Underappreciated, unique, cute tactics game.
Weird to me that so many GOG reviewers can give a five-star pass to borderline unplayable old-school RPGs based purely on their nostalgic value, and trash a quirky little gem like Records of Agarest War. GOOD: + Enjoyable roster of characters; cute sprites, graphics, & animations. + Unique take on tactics-style gameplay, with a lot of emphasis placed on chaining together the abilities of the different characters. Special techniques are unlocked or purchased as you move through the game, so your roster of potential tactical moves is ever-growing. + Combat: a great balance of depth and approachability/fun, once you get your head around it. + The casual, anime dating-sim like interludes. They're shallow and silly, but it breaks up the grindiness. Eventually your initial party of characters produces offspring to be the next "generation," etc. (you can play through multiple generations of characters). + Story unfolds in different ways based on choices -- think Banner Saga with cute anime characters & a better save system. NEUTRAL: ~ Someone mentioned that the battles and animations are way too slow. True, but easily fixed: you can go into the .INI file, make a simple change to the FPS cap, and viola -- game isn't slow anymore. Just Google it. ~ Wildly unbalanced DLC. Avoid it if you want maximum challenge, but it can be fun. BAD: ~ Definitely gets grindy after a while. The story/world are kind of shallow and there's not a lot of atmosphere per se. That's about it though. Maybe I'm in the minority on this game, but if you enjoy tactics-based combat with cute JRPG-style characters, I'd urge you not to write this one off.
