President Chainsaw - Tactics Bullethell RPG
Your leader isn't human. Soon, you won't be either.
An alien infiltrator has seized the highest office, and transformed humanity into mindless puppets, green-haired shells that wear familiar faces but serve an otherworldly master. Yesterday's leaders, today's slaves. Tomorrow? That could be you.
You play as Zion, a space academy trainee whose prestigious future crumbles the moment you uncover the truth. But shattered dreams forge the strongest warriors. Together with fellow survivors, you'll wage war against impossible odds to reclaim humanity.
Revolutionary Combat System
Experience our innovative fusion of tactical strategy and bullet-hell intensity. Every strategic decision cascades into explosive real-time combat where positioning matters and reflexes save lives.
Your academy trained you to explore the stars. Now you'll fight to save the planet.
Phase 1: Tactics - Plan your assault on the grid-based battlefield. Position matters—every decision shapes the chaos to come.
Phase 2: Survival - Enemy forces unleash bullet-hell fury. Dodge, weave, and survive the onslaught as projectiles fill the screen.
Phase 3: Strike - Navigate the tactical grid with enhanced power. Your survival earns devastating buffs—use them to tear through puppet forces.
Phase 4: Devastation - Unleash game-changing skills built from your tactical prowess. Transform the battlefield with abilities that blend strategy and spectacle.
Key Features:
- Story-driven campaign following humanity's last free minds
- Unique Tactics Bullethell gameplay that rewards both strategy and skill
- Fight to save a world where trust itself has become dangerous
- Uncover the conspiracy that stole everything and everyone

I believe you meant: President Chainsaw by puppetcat
pretty awesome game! I look forward to what lays ahead ^^
dialogue flows well art style is nice, I really like the cast.
interesting story, and I loved the battle system.
I really liked the characters and story of the game, considered me interested when the full game releases. You did a great job making them feel realized. The battle system I was hesistant about at first but I grew to like it. It's definitely one of better RPG Maker games out there.
Oh hey!!! Thank you for the comment and review.
And it took me some time to realise I playtested your game some years ago.
The battle system and storytelling are being improved though slow as hell.
And I will make sure to inform people on game release in the future.
I got game you playtested published under Aldorlea but it was met with silence. I came to realize that game didn’t align with type of game they published unfortunately. Though my next game will be an RPG, so it might do better when I publish it there.
this game is amazing, so good in fact that I made an itch.io account just to comment here. but it truly is a good and fun game, and I really liked the story. I cant wait for it to be completed, if its not already finished and I just downloaded the demo.
Hello, thank you so much for the comment~~~
Im happy you like the demo.
Currently its being developed at ch4 out of 5. And hopefully I will release a new ch1 demo in this year.
Meanwhile, feel free to join the discord serve or anything~~ And of course a itch.io rating at right top corner would also great help with the exposure of the game.

If you look at it as a game, and not a story with pretty graphics, it's great, because it uses plugins and code that put it above most other games on this engine in technical terms. But if you look at the story and graphics themselves, they are seriously lacking. So, fuck yeah, we need a full game, buddy.
good game.
👍
Thank you so much~~
As a side note, right now I'm working on a reburbished chapter 1 and hopefully update in 2025.
Even though progress is slow as hell lol
Really love this game. Humor and combat system are fun.
Loved this game! I found the combat system to be very enjoyable, and the story has my kinda humor. all in all a great game and I can't wait to see what happens next!
It's absolute RPG Maker brilliant! Every single second of this game worths it. Battle system is ultimate. Dialogs made my day for they are chainsaw-sharp. Story is insane, touching, funny, I mean, I wish it had anime adoptation or so. You are great developer. Thanks a lot for this amazing demo.
This was a fun game!
Thank you so much and I am happy you finished the game!!
Edit:
Also tried to tag you in the twitter post
Fun fact this game is very good
I'm making another comment because I'm playing this game for the second time.
This game is absolutely incredible, and you should most certainly play it, if you are browsing the comments rn.
I am extremely picky with games. The battle, the story, the characters. The environment. Everything is extremely well based and it's always driving your curiousity to want to know more about the game.
Really hyped to be playing it again!
Thank you phoenix~ Hoping to deliver a better version in the near futre~
