  Hello friends, Today i will review BEYOND REALITY. This is a rpg maker game. A short RPG with sci-fi in it. I like the sci-fi spin on rpg's and this has it in it. It is hard to find a good rpg with mix of fantasy and rpg. This game does it. I have one major issue about this game though, the game seems too short for a rpg. I am usually more used to longer rpg's, but that is my opinion, still , a decent game. I tried to help the developer fix some bugs i found in the game, so i hope that helps everyone in the future. Anyways, enjoy, for the price i got it at, it is not bad. For a rpg maker game, it is decent. It has less bugs in it than i found in some triple A games.

  This game was SO beautiful. It had a good story (one of the must-have features for a game - at least for me) and likeable characters, but what amazed me the most was the lovely scenery. Everything was designed with such love for detail which, together with the obviously carefully chosen music, added up to an atmosphere I was dragged into in a split second. And since I use the RPG Maker VX Ace myself, I perfectly know just how much work achieving this goal is. To the creators of 'Beyond Reality': you did a really great job there! And I think it's a pity this game is so short... Really, you're awesome.

  At this point we all know Aldorlea Games to be an RPGMaker games publisher with some quality and expectation stored for us. Being EternalShadow Studios' first and only game developed so far, Beyond Reality is a JRPG done right - within the boundaries of RPGMaker nonetheless. This is a short, story driven game with a beautiful setting and an immersive storyline. In this technologically advanced little world, the primary problem is the pollution that has already taken an effect over the climate and rendered a major part of the world uninhabitable. As humanity developed, it also consumed and processed natural resources to a degree that mother earth would eventually give up. While bizarre climate changes worry most of the scientist population drastically, Alpha Omega Company researches the causes and consequences of this natural detriment. The day starts as a usual one in the company headquarters... at least until they receive a visitor from the past, demanding aid from the company crew to prevent a war that may very well spell catastrophe for their timeline! So - a bit involuntarily - the crew is snatched from their proper timeline to change the past; thus, maybe achieving a feat Beyond Reality: changing their own future... The environmentalist message aside, Beyond Reality is a Fantasy JRPG, in which you'll travel into a medieval fantasy world fuelled with magic to manage your party and venture into adventure to discover a conspiracy that would alter the timeline. Story is interesting, but it is genuinely short to speak about a proper world lore. We are given the basics of the geography, the history and the political conflicts since they all are our primary topics, yet we are not given much narrative. Our characters though - not incredibly memorable maybe - are given enough personality to differentiate and enjoy their interactions on the way. The main story is pretty much a railroad with decent destination indicators given, and there are some side quests and areas to explore - mostly with a "go there and kill that boss for me" quest content. Even though not being incredibly deep or anything, the game doesn't outstay its welcome. It presents you an enjoyable 10-12 hours, and you get done with it with a pleasant smile on the face. If we are to speak about environment design, it is surely one of the better examples for the usage of RPGMaker. Maps are designed appropriately, with a decent selection from custom pack items and tiles, resulting in a genuinely enjoyable collage. Soundtrack is fitting: not boring or annoying exactly, even though there'd be a 100th time you'd hear it, especially on the battle interface. It just blends in with the environment to become a part of the setting. As for the gameplay, it is really your basic JRPG. You walk around, explore the area and face head on some combats to gather experience. Characters have their different set of combat skills and it takes some expertise to arrange a party efficiently - especially while playing the game in expert or hard difficulties. Your characters are to be upgraded both by leveling up - there is a level cap of 10 - and proper gear so you can face tougher battles as they come. I think low level cap and limited gear options were proper choices for this game, considering its length in hours. There are achievements - and most of them work properly, yet there are some problems with the completion achievements such as "Boss of All" or "Rare Defeat" currently. Developer has been incredibly attentive to the community, offering his aid for every possible way with kind words, gameplay encouragement and hard work. They are working to correct these achievement bugs, so there is a better chance that this won't be an issue soon. If you feel like going through a short JRPG with a basic story that would take your mind off some casual problems, look no further. Beyond Reality is your game. Update: A patch came out to deal with the achievements issue. Now they all trigger properly. Good gaming!

  Imagine for a moment you live in a world filled with pollution, one that is quickly choking off all life. You work for a company that is trying to fight against this pollution. You have discovered this strange crystal and are conducting experiments upon it. Suddenly, it breaks open, and a refugee from 2000 years before appears. She does... something and you end up in her time, having to help her with her issues. That's the set-up for Beyond Reality. It is an interesting concept, and the gameplay is fun. And you just might change the world.

  Beyond Reality has an intriguing opening, but doesn't really do anything to impress from there. The story set up is cool: an advanced civilization has ruined their world with pollution. You play a female scientist trying to find a solution. Sadly, this whole plot line really isn't developed that much from there. From there, it takes cues from Star Ocean and takes you from a sci-fi world to a fantasy one, where you will be spending most of the rest of the game. Unfortunately, the plot involved in the fantasy world is pretty much by the books. Map design is subpar. There weren't any tilesets I hadn't seen before, and they weren't used in any really interesting ways. The maps aren't ugly, they're just uninspired. There's also a few graphics issues, with halves of trees straight up missing and such. Really just laziness. Even monster sprites on the maps are just the same blue or red orbs. The dungeons are pretty linear with a few puzzles sprinkled here and there. It's serviceable. Dungeons never felt too long or too confusing. The combat is standard RPG Maker stuff. The layout looks like Phantasy Star which is kinda cool. Unfortunately, the combat is very easy and strategy boils down to "use your most powerful attacks and heal every so often." That's it. That will beat every enemy in the game. The hunts are cool and I completed them all, but, again, there's no strategy to beating any of them. The game took me 5 hours to beat, I got 20 of 24 achievements, and I beat the game with my characters at level 9. I've definitely played worse when it comes to RPG Maker, but there's nothing really to write home about here. It's a shame the rest of the game fails to live up to its cool premise. At least it's cheap.

  Beyond Reality is a 3 hour adventure RPG with a great story, challenging battles, and quite a few monsters to beat in side quests. The premise of the story is that you and a group of scientists work for an anti-pollution company, and are pulled back in time by a mage from an ancient government, who is trying to save the world from an evil force. You must work together to fight this evil, before being returned to your own time. The plot is very well told, and has a rich cast of characters, some of whom join your party. The game, however, is painfully short, given the broad scope and careful setup of the story. The world map is quite extensive, and can be explored for a number of monsters which can be killed as side quests. Prompting from the game's characters, however, strongly urges you along the main story sequence. There are a few, but not many, side quests that involve missions other than monster kills. Enemies are visible on the map, and most can be avoided with some skill, but if you get too close, they will rush at you. Battles are sometimes difficult, and it is sometimes necessary to return to your safety zone for a rest after only one or two battles. At the start of the game, you have four party members, while towards the end you have 7 or 8, but must choose which four to use in battle. You are allowed to switch party members during battles, but this is rarely a strategic advantage. There are stores to buy weapons and armour, but unless you go for the side quests, your progress will go much too fast to equip all your characters with all the best stuff, and the game is easy enough to beat without it. Overall, it's a great game, but very short.

  A promising short story involving time hopping spoiled by a disjointed pace, ineffective writing, and a truly dire combat system that retains the shallow depth of a button masher while forcing a cumbersome system befitting of a more complex experience. If you're playing the game expecting a wild narrative twist, please allow me to spare you some time: The twist is that the writing never elevates above "bad" and the combat remains laborious until the bitter end. I was fortunate that I got this on sale, but I'd struggle to recommend it to anyone at any price, simply because it's ultimately not fun nor does it ever become so.
