Ringlorn Saga

This is a charming little throwback to a previous generation of action RPGs. Recommended for anyone in the mood for a tight little game to enjoy for a few hours! The story is just enough, and the lore of the game world unfolds naturally as you interact with characters and solve the various quests. I completed the game in about 3 hours, with my progress accelerating as I naturally figured out the world and combat mechanics through some mild trial and error. Nothing terribly challenging in the main quest, now I'm turning to the post-game Temple of Rebirth quest.

A decent action-rpg romp, even if I didn't find it particularly difficult.

The game throws you into its world and its systems, entrusting the player to find answers and solutions by themselves with some hints here and there, which is quite nice and reminiscent of older rpg titles. A lot of focus is on exploration, combat, and movement which is a very interest way to do things. The combat system, while different than usual, is well designed and easy to get the hang of without feeling too easy that every encounter is a breeze. The world is designed in a way where landmarks are easy to remember where they are, but how to get to them can be a challenge at times (mainly trying to find the caves to the manor and the castle as well as where and how to find certain items like the tower key). I did find myself not using magic all too much, its effects were not all too helpful even in the late game, although magic on enemies is very threatening, mainly stun, a certain late game enemy's spells, and the final boss' spells. The progression is easy to follow without any guide with solutions being hinted at if you talk to someone, or the solutions may just come natural to you. There's also some non-required things to do/obtain which is very neat. The bonus dungeon utilizes the combat system and enemy design at its best. This dungeon is almost like one elaborate puzzle with which enemy having only a limited skill set (some even having magic), different walking speeds, different stats, and some being required to advance to the next level of the dungeon. The combat system can make things a challenge as you can accidentally lose a powerful form (like a vampire or deathknight) to a bat who happened to walk into you last second which sets you basically back to square one in later floors. It is a true test to your combat ability and memorization of the enemies in the main campaign, ending with a pretty interesting implication for what happens after the campaign. The music and the look of the game are also fantastic. The controls are also very nice and responsive, every bad thing that happened felt like it was my fault and not the game being unfair. Ultimately, I rate this game very highly and recommend it to people who enjoy older rpg titles or want to get into older rpg titles as this game, while not being old, is a pretty fair introduction to them, albeit much less cruel and much less of a grind (although I admit I may just be really good at this game).

As an OG Hydlide liker, I had a lot of fun with this game! The game has a nostalgiac and familiar feeling, but brings in a couple modern ideas to keep it unique. The soundtrack had a pleasant dungeon-synthy feel to it that never got old. All in all, some good fun, and a great pick if you like PC-88/MSX styled Action RPGs.
