Yay, defeated for the first boss/first stage! I really liked it! Gonna play this for sure... Finally some challenge!

 

[Hadrian]

Been playing this for a while, dissapointed at first but now I'm into it. Give it a chance I'd say.

 

[StingX]

this game will be widely hated and controversial because of its extremely slow start. the game really grows on you and does get better though.

 

[Jeda]

hmmm slow start indead, but i guess the ship will get stronger over time and hopefully faster too
Have now finished the starting level. The timing does not seem to be constant... not sure if i just imagine it is, or if it
is an emulation problem, or ... a problem of the game itself

Anyway, once you reach the first RPG part, make sure to press select, then b to see the weapon select screen
There seem to be three weapons with 28/20/28 setups... 76 weapon modes for sure is something to look out for

Anyway, now I have to play the first part again, as I went to the captain at once without exploring the base, and my secret loving self fears it has missed something in that other part of the map

edit: okay secret loving self can rest now, nothing missed...
anyway, there defenitly are slowdowns that don't seem to belong there. I had similar things when
playing astro boy... One would think 1333 mhz is enough for vba?

 

[Xeago]

What the hell, its seriously sluggish over here, any thoughts on that?

 

[SilverGenix]

i played this game for 2 hrs straight and its very addictive.
the start is a bit hard and boring IMO, but after that it'll get better. Im now in chapter 2.

nice game 8/10

 

[gigagreato]

Nice game. One problem though - After a while, your ship gets experience really fast and becomes really powerful. So in the random battles, there is no challenge and it gets a little repetitive and boring. Other than that, it is pretty good.

 

[Bi99uy]

Quick question, is the ship supposed to be slow and sluggish as hell?

 

[Jojjy Ugnick]

You can hold B to make it move a little faster...
I think you can probably upgrade it later.

 

[StingX]

its supposed to be a slug when you start

 

[Jeda]

... played that first level on the first planet for the first time, got almost killed by the last wall you have to shoot
through... Really almost nothing left on the life bar... Had to eat one more Shot, and then the life bar was at zero, but me still alive. Reached the boss, killed him without loosing health. Boss exploded, Stage succesful thingy came up...
I was taken back to the forest thingy and BANG game over... bug i guess, on the ship == 0 life is enough but not on the surface... Have since then failed to get to that boss 3 times in a row... begin to hate that level

Ok, I got passed the intro stage, and the rpg portion is pretty neat.
the different ship every time is wicked.

It's getting pretty interesting, at the entrance to the mine now.

Put it down for a second. Rockstar is on. FUCKING YEAH!

 

[AshuraZro]

Game started a little on the sluggish side, but I'm finding it to be quite enjoyable now. The fact that the random battles are side-scrolling shooter battles is a nice change of pace from other RPG-ish games.

 

[Lily]

I'm quite glad to see people sticking it out and giving it a good try - it's worth it!

 

[Kyoji]

Just to clarify:
In VBA the game seems to run slow, or at least the controls. On hardware its MUCH more acceptable, maybe not as tight as R-Type but it works. The RPG elements certainly are interesting, and the story (ignore the intro sequence, its not representative of the rest of the game) is quite original and well written aswell. All in all its refreshing to play something like this, its too bad it will probably sell 100 copies worldwide.

 

[berlinka]

Haven't played it yet, but isn't the 'sluggishness' part of the whole idea of a side shooter? I mean when you start playing games like Gradius or R-Type the ship also moves extremely slow, but after some speedups it's allright...

 

[Jojjy Ugnick]

^^ True.

Okay I was playing, enjoying, then I came to the first set of random battles, where it's all explained. The first dozen were cool, but then I got to one where I was being damaged by nothing. I swear it wasn't enemy fire, because I was playing on the TV and everything...

I ended up dying before I could kill everything.

Bummer.

 

[Elrinth]

wow!!! it's finally released!!!
I wonder if this'll make it to europe? cause if it does, and is good now that I try it, I'll have to buy it !

 

[ReyVGM]

Jeez, were any of you guys alive during the NES days? This game is getting so much attention because it's the only RPG/Shooter game that has come out after The Guardian Legend came out way back during the NES days.

TGL is a game that has achieved cult status over the years and most people were exited when Sigma Star Saga was announced.
Yes the ship is slow, but you will be able to upgrade it eventually (It is an RPG after all)

And BTW, WayForward did the game, not Namco.
