It's great for making "Pokemon style" top down RPG's, if that's what you want to make, but as of the latest release you are fairly locked into that style of game.

The tools feel very nice to use, and the developer is still actively adding features. I'm excited to see where it progresses.

The new 2.0 (which is currently in beta), adds support for several new game types, including side scrollers (with parallax), platformers, and point and click. It also has support for ejecting the game engine, so you can easily customize it even further

You mean you can actually code then? Do you know what language the engine is in? Is modifying it difficult?

I have contributed a bit to the 1.0 branch. The engine is written in C utilizing GBDK. It's not hard, but it has a few caveats.
