Action Game Maker review
A focused 2D action-game toolkit with visual scripting, GDScript, and multi-platform export.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Action Game Maker is a Windows desktop game-development toolkit for creating 2D action games such as platformers, metroidvanias, shooters, and puzzles. Its node-based visual scripting is designed for people without programming experience, while GDScript support provides a path to more advanced customization. The workflow is based on Godot Engine 4.3 and includes tile-map editing, auto-tiling, sprite and 2D bone animation, scene transitions, and database tools.
Pricing is straightforward: the product is sold through one Action Game Maker plan. The listed regular price is ¥10,900, and the listed sale price is ¥6,540. There is no free plan. That paid package includes the Windows desktop toolkit, visual scripting, GDScript support, and the 2D development pipeline. The included character, tile, music, and sound assets can help support a project’s initial content needs, while the runtime license is royalty-free.
Its main strength is focused 2D production rather than broad engine coverage. Dynamic lighting, shadows, particles, shaders, animation systems, and auto-tiling cover important needs for action-oriented 2D games. Export targets include Windows, HTML5 web, and Android, giving finished projects several distribution options. Choose Action Game Maker if you want a Godot-based, node-oriented workflow for 2D action games with optional scripting depth. Choose another tool if your project requires 3D development or a free entry plan.
