This game is like Odin Sphere, a 2D game but way more interesting that 3D games. This game gets kind of tiring after the second round, because you have to play the same routes just to train second role, instead train the new role with the previous trained character. Other than this, I like this game a lot. You can play with other people on line or just off line, by yourself or with group. very good team setting design. I do not know what else I should say, because I want to you to actually play this game and enjoy the same things as I had while playing. You will like this game a lot.

Manual and disc with game case pretty clean and presentable. I am a game collector and the condition this was in was more than good for display.

I will admit, what drew me to investigate this game was the unique artwork, but when I discovered that it was a side-scrolling action RPG in the vein of Champions of Mystara, it was a no-brainer for me to pick up. If you've never played a side-scrolling action RPG before, think of this game as a blend of Final Fight (or any of the old side-scrolling beat-'em-up games), and Diablo. The game play is all very action oriented, requiring you to do real-time button combos to use special attacks or spells, and actively dodging the attacks of your foes. You gain experience and loot as you adventure, making yourself more powerful as you work your way deeper into the more challenging areas of the game. There are six different playable characters, each of which have unique combat styles, which offers the game a pretty hefty replay value. The game itself is intended to be a multiplayer (4 players max), and cross-networks with the portable version via the Playstation Network, where players can team up on adventures or duel each other in a battle royale! Fortunately, the single-player campaign is pretty immersive and engaging. Be warned that the game is pretty short, all things considered; there are only 9 different areas to explore, all of which are are fairly linear. The music and graphics are very well done. Even though the graphics are done in the style of a 90's arcade game, they are lovingly rendered and very creatively utilized. Don't expect a game that rides the bleeding-edge of gaming technology, but rather a classic with retro sensibilities.Read full review
I wasn't sure what to expect. I've only played one of vanillaware's other games Muramasa (which is also amazing). The graphics are beautiful. I've only been playing a short while but I'm being sucked into the medieval world
