Give your elemental monuments a makeover with the KR Elemental Statues pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4085330/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Elemental_Statues/

Kokoro Reflections is here with a collection of MV/MZ-sized tiles with one specific idea in mind: making every elemental statue look amazing! With 12 elements and male and female statues to choose from, you can quickly fill your game with incredible statues for your heroes to visit. Locate the Fire God’s statue deep in a volcano to ask her to stop the flowing lava, visit the nature statue deep in the forest to level up your farming skills, rewind part of the game by visiting the Time Goddess’ statue, and more with this pack!

Lightning, fire, earth, water, wind, dark, ice, light, stars, metal, nature, and time all get their own unique stone statues, with a fitting colorful orb worked into the design. Each statue comes in two sizes, so you can have small dark statues with their skulls and devil-winged gods decorate the hallways to the dungeon’s main room, where a large 4-tile tall statue sits waiting for your heroes to touch it. Or use the smaller statues as switches to unlock doors by switching between a statue with a plain orb and one with a glowing orb.

Each statue also comes in a textured version so that you can be sure it fits your game. Use the textured stone to better match the surrounding tiles, or give your heroes the option to restore an ancient textured statue to its gleaming clean glory and receive a bonus buff for their troubles! This pack also includes a B sheet filled with just the orb images to give you even more freedom. Have your heroes collect a number of small orbs to unlock the related statue’s true power, and create intriguing puzzles where your heroes need to cycle through the different orbs to activate special buffs or paths. If you’ve been wanting to add some more detailed statues to your game, then pick up the KR Elemental Statues pack!
