- Discontinued The project seems no longer developed. Latest commit dates back June 2017 and latest pre-release, 0.9.8, on December 31, 2015. It can be still downloaded from GitHub.
- The battles, a core component of RPG-s are hard to customise in this one. You can't change the perspective to front-view and you can't alter the ammount of seconds a player has to make his/her move. And even if these are changeable, there are no tutorials for it on the internet. Guest • Sep 2019

- not user friendly, need knowledge of computer scripting for even the most basic use of godot Guest • Jun 2019 • 1 agrees and 2 disagrees
- RPG maker is an easy to use software that doesn't require any proper coding to produce a full game. although you can use programming if you want to for more intricate or complex features. Godot however, to my knowledge, isn't as code-free as RPG. Not a good alternitive if you're in it for the code-free experience. Guest • Jul 2019 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees
- It seems more of a kid-friendly alternative. Plus, it is licensed by MIT. Guest • Jun 2019 • 0 agrees and 7 disagrees
- RPG Maker is a 2D GUI for making RPG games. Godot is "just" a game engine. It's not intuitive, not easy and you need programming skills for that. Guest • Jan 2019 • 9 agrees and 6 disagrees
