/vr/ - Retro Games

Yep, played and beat this. It's a strange one - I loved the atmosphere, which is truly unlike any SNES rpg I've played, and the fact some bits played like a strange horror/point and click adventure. It's let down a little by its battle system seeming very by the books, and the minimap with the enemies moving around doesn't really help you avoid random battles as they move about erratically, too. Top tier soundtrack helps a ton though - boss battles are hype as fuck when that synthmetal kicks in.

Brain Lord is related to this too, and it and 7th Saga, not to mention a PS1 Mystic Ark i'm super intrigued about past its language barrier make a 'Remeer' series. Wondered if some day I should play 7th Saga with a difficulty hack that fixes it. Brain Lord is awesome though and I'd hugely recommend it.

The PS1 game looks like a pure 3d adventure game with Resident Evil puzzles and a strange gothic storybook feel. The only combat seems to be via cardbased spells. Seen a few bits of it on YT - looks interesting but has almost nothing to do with this game afaik.
