Like I said, the game's just obscenely shallow for its own type and (sub?)genre. I had to cheat and max the character's speed so I can enjoy a moment with my bow. It's just that slow.

Holy crap, they really did butcher the European boxart to make it look suitable for kids. The American boxart looks a bit adult-oriented. Haha

No, the American boxart looks schoolboy oriented. At least in this version people are wearing pants instead of just two belts.

Haha, IGN said it was hard.
It depends a lot on your character build. Some spells and skills are overpowered (seriously, the fourth air spell is absurd -- it barely costs anything and causes you to continuously fire a rapid stream of homing air bolts that will kill everything nearby for the next few seconds. And you can walk around while firing it, finishing an entire screen.)

But if you neglect your defense stat and armor, there are monsters later on that can unexpectedly pounce on you, get a bunch of hits in a row, and kill you instantly.

I like it, oddly. It's not great, but it's fun to collect abilities, and it has some fun ones. My favorite is the bow skill that lets you fire arrows that hang in the air until you do a normal attack -- you can scream "ZA WARUDO!", then fire six or seven arrows at once, then lure an enemy over and let them go all at once.

Not actually very useful, but fun.

Easiest action-rpg I've played. Last boss literally went down in 1-2 minutes. (when I played the japanese version, bruteforcing through menus)

Something I just noticed about the Euro version of the game is that the script has been re-written. Although the story is the same it's wording has been altered noticeably.

Just seems like an odd thing to do.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
