Looking at the GitHub issues and reviews for the Android version, there is a common pattern with users being unaware of the engine limitations of the EasyRPG Player.

It might be helpful, if EasyRPG could detect some of the common engine types and explicitly show them in the game browser as unsupported, and maybe even suggest alternatives in some cases.

Some of the commonly seen engines to consider:
