It has great potential with the leveling up system and the main gameplay, but certain elements prevent it from being great. The difficulty seems too easy and the dialogue is lengthy. It is not worth the money, but if it were $10 or $5 you may want to consider it.

This game would've been good if not for the following reasons: 1.) The bad party AI. Most of the time, your partner and assistant wanders too far off, or is mostly inactive even in attacking range. More often than not, they have to be hit by monsters before they actually attack, and will stay on poison marshes until they die. I was wondering why the monsters' AI was actually good, and the same AI was not used for the player's party members. Also, each member's AI is limited to their nature, i.e., help or act alone. There should have been at least "follow me" and "attack" buttons/commands so as to compromise this fault. 2.) The controls that rely too heavily on the stylus, and render the other buttons limited in function or practically useless. The command palette for example. There are 10 buttons disregarding the select and start buttons. In battle, they simply serve to render you immobile and auto-activate a single skill. Wouldn't it be better if each button corresponded to a palette slot? Pressing a button selects the corresponding slot, while holding down the button will be the equivalent of locking onto that slot. The remaining slots would them be up to the stylus, which would serve purpose for support spells and items. 3.) The highly interruptible skills. Clicking on any slot on the command palette will interrupt any casting. That goes the same for switching characters too.… Expand

Overall a good game. Much like a Diablo-style game where you click using the stylus on the enemies to attack or use potions/skills. Two types of classes: warrior or sorcerer. You can develop your characters with different skills/abilities and by upgrading equipment. The skills are pretty diverse too. For example, within the warrior class you can specialize in axe, sword, or spear abilities. Definitely some problems however. The dungeons get pretty repetitious, the game isn't that hard, and the story is absolutely god awful. There is so much mindless dialogue I found myself cursing the screen, and almost putting the DS down because of it. If you like hack and slashers with decent character upgrades and development, then definitely buy this game. If you can get past the hours (and I do mean hours) of horrible dialogue, you'll enjoy this one.… Expand

Best game for the DS, I've played for a long time. I love the sprite graphics and the story is not too complicated or overwhelming. The learning curve is great and the controls are as simple as they come. The level of difficulty is lovely and you find yourself, from time to time, trying to pass a boss but you have to find the right combination of spells and brute force.. Lovely game.
