This is another game from Warfare published by Aldorlea that (like Midnight's Blessing) takes a bit of time to get into. And, like MB, the payoff for patience is very rewarding. The game is deep in character development and story. You begin the game seeing a young girl (Kismet) being shipped off by her family to work as a maid for a well to do man in another town, then the tale picks up 6 years later. At that time, …

This game centers around Kismet, a girl who has been sold into indentured servitude. One day, as she heads to the market to fetch the material for her master's dinner, she stumbles into a great adventure. You know, save the world and all. Characters are vibrant, the plot interesting, and gameplay is... RPGMaker, so decent. Worth a try.

I can't recommend this game which is making me sad since this publisher has not yet brought out a game ( before this one ) I haven't enjoyed least to an extend. Let me state few things I found based on first hour of play, that will sadly be my last hour of play considering this game shows no promise. - Texture problems, terrain that is literally 3 blocks away passable is impassable in other spot. - Typoes and …

RPG Maker strikes again! Freedom Cry is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel JRPG ripoffs spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club weeaboo fan …

35% of the 26 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Freedom Cry. The complaint that keeps coming up: numerous bugs including pathing and terrain issues. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

60 of 90 · most liked firstYou can tell nobody has ever played Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry because what do you mean the game where you play as an ex-slave freeing other slaves in the carribean uses black people as an upgrade resource so they're just collectibles and I'm only finding this out now. Holy shit dude

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PROS: It was on sale? CONS: I still had to pay for it... Seriously: The story makes little sense. The characters make even less sense. There is way too much dialogue that mentions things from the real world (as jokes) but takes away from the game rather than adding to it. The 'pathing' is annoying at best with some stairs being unusable for no apparent reason, the ability to skip large sections of maps because you can just walk out of bounds, walls that you can walk into just because the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There was a game called AC: Freedom Cry, it was a spin-off of AC: Black Flag that was as cool of a game conceptually as I've played. I wish Ubisoft had fully developed it. They managed to pull very few punches without engaging in sensationalizing Black bondage. This was all before Woke of course.
positive · AI labelView post →Random side note re AC Black Flag Resync I wish they also put a spotlight on the Freedom Cry DLC, because I thought it was a great way to utilise the game format to make a pointed statement. But hey, hope people like their nostalgia.
positive · AI labelView post →I checked the earlier reviews, and the pathing and terrain issues have been talked about quite a bit. The way you can walk into some walls, walk out of bounds in many areas, that weird one-way bridge. Not to mention there are a number of rooms(usually off to the side) that you might miss altogether if you're not paying careful attention, and the occasional doorway that throws up a message(in Portuguese? Spanish?) when you try to enter it. It's just weird and makes everything feel incomplete,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ubisoft used to be really good at this by largely reusing the same overall landscape for a smaller, more focused game with a spin on what came before. (AC Rogue and Freedom Cry; Far Cry: Primal and New Dawn)
neutral · AI labelView post →Ubisoft cancelling a game for being too mean to the Klan is sort of unfortunately par for the course Liberation and Freedom Cry, the only two AC games focused on slavery and race at all were relegated to expansions so we could watch a welsh pirate be sad his abused wife left

neutral · AI labelView post →You really never know what you're going to get with Assassin's Creed. It's such an up and down series. Generally you get great characterization and story, but you never know if the game will be incredibly inspired or total ass. Aside from aforementioned, I liked Syndicate, Valhalla and Freedom Cry.
positive · AI labelView post →its a little bit crazy idk how to say u will see if u play it but all in all i would say its a good game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great Quest., I had hours of fun playing this game until the end when it said "To Be Continued", because I just wanted to keep playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't wait to play that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake. And by can't wait I mean will wait until it's like $30 on sale. But it looks very good, I just wonder why they didn't take the opportunity to incorporate the Freedom Cry DLC content into the game.
neutral · AI labelView post →Very disappointing - I was hoping that all the glitches had been fixed before this game was released on Steam but apparently not. The dialogue has no spark, the story telling is boring and game is extremely slow- paced. There is no dash button to use as in other games. Some of the side quest do not activate, some do not show up in the mission log and some are still shown even after they have been done. Very frustrating. Glitches very noticable are the fact you can walk through walls, over…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AC IV resynced added new forms of micro transactions that weren't in the original game but removed the multiplayer, the modern day sections where you get to explore abstergo, and the Freedom Cry DLC.
neutral · AI labelView post →So I think they made some bullshit statement iirc about “the current landscape” but the decision to drop Freedom Cry from the remake was very intentional, they did add in the smaller dlc from the og game and a new story about Blackbeard. Which sucks cuz like the devs COOKED back then.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm loving the gameplay of the Freedom Cry DLC so far!! I wondered in the main game why the slaves didn't flee the plantation after you killed all their bosses, and now you can actually free them!! #mlp #furry ❤️ youtube.com/live/O29Td2i... 💜 www.twitch.tv/passionateab...
positive · AI labelView post →I would say black flag is great if all you do is explore(some restrictions in how soon you can start because old school AC game) and if you want a narrative that actually works in that exploration setting try the Freedom Cry DLC
positive · AI labelView post →Tags: Topdown - RPGMaker & PartyRPG Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Worldmap and Portrait art are okay but ill fitting for the genre. Scripts misfire. Towns are empty. Writing is forced and uneven. Overall plot is disjointed. Gameplay is amateur. Long story short this is a very bottom tier RPGMaker game in which you are a handmaiden improvised adventurer. The circumstances dont call for it at all. Most of the towns are empty. Simple taks like very easy quests…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did not like the game because there are so much bugs. Always stuck in a place..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wait so Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced doesn't include Freedom Cry? That DLC was fantastic though It is hard not to feel cynical about why it wasn't included, especially with it directly addressing the slave trade. Same reason why they scrapped an American Civil War themed game. Cowardly
positive · AI labelView post →like I'm sure the game still has some engagement...but removing Freedom Cry bc you want the game to be "light"? the fucking cowardice of this studio
positive · AI labelView post →Freedom Cry DLC for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has players freeing Hatian slaves from plantations. This canceled idea wouldn't even be the first time a game like this was released by Ubisoft. It's just that they chickened out this time cause of Trump and his cult.

