Storyline
Featured review
It's a bit of a slow starter, but don't worry...it gets much worse!
I enjoy role playing video games a lot, so whenever I see one I buy it. 99 out of 100 times I end up enjoying said game a lot. Sure, there are some that are a bit boring, that drag too much or over stay their welcome and I can honestly say this one does all three! Never have I wanted to be done playing a game more than this one as it started out slow, but it showed promise. Just enough promise to keep me playing longer than the other reviewer who was dead on about many of his or her points about this game. As the game goes it drags more, you finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and realize your weapons suck and that the last dungeon offers you more torture than you can endure. Then you look up a guide and to your horror, the game continues on even if you do clear said dungeon as if a sick and twisted joke. I gave this one a four, because it does tease you into thinking that maybe you have a nice game that may not be one of the best games you've played, but it will buck the trend and be on the short side. Well it is a lie, it keeps going and going I tried my best to win this thing and I finally conceded defeat...the game beat me down with its monotonous dungeons, its painfully boring cut scenes and characters and the book from hell that you have to flip through constantly!
The story gives you the choice to choose between and male or female character with the main difference between the two being the fact this game also is a bit of a dating simulation! Yes, you get to find a significant other and it amazes me how many females seemed to go crazy over some of the characters when I was looking up guides for this thing so I could get done faster (all the guides were horrible in that they didn't tell one anything!). You get a book and are charged with recording the world in said book so that you can recreate the world and this is another thing that kept me going as they occasionally ask you how you want your world to be and I was curious to see how warped and twisted my world was shaping up to be! There is an evil prince or something and a demon lord and all this just wasn't interesting thanks to the protagonist who doesn't say much.
The game play has you battling with various weapons you have to create and it is tedious to the max switching through your weapons, armor and any other thing you must use. You can use your book of prophecy to hit the enemies and make them weaker, one of the actually interesting parts of this tedious bore-a-thon. You have to traverse various dungeons which are also tedious and timed and annoying. Let me just say that you will learn to hate these dungeons and the phrases "Flip all the switches" and "Destroy all the enemies" a whole lot.
Oftentimes one of these obscure role playing games are very fun. This one is brought to us by the same people who created the Wild Arms series and all the ones of those games I played I enjoyed immensely. Makes me wish they had brought that series to the DS rather than inflicting this drudgery upon us. I realize what they were trying to do as they wanted something different and customizable, but they simply did not create a fun game at all. It showed hints of promise, but it felt like an eternity playing it and I could not make it all the way through. Conversely, I am playing another game that I have logged over 100 hours of play time and it does not feel its length. This one you are going to feel every second of it!
