Hahaha, it's like DARK CLOUD 2? I HAVE to try playing it now. I LOVED the Dark Cloud games!
I have not gotten the chance to play this yet, I am looking forward to actually trying it.
Perhaps a bit off topic:
I never understood the charm of the Dark Cloud games, I just found them extremely repetitive and boring. Enter level, kill all enemies, find key, open all chests, exit level, repeat the same thing on the next level, and so on. It just felt as a dumbed down Diablo/Actraiser hybrid. Sure, Dark Cloud 2 was one of the better looking games on the PS2, and I really liked the weapon upgrade system, but gorgeous graphics and a somewhat inventive twist on the character development alone doesn't make a great game.
Yet at least the second game got great scores in the reviews, almost always > 90%, so you got to be right in some way. Tell me, what was the thing with Dark Cloud for you?