neutral · AI labelView post →Oooh, thanks! They're only doing the base game? That's unfortunate. I'm reading Freedom Cry was large enough that they released a standalone, so... I can understand it, I guess.
neutral · AI labelView post →What would’ve been the icing on the cake if they put a remaster of Freedom Cry too, because that’s just as much of an important game.
positive · AI labelView post →As pointed out elsewhere, they cancelled the Civil War game and are NOT including the Freedom Cry DLC for Black Flag Resynced. That tells you everything you need to know.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced reveal. Definitely looks very good in motion, the Caribbean History buff in me appreciates the lore, and it is still the best AC game. The modern Abstergo sections being removed and also Freedom Cry being strangely absent are quite a bummer though.
positive · AI labelView post →Idk, the Freedom Cry DLC was a pretty dope game and we got to burn down plantations, kill overseers and free slaves.
positive · AI labelView post →Still chugging through this. AssRev didn't want to play nice on steam deck (as in I'm not fucking going to delete files on this fucking thing to make it work) and apparently a recent update fucked the game up too.

positive · AI labelView post →They also conveniently decided to cut the Freedom Cry DLC for Black Flag which also just happens to involve a former slave freeing other slaves. I would totally buy their explanation that they just wanna focus on Edward's story if it wasn't for the aforementioned Civil War game being canned.
neutral · AI labelView post →Multiplayer I can sort of get but why not bundle in Freedom Cry? Or are the themes of freeing slaves from Europeans too political for these times?
neutral · AI labelView post →Didn't realise I never played the DLC campaign Freedom Cry and the season pass is currently on sale for about $5 so why not, after this it's checking out Assassin's Creed Rogue (the 7th gen game made the same time as Unity, and I'm told far better than Unity) then I'm not sure, we'll see
neutral · AI labelView post →Who gives a shit if 1/3rd of the country gets mad over a freed slave protagonist in a post-Civil War era I sure as hell would love playing that game, especially since I hadn't played AC for a while Hell, there was that Freedom Cry DLC I played for AC 4 where you kill the slaveowners
positive · AI labelView post →Didn’t they already do a similar idea in the DLC for 4? I remember playing “Freedom Cry” and thinking it would be neat as a full game.
positive · AI labelView post →Just finished playing Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry. It's nice to have a smaller game (I know it's also a former DLC of Black Flag) even though I recently played Liberation HD which was also a smaller AC game. Same as all AC games I played I never feel completely in control movement wise.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of everyone's favorites of this series, BLACK FLAG, features a freed slave named Adewale who is Edward Kenway's quartermaster & conscience until he joins the Assassin's himself and stars in the game's featured DLC - "Freedom Cry." But that game released pre-GamerGate, so it "doesn't count."
neutral · AI labelView post →The gameplay wasn't as good as the later games but I enjoyed learning about syphilis. Think I preferred Freedom Cry to the main game even though it was so brief.
positive · AI labelView post →Playing AC Freedom Cry now. Reminds me that the worst mission in Rogue is hunting down Adewale. You spend one whole game with the guy as your quartermaster, and then you run around the Caribbean freeing slaves as him in this. Shay even feels guilty and admits that he's a great guy.

neutral · AI labelView post →I only heard about this game because I crafted a badge and got a coupon for it, and I only bought the game because it was ridiculously cheap at that point and had cards. It feels like an old Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior (yeah I said Warrior, not Quest, I'm old and know its original name) from NES. There are a few glaring typos, but otherwise it seems okay, and I'm an hour in.
