From an old Suikoden Simp
This game has been review bombed by people who don't like it's localization team. I think some honest reviews for the actual game itself instead of its localization are needed, so here goes. Bad: This game is shades of Suikoden II, to a fault. It took the best and worst from Suikoden I and II, and put them into a world that is partially 3D and partially 2D. Runes are now Rune Lenses, Nanami is now Lian, Vikki is now Carrie, etc. The combat is very much like Suikoden, except the turn order is more reminicent of DnD, and the combat is much slower to execute. Most of the minigames are stripped down versions of their Suikoden II counterparts, devoid of their interesting mechanics. Finally, the story is very Suikoden II-like, but with an E(veryone) rating instead of T(een), which is a dubious choice as war story without the horrendous consequences a war inevitebly results in makes war seem fun and breezy. It feels like a Saturday morning cartoon story. All character deaths have happened off screen, and those characters weren't even given names. I haven't even seen a nameless NPC die yet, not even a grunt with a helmet on, a la Star Wars. Good: I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. It's not a perfect game, but it does scratch my old Suikoden itch. I'm finding the characters to be mostly entertaining and likable. I've seen reviews argue that the characters are forgettable, and lots of them are, but no more than were in Suikoden. How many people really remember Chuchura, for example? The leveling system is ripped straight out of Suikoden, and that's for the best, as its one of the few examples of a JRP respecting its player's time (which really makes the slower combat stick out like a sore thumb, sadly). This game is fun, not profound. Localization thing: There are some moments of oddly worded choices, but it's better than Suikoden I and II's. I have no political agenda, so I'm not up in arms about it. I think most of the game was kept faithful, though a bit cheesier.
Hilft dir das weiter?
