Premise: | Yet another one of those Japanese games in which you choose a hero who will go on a quest to recover a fabled weapon and defeat the monstrous evil plaguing the land - in this case, a jilted sorceress. |
Impressions: | A nicely done isometric game with plenty of action for all, and the obvious anime influence adds to the flavor. It's a welcome change for bleary-eyed RPGers and dungeon crawlers. |
