After playing and finishing the game after 18 hours here's my review. I never heard of this game until I looked up on a Steam curator of Sege Genesis games and this one caught my eye since I like playing JRPGs. I got it on a sale and the time I put to it was worth it. To begin the story takes place at a time where it's kind of middle age fantasy like setting with advanced technology. You do meet characters like Albert Einstein in the game who gives you a something to comunicate with him but he usually says things that you already know. You start off as a blue haired man named Tim who does a competition and something goes wrong and is banished from his village. When that happens you try to go around the world to prove your innocence. You have 5 party members in the game you meet in the game but you can only have 4 in the game to help you. The 5th party member comes near the end of the game and the 3rd party member is switched with someone else. Not gonna spoil who it is since it will spoil the story. The story isn't that memorable it's pretty cliche and is something you probably seen before in a JRPG so it's nothing special. The visauls in this game do look nice for a game that's in 1996 since it's the year since that playstation 1, Sega Saturn, and Nintendo 64 came out at this time. The music is alright but the music can be annoying when you hear it a bunch of times. There are different enemies in the game but most of them are the same but with different colors. There's enemies you probably seen before like slimes and dragons. Some of them are pretty goofy to me like a zombie like monster with a shotgun. When I first played this game I had no idea on what to do so I looked up a guide on YouTube on where to go and it helped me out a lot in this game. There are different areas in the game you go to like forest, snowy plains, deserts, industiral factories, and so on. Some of the bosses in the game can be tough when you fight them and can take a bit of trial and error but when you level up a lot in the game progress further in the game it gets pretty easy. Some bosses spells can one hit you which is pretty unfair at times also when you get further into the game the spells don't one hit you at all or do that much damage compared to past encounters. You do get exp and money in the game that are pretty useful. Everytime you level up it increase your stats like Health, MP, attack, defense, agility, and so on. For gold you use it to pay for things like for inns, weapons, shields, armor, healmets, and accesories that give different attributes depending on the one your using. You do get items that are useful like potions that heal your health, mp, or both. There are items that can help you fight against monsters but I never used them since I had spells to help me out. There are items that can heal certain things you got like poison, sleep, confusion, and so on. For spells you can either buy them from the store or get them from chest. Some spells in the chest are very useful like one where you get a spell thats much better than cure 2. When you get spells be wary because you can only carry a limited amount of spells so make sure you get rid of the ones you don't use very much. For spells you start off with basic spells to way more advanced spells that are more powerful than the last spells you have. You get spells like fire, ice, stone, cure, spells that increase attributes, spells that get rid of things like poison and many others that affect you, and spells that decrease and affect enemies like poison, slow, and many others. You can talk to people in this game that give you advice on where to go but some are pretty useless like one guy you meet in another town says he will give you advice but just scams you of your 100 gold. The final boss for me was so easy because I leveled up my character all the way up to nearly level 70. When I watched the walktrough the guy highest level in the game was like level 57 compared to mine since I was grinding a certain enemy that gave me a lot of exp for me and I put so much time trying to level up which helped me out a lot in the game and made things easy for me. There are a few things that were annoying like when you fight an enemy and one is near they can come after you after the battle and fight you before you have a chance to fight them. Also when I was done with a certain section I died to a point that I needed a break from the game then came back and got through it. The game does glitch a bit but it rarely happens so it's not a big deal for me. It's nothing game breaking it just makes the graphics not show on battles. Not the best JRPG I played but was pretty worth playing after a while. It kind of reminds me of Breath of Fire 2 on SNES when I played it on the Nintendo 3DS since I finished it before and because of the visuals of the game. I give this game a 6 out of 10. If you want to try it out and play it, get it when it goes on sale. I got for less than 4 euro which is pretty worth it compared to the time I put into it. I hope this review makes you think twice about getting or not getting the game. Thanks for reading my review and I hope you have a good day.
