Radiant Historia - Nintendo DS

I purchased this to try out an Atlus game before investing $50 in Persona Q. Yes, I'm aware that it's from a long time ago. br>br>Secondary Benefitsbr>1. The time travel aspect is fascinating, the characters are likable, and it has a classic fantasy RPG vibe. br>2. The combat system is engaging and entertaining. It's nothing like ATB, but it's still a lot quicker than a strategy RPG.
3. The menus are straightforward and straightforward. You get exactly what you require and nothing more.
4. The action in the game moves at a fast pace. I despise games that drag on interminably. You've already traveled through time in less than an hour.
5. The artwork for the characters is fantastic. br>6. It's a little grungy, but it's unique. There are over 200 nodes in total. That means you can go back in time to over 200 points and complete side quests or change the course of events. That is a substantial amount of information. Consbr>1. br>br>Consbr>1. br>br>Consbr>Consbr>Consbr The main game is played on the bottom screen, while the top screen, which is far more beautiful, is devoted to stats. That has always irritated me in video games.
2. It's a very simple game. The story is complex, and the battle is complex, but it appears to be built on sand. It's the little things, like the after-battle screens, the menu, the battle menus, and so on; there doesn't seem to be much there, and it feels off. It's purely a matter of design, and it has no bearing on the game. You have the tools to play, but they are just that: tools.
3. Even though it's from 2010, the graphics appear to be a little outdated to me. Graphically, Chrono Trigger appeared to be more polished. Although it does not detract from the overall experience, a little more polish would have been beneficial. br>br>This is a fantastic game in general. There's a lot going on here, and it's a good one. I have a lot more faith in Atlus' other games now that I've played this one. Let's hope they're a little more polished than this one =)br>br>*Update
I finished the game and am now giving it a 5-star rating. This is an incredible game. There's a lot going on here. I still think the UI could be a little more polished, but I'm very happy with it. I intend to return to this game.

This game surprised me with how enjoyable it was to play. It was enjoyable to read. The story was good, even if it was very linear and only worth playing once. To me, it's a one-and-done game, but others will watch the same movie, read the same book, or play the same linear game over and over again. It's an action role-playing game with turn-based combat and random battles. In combat, you can use skills to move enemies to different tiles so that your attacks can hit them all. The plot revolves around a prince in a dying world who discovers a magical book that allows him to travel through time and merge two timelines into one.

I'll admit that when I ordered Radiant Historia in February 2013, I only played it for a few hours before letting it, and my 3DS, collect dust; at the time, the cheapest new copy of the game I could find was $70, so I had high expectations. br>br>However, after completing Ghost Trick a few months ago, I decided to revisit Radiant Historia. And now, nearly a year and a quarter after first picking up the game, I'm writing a review after finishing it just a few hours ago. br>br>I'm not sure what made me put the game down, but now that I've finished it, I believe it was simply the wrong time for me, as the story and music - both of which - are excellent. two of the main reasons I prefer RPGs to other types of games - are quite impressive. br>br>The musical score has a Final Fantasy VI, Nier, and Lost Odyssey feel to it at times. The branching plot reminds me of Chrono Trigger (though it isn't nearly as complicated). Raynie reminds me a lot of Zola, and the character art reminds me a lot of Blue Dragon. br>br>The gameplay is perhaps the one slightly insignificant aspect, because while it does feature some complexity when it comes to moving the location of enemies on the 3x3 grid they inhabit, I found myself using four characters (including the main one who can't be swapped out) for the majority of the endgame, depending on who I had access to in the storyline. br>br>In short, I found the game to be really quite good once I was able to get into it. However, given the game's relatively safe ending, I'm not sure how much of the 40 hours I invested in it will stick with me in the future. br>br>I give Radiant Historia four out of five stars, owing to the excellent music and story/mission structure.

This is an incredible game. The plot revolves around attempting to save your kingdom from being overrun by the enemy, and then the protagonist, Stocke, receives a White Chronicle that allows him to travel through time. So far, the story has been fantastic, but now comes the best part - system of combat Wild encounters, staged encounters, and boss fights are all part of the battle system. Run-of-the-mill the- stuff from the RPG mill The battle system, on the other hand, is a standout. You have three party members, Stocke and two others depending on where you are in the game, a 3X3 grid with your enemies, and a turn chart that shows when you can attack. When you combine your units, you can unleash massive combo attacks that deal even more damage. In about 40 hours of play, I had gotten pretty good at the battle system, losing only a few fights. br>br>This is a fantastic game that I highly recommend. Enjoy!.
