    Nothing else like this game! Real-time strategy mixed with a menu-driven RPG...excellent!

    Another world beater. In terms of old school versus no school, Growlanser holds a winning hand and that is why it scores so high. The fact that you also get two games in one box adds extra credit here and both of these great games will take you many hours to beat. Atlus has spilled some really nice beans here. But the fact that Atlus opted out for the CD versions instead of one DVD with a nice game selection menu instead is crap. Expand

    Outtakes were hilarious, well-known character voicies revisited from games like Lunar2: Eternal Blue. Fluid storyline. Unique battle system. All-in-all, a game worthy of having in your collection.

  1. Hours of deep strategic gameplay, excellent music and interesting stories (particularly in "The Dual Darkness' chapter of the saga) make Growlanser Generations a keeper for RPG strategists in need of a noggin-shaking fix.
  2. Though some new-school players will balk at the slight sluggishness afforded to 2D titles or the occasionally bland graphics, the game's outstanding characters make up for it. [Jan 2005, p.74]
  3. If you're the kind of player that likes to spend only a few hours a week playing one particular game, Growlanser Generations could last you a year. It's a big package, well worth the price.
