight forward with a few modifications: One can perform stronger versions of attacks and defense by pressing up/down on those commands and Elemental attacks/magic make a field which allow the characters and enemies to use better magic spells. Just be warned, some of the bosses and enemies hit hard early game, and items/equipment only become better as you progress through the story. The game itself has 44 Chapters/Episodes and has a Dictionary which has the summarization of earlier chapters, can define terms spoken by characters throughout the game and points out the next location the player needs to go to if one feels lost or has not played the game in a while. Check the game out!
Shrink high Shrink High A size-fetish themed traditional-style (i.e. a possible shit-ton of grinding if you don't know what you're doing) JRPG about a high-school detective who ends up, well, shrunken (I assume you can read the title of the game) as he investigates a mysterious set of disappearances at a formerly all-girls high school in Japan. The game is extremely difficult in terms of its puzzles, with the optional (and even some of the required) ones being of a higher level of difficulty than LttP's. The combat definitely is NOT something to slack on, either (it *is* an old-school JRPG, after all). The overworld is deceptively large, and there are many secrets and amusing references,easter eggs, secret areas, and CGs to be found. The plot's mileage definitely varies, with some absolutely hating it, some absolutely loving it, and most others thinking it either a serviceable or tolerable enough vehicle to get to the high-quality CGs available in this game. Probably a must-play for all the people out there with a shrinking-size fetish. Some of the basic RPG Maker RTP assets are considered to be a bit bland in terms of their use throughout the game, but keep in mind that the majority of people will play this for the porn and the way the porn is presented more than anything else.

You will need the RPG Maker VX RTP, which can be downloaded here:

Starless-Umbra-2 Starless Umbra In Starless Umbra, you play as Andoru in a quest to attempt to return home to save your sister after bandits raid your village. This simple task complicates itself quickly, as a strange phenomenon leaves you not only away from your village, but with little direction in a completely new continent. Standard rpg game, and surprisingly still on the work (as of February 2013 is still updated frequently after 3 years). Check the game out!
Super-columbine-massacre Super Columbine Massacre RPG Old RPG Maker game that parodies the real-life event of the Super Columbine Massacre. Game's just a basic RPG, but it sure got a lot of popularity and controversy for its satirical commentary. Check the game out!

Tales of banalia title
Tales of Banalia A humorous game, caricature of traditional JRPGs, making fun of their clichés and stereotypes.

Nonetheless, it is extremely well done: graphically appealing, with entertaining characters and dialogues, and a wide world to explore. The overall tone of the main story is light, however it has its twists and it's well written. Lots of secondary quests can increase the longevity up to a dozen hours and maybe more.

The second full game completed by Italian RPG maker Lollo Rocket Diver. In Italian only.

Taut Taut Taut is a german horror game (game's completely translated in english, do not worry) about a girl stuck in her home town, though the streets are empty and everything seems so unfamiliar.

The God of Crawling Eyes Title The God of Crawled Eyes Horror game with a monocromatic, simple style that tells the story of a young colorblind boy which finds himself, in the middle of a school day like any other, into a creepy mess. Rather short, but has 4 different endings and everytime you get one you can play the game again with new unlocks, some of which lets you reach some extras and make the game faster to complete. Also got this close to contain NSFW scenes (spoiler alert). Check the game out!
Theia
Theia – The Crimson Eclipse Theia is an award-winning role-playing videogame, the quintessence of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi J-RPG. It capitalizes on all the elements that made the genre memorable during the 16/32 bit era: a compelling story, plot twists, mini-games, a lot of playable and unlockable characters, collectibles, item crafting, mini-games, different endings, and so on.

It takes about 30 hours to finish the main quest, with up to 10 or more to complete the optional hunts, achievements, and side-quests.

Graphics are beautiful, with colorful locations and dreamy lighting effects. Extremely well-done battle animations and hand-drawn cut-scenes further enrich the gaming experience.

Entirely made by a single person (Lollo Rocket Diver - OnDead Games). It makes use of non-original assets and music borrowed from other games. Free to download and play.

The room box
The Room Horror game revolving around the plot of occult and Satanism. Story follows a guy who has weird things happening in his apartment because some special conditions are met.

Some parts of the game are really creepy and I mean really. Backstory is fucked up(in a scary way) as hell. And yeah it has got pretty scary psychological mindfuck.

In-the-time-machine-over-the-sea-video-game Time machine over the sea A parody of the Neutral Milk Hotel album "In the Airplane Over the Sea".  It also draws inspiration from other popular indie music.  Worth it for the MIDI version of White Winter Hymnal.  WARNING:  Gameplay is horribly unbalanced.

Careful planning will assure your survival. Download link may be subject to change due to the game being a contest entry. Check it out!
To the moon To The Moon Great game about an old man who's dying and his last desire is to go to the moon. The original soundtrack is pure gold and the story is the best story you'll ever read in a video game: be ready to cry like a little girl. Game's 12$ on the website (the soundtrack is $5 and half of the proceeds go to charity for autism), but also on GOG and Steam (along with translations in other languages). Prequel in the works under the name A Bird Story, which should also open up to the eventual proper sequel and a small spin off here. Check the game out!
Touhoumother Touhou Mother Homages several games, but concentrates on the Touhou and Earthbound crossover. References aside, it's a fun, solid story (a bit back-knowledge helps though). Although made in RPG Maker 2000, the designer, "S", replicated Earthbound's battles and effects quite well. For the masochist in you, there's even multiple difficulty levels to take on! Unsurprisingly, it garnered enough love for S to make a sequel. This game really knows how to push RPG Maker to the limit, an outdated one even!

The sequel is complete and can be found here.

English version
TALBanner Touhou A Live A Touhou and Live A Live crossover, many references from Live A Live, and some other games are in it, it also uses the same battle system as the original game, it even uses the same scenario system from the original as well. The person who translated Touhou Mother also worked on translating this (which is vgperson, as usual). English version

Old school, Game Boy inspired action game, which looks like Zelda but plays not like it. A mix of adventure/exploration, puzzle and stealth, where you are unarmed and die with just a single touch from enemies or traps. Very well made and rewarding if you are able to keep up with the challenging difficulty level.
Made by the Italian developer Kibou Entertainment, available in English.

Turovero the celestial tower recommended
Turovero: The Celestial Tower A freeware dark fantasy Role-Playing Game: Four brave adventurers have taken it upon themselves to make the perilous climb to oust the Dark One and return hope to the world.

This game might look at first as a traditional dungeon crawler, filled with random encounters and a stereotypical story but later reveals several key plot twists. Each of the protagonists is haunted by some past trauma; climbing the Tower will result in an actual voyage within themselves to unmask a hidden truth.

A game that could have easily been commercial due to the excellent work done in the hand-drawn scenes and composing the original, moving, musical score.

Highly recommended to any RPG fan.
