The Alliance Alive is one of the best examples of bringing old school RPG design to modern platforms. With an interesting story, charismatic characters and a deep battle system that requires strategy, The Alliance Alive is one of the biggest surprises for the 3DS and possibly one of the best RPGs of the year.
Even if you hated Legend of Legacy (you monster!), The Alliance Alive is still worth a look. The story is interesting, the battle system is complex, fun and bizarre and the overall package is a polished adventure that will keep you playing until the very end. The 3DS may be on its way out, but hopefully this isn't one of those late-in-life games that gets overlooked for year until people realize how good it really was. Check it out.

The Alliance Alive is a good game that's held back by some unfortunate missteps. Its fantastic premise and strong narrative provide a storyline that feels surprisingly fresh compared to other JRPGs, while its combat provides some welcome depth to its turn-based gameplay. The title often feels too easy, even by JRPG standards, and several features could have been better fleshed out, but the overall product is a stark improvement over studio Cattle Call's previous effort.
The Alliance Alive is a straightforward and fun JRPG with enough to keep the player invested throughout its story, but it could use some work on difficulty balancing and the inclusion of voice over.
The Alliance Alive is a successful effort at justifying why the 3DS is still relevant. Thanks to its wide and varied world, well implemented sense of progression, in-depth combat system and rich visual component, this is an RPG that should feature in a great number of 3DS systems, even as the console is past its prime.
RPG superfans who are craving something different, who absolutely need a 3DS game, and who have not played February’s much better 3DS RPG, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, will find a thing or two to like about The Alliance Alive. Cattle Call moved a bit closer to greatness with The Alliance Alive, but they are still not quite there as one of the 3DS’s last RPGs falls short.
For all the ways The Alliance Alive seems like a pleasant throwback RPG early on, it features too many frustrating design decisions and gameplay systems that have little impact until the endgame. It all adds up to a game experience that elicited very little satisfaction, ending with a variety of negative emotions and an unpleasant lasting taste.
It is really great RPG. I like combat without levels and art/talents system. The game has a balanced level of difficulty which is rare in JRPG. I finished game in 30 hours and I never got bored. It is worth mentioning that the music and story are great. The creators did a great job.
I recommend the game to everyone!

I played about 20 hours into the game so I believe that is more than enough time to state my opinion of the game.
For a game that as similar art style as Legend of Legacy I felt as if I was going to get a similar experience in Alliance Alive. To my surprise, I was amazed by the face at how well the story was handled ( so far), I was surprised it even had a story so that is a plus, and what I like the most is exploration rewards; ( Finding Chaos Gems/ Guild spots/Order Gems/) and you have to use things like a glider for an example to get to some of these, it's like the world map has purpose.
Music is on par with Legend of Legacy which is awesome. Difficulty has been fine, but it starting to get harder from what appears to be the halfway point in the game.
Combat is the same as LoL, but at least you get money every fight instead of nothing xD.
Anyways, I highly recommend this game, and if you are on the fence because of the first game (Legend of Legacy) then have no fear as this game does a lot of things right.

The game was fun for a while. At around 45 % of the game, it stuck you in a succession of events with very poor saving options, and an impossible boss in the end. So you are in for grinding, because the game has virtually no balance in terms of difficulty. And it's hard to find a proper area for grinding too. So, the story, the mechanics works pretty well. The combat systems is a good turn base. I give 63%. Good at first, extremely bad midway.

Summary The makers of The Legend of Legacy bring the classic JRPG back to form in The Alliance Alive, a new adventure that evokes the nostalgia of the JRPG greats by offering huge world-exploration, an intertwining story of 9 protagonists, and well-designed battle mechanics. One thousand years ago, Daemons invaded the world of Humans. They subju...
