About the game

This is the classic story of good old Ralph, the legendary hero from RPG Maker VX Ace, on his quest to defeat the diabolical Demon Lord. Ralph has been reduced to Level 1, and must rely on a cast of ladies straight out of the daydreams of the game's creator in order to succeed on his quest!

What players say

I'm honestly shocked how good this game is. A lot of the writing is cheesy but also very personal

The most frustrating but strangely addictive game i've ever played, and the first one i've chased after achievements. Frustrating due to constant game crashes, but addictive because I want to succeed despite this. Kind regards, Diane.

Its just a crapload of grinding, and its boring after the initial dungeons are cleared.
