  1. A great tower defence strategy game that'll certainly get the grey matter going. [Oct 2009, p.86]
  2. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord is, like the other two games with the name of the franchise from Square Enix RPG for WiiWare, one of the best deals of the virtual platform for original games for the Wii. With a perfect interface, excellent graphics and a attractive soundtrack, the game has worked tirelessly to bring, of the best possible form, to players its interesting and innovative proposal of strategy RPG that is its reason for being. The linearity of gameplay can be considered a problem to the game, because, with it, you lose the charm of the open world of My Life as a King. Still, My Life as a Darklord is extremely addictive, and can leave a taste of "want more" - that probably will be satisfied by Square Enix and its policy of launching countless DLCs.

  1. El juego en si es interesante, pero es amargante ver lo poco que se puede lograr sin comprar los DLCs. Además, mas allá de que es un título de las Crystal Chronicles, cuando uno compra un juego llamado "My Life as a Darklord" no espera encontrar felpudos rosados y corazones. Full Review »

    I love the game itself, but I refuse to pony up so much money for any game. I am very offended by Square Enix (The Dark Lords themselves) deciding to use pay content "Expansion" options, things that would traditionally be unlocked within a game. Although I must admit, it ties into the concept of the game nicely. Full Review »
