RPG Time: The Legend of Wright Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Creating an indie game is, in a sense, a question of resources and smart sacrifices. Smaller budgets and scopes define and shape much of the indie sphere. There is only so much one can do with limited resources. Oftentimes, it leads to streamlining, cutting through luxuries and chaff to get to the core concept. On occasion, however, it leads to cutting corners. RPG Time: The Legend of Wright is an instance where the utmost love and care have gone into the design, yet the game still skimps on ...
RPG Time: The Legend of Wright is a unique game. You need to see it in motion to truly appreciate it. Both graphically and setup-wise I’m not sure I’ve played something like it before on an Xbox system.

Doodling during class is a favorite pastime for many students. In RPG Time: The Legend of Wright, players are introduced to the world of Cardbordia and tasked with saving the princess in this pop-up storyboard adventure.
It’s full of charm and unfiltered imagination, but RPG Time’s presentation and vibes bely a rather bare-bones and overly simplistic role-playing game that struggles to hold your attention.
