It's not a great game, but Eternal Poison is a game that I have no major complaints about.
And when a game’s biggest problem is that it left us wanting more, we’d say that’s a good problem to have.
I don't think Eternal Poison is trying to be a ground-breaking strategy role-playing game. I think the developers were aiming for stylistic and different, and they've definitely succeeded at that.
But in the end, if you’ve ever played a strat/RPG, you won’t be surprised by what you find in Eternal Poison.
The gothic-anime art direction and voice acting are impressively well-done, and although the painfully long load times hinder the general flow of the game-play, the overall game-play, soundtrack, voice acting, and art direction makes up for the technical deficiencies.
In the end, did Eternal Poison frustrate me countless times? Absolutely. Does it include inexcusable, easily fixable design flaws? Certainly. But its haunting style and twisted atmosphere also inspired emotions that'll stick with me for a long time to come -- and that's precisely why we play games, isn't it?
Even the potential gothic charm of Thage is lost in a sea of confusing menus, uninspired combat, awkward interfaces and plain ol' poor choices.
