The difficulty you can take on a case by case basis. It'll be a detraction for some and positive for others. In the sea ofRPGs on the DS, SRT does a good job standing out.
One of my favourite DS RPG's, Endless Frontier harkens back to more old school JRPG's, paired with solid spritework, a creative battle system, an amazing soundtrack, and very witty writing. The cast is pretty likeable, and it's a fun game to play on the go.
The story is very interesting and the characters are charismatic.
Battles are very fun but they suffer from two problems. First, you have to keep the enemy in the air most of the time, so it's not a natural battle. It's like playing with a Second, the game seems to have suffered from low budget because you fight with the same bosses over and over. Looks like the developers were looking to cut costs and have recycled many battles. Apart of these two things, the battles are really amazing with very well made hand draw animations and mechanics.
Graphics remind of the 16 bits era, so if you play since that time you may feel nostalgic.
There's also a lot of sexual references and focus on the females' breasts.
If you're fan of JRPGs there's no doubt that you should play this game. If you can still find it on stores...
If you take yourself and your RPGs too seriously, then chances are you’re not going to get much out of this game. If, however, you just want to hang out with a bunch of hot anime chicks and kick some butt on the way to nowhere, Endless Frontier is your game.
Though there are a lot of negatives to be said about Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier, there is a weird hypnotic enjoyment to the battle system that made enduring the overly-complicated, fanservice-filled story a bit easier.
So the story is so-so and the characters are a bit over-the-top, and the levels are a bit dull, and there aren’t really that many “Super” robots, and the ones that are there are a bit less than super, but whatever.
This game is one that I've always wanted to play and now that I have, I can safely say that this is a great game. The gameplay is really solid, the soundtrack is great, and I really like the soundtrack. Overall great game and hidden gem on the DS.
Compelling, witty dialogue and a spectacular yet intricate battle system elevate Endless Frontier above mediocrity.
Let me briefly explain the battle system. You queue up a list of five attacks, select an enemy and hit the A button to initiate the first, which will launch the enemy skyward. When the attack animation winds down, tap A once more to begin the second queued attack move to continue juggling the enemy. The general aim is to keep the enemy in the air, as the more successive hits, the greater likelihood of landing criticals, and it prevents the enemy from prematurely ending your turn by evading.
Sounds simple, and at first it is, the draw being the incredible over-the-top animations and manoeuvres on display. Later, however, as you learn more abilities to queue, discover different enemies have different weights (thus require varying timing to successfully juggle) and become skilled with using cancels, support moves, character switching and super-charged "overdrive" skills, it'll absorb you with its depth, and still continue to wow you with its audacious sprite work and animation.
Bandai-Namco have also enlisted the talent of some smart translators, too. The sometimes lengthy dialogue sections are never rendered dull thanks to charming, funny writing that lends real colour to your party and the people they meet (and invariably fight) along their journey.
The other major facets of the game bring it down a little; travelling holds little of interest and looks damn ugly, too. Towns are dotted among the landscape, but they consist of a static background and a menu that allows you to select the shop or the inn.
Its good that these components take up the minority of your time with the game, then, as Endless Frontier's highs are so very soaring. I'd recommend this to anyone with a DS, JRPG fan or not.
Old school RPG that's a bit of a case of style over substance, but its good looks and sense of humour make up for its slight lack of sophistication. If you can look past the casual sexism it's pretty good fun.
