Another serviceable entry by the KEMCO team. Dragon Lapis is a straight-foward retro JRPG. Pros: The job system is well-implemented with growth plates giving you real control over how each character develops, making progression satisfying. There are two sorts of in game currency, gold and lapis. Lapis gives you the option to purchase items that significantly increase your power, if you so choose. Cons: Other than the job system, there isn't a lot of depth here, which is unfortunate because the job system would support it. For example, monsters mostly lack strengths, weaknesses, or immunity. There are no found items outside treasure chests - which seemed like an obvious mechanic for thieves and merchants. No crafting to speak of. The game is also quite easy, even on hard mode. Recommendations: Get it on sale. Its plays well enough it can hook you, which says a lot more than many throw-back JRPGs, so it is worth buying. Play it on hard mode and stay out of the lapis store if you want a meaningful challenge (doing this will force you to spend skill points carefully as they're otherwise slow to earn). Edit: Changing to not recommend. There is endgame content that makes lapis store purchases effectively necessary for completion. Lapis is earned in game, not purchased so its not pay-to-win, at least not with real-world currency. Overall, this game just isn't balanced very well. The main game is way too easy relative to the progression system - the developers really need to start paying more attention to this as it doesn't do justice to otherwise solid work. Unfortunately, this is EXE-Creates MO - they have some good ideas, but don't take the time to flesh any of them out. Would be curious to see what the team could do if given the time to really complete one of their games. This game has an inspired job system, for a throw-back JRPG, that is begging for a more complete game to be built around it. But that's about it.

某有名ゲーのスフィア盤のような、だけど使い捨ての成長盤で育てていくシステムは、プレイ前はどうなんだろうと思っていました。ですが、実際にプレイすると、どんどん埋めていく楽しみがありました。 モブには成長盤は貴重と言われますが、むしろ選別する必要があるくらい落とすので、どれを残すのか悩んだりもします。ジョブ用と武器スキルがあるし、1戦闘で数種類も手に入るので、中盤くらいまで進むと、持ちきれなくなるんですよねー。 3〇S版を楽しんだので、じっくりやり込みたくなりましたが、修理対応も終わってるゲーム機より、安心出来るこっちでやり込む方が良いなと思い、買い直してます。 PCの綺麗な画面でプレイ出来るのはいいんですが、道具を買う時に3D〇版にはあった10個単位で数を増減する機能が無かったり、成長版の全開放は3〇S版では足りないマナ数を教えてくれたのに、こっちはただ足りないしか言わないとか、地味に劣化している部分があるのが残念です。遊べない機種を無くすというケムコさんの心意気は、嬉しいものなんですが、同じ出来にして欲しかったです。 セーブ数が5から10になってたり、成長盤の持てる数が増えてっるぼいのは有り難いです。
Excellent sequel! Expanded and improved in nearly every way over Dragon Sinker. This series has won my heart, and deserves attention from any classic JRPG fan.
Dragon Lapis gehört definitiv zu den besten Rollenspielen, die Kemco bisher veröffentlicht hat. Die interessante und spannende Handlung, der höchstens der gelegentlich fehlende Tiefgang vorgeworfen werden kann, führt den Spieler durch ein Abenteuer, in dem es praktisch keinen Leerlauf gibt. So entwickelt sich nach wenigen Spielminuten bereits ein Spielfluss, der es darauf abzielt, die Charaktere immer weiter zu verbessern und dies gelingt dem Titel ohne ausufernde oder gar zu häufige Zufallskämpfe. Es ist ein ausgewogenes Spiel, das sich aber nicht nur an Einsteiger richtet. Wem die Kämpfe in den meisten Rollenspielen zu einfach sind, kann bei Dragon Lapis vor Spielstart auch einfach den Schwierigkeitsgrad hochdrehen und sich so größeren Herausforderungen stellen. Unterm Strich begeistert der Titel vor allem mit seinen Charakteren, der großen Spielwelt, charmanten Grafiken und passender Musik.
Great RPG.
Dragon Lapis, an pixelated light JRPG. It's like playing one on the GBC....but without the depth. You get your party of 4 and (the biggest pro) can change Jobs. To master said Jobs you must find Job-plates and than gain special points to full those plates (for each Job you'll need many many plates). Now that is the selling point for this game and also his biggest weakness. You see to gain points you'll need grinding excessive grinding. In fact there are 2 ways to play this game: a) forget about the Jobs and play a real JRPG. b) do the Jobs and the associated 2 extra dungeons and the rest of the game is like a walking sim.....I played on Hard and finished the last opponent with 1 Hit. The gameplay is very straightforward. You must defeat and evil and visit several dungeons. Each consist of several levels. No secrets and encounter every few steps. Even with normal play you'll reach the highest level (99) before the endgame. Like most of Exe games there is a normal end and if you continue playing you reach the Happy Ending. This time it is only one short extra dungeon. So can I recommend this game.....It has is flaws but still it was funny.
Solid little game. The retro look fits the gameplay as you'd hope. Cute characters I Very much a love letter to the 16-bit jRPG era. Without getting into spoiler territory, a lot of the design choices really made me smile as I encountered them; Quality of life options I would have loved back in the day fit seamlessly into the overall feel of the game. Music was good enough but didn't have the old Kemco vibe I admit I was hoping to hear a bit of. Not a soundtrack I'm gonna put on for fun though. The job leveling system I came to really like but even after 20+ hours I never felt like the menus for managing "Plates" was ever anything but terribly clunky. It's a pity they didn't put in an option to just make that menu a straight list instead of the showy-but-awkward style they used for it. That's literally my biggest complaint about the game, but considering how integral that is to the game itself it becomes hard to ignore. Nothing is perfect and Dragon Lapis is no exception. Oh, and anyone worried about the paid add-ons/"cheats": Don't be. They are COMPLETELY unnecessary and can totally just be ignored. The game is going to give you access to those same bonuses in other ways and even then you still will never need them. Also, just start the game on Hard mode if you've ever played pretty much any SNES RPG ever. Cute, fun, quirky, and all-around a pleasant experience. The low marks are minimal and do not take away from the whole experience. Highly recommended.
Very excellent game!! There's two ways to getting your stats up. Through regular fighting and the growth plate system. The growth plate system is very vital to getting your stats up as well and via the growth plate system it can help your stats go into the five digit range with your HP being capped at 99,999 even though the max party level is only 99. Excellent story as well along with hilarious dialogue. Definitely worth buying!!
dragon warrior nostalgia, I recommend the game if you're able to get it with a 35-50% discount
not my first choice for a kemco rpg, or even the dragon series. it's fairly bare bones and has this fomo inducing stat system similar to ff10. That said it's still enjoyable. just odd the formula regressed since sinker and prana
