Rise Eterna

First of all, the art and character designs in this game are just gorgeous! I can see that extreme effort and love was poured in the art themselves. The gameplay is entertaining but somehow it becomes repetitive at times and lacks variety, it’s always about clearing maps of foes and killing bosses, nothing else. The one thing that prevents this game from reaching its full potential is its writing, goodness gracious the dialogues in this game is bland, dull, and pretty much uninspired to the point that it makes reading an annoyance and a chore rather than enjoyable like most game in the genre. It feels like reading a passage in a teenager’s fanfic or something similar. Even I could do a much better job of making a believable story and narrative. Of all the staffs that worked on this game. I daresay concluded that the only people who worked their asses seriously are the artist and the game designer. The writer was not doing a decent job, and should not be allowed to write in any games in the future or ever for that matter! It’s an insults to the games it tries to emulate such as Fire Emblem and Ogre Tactics Just don’t take this game seriously and it’ll be a good coffee break strategy game instead of an actual SRPG which they intend it to be.

Thought I would liked this game being its a Fire Emblem, turn based strategy. The story really is quite poor and there are no voice overs you have to read all the lines. While reading stuff isn't horrible, it's the way they present the story, it doesn't make sense and lacks any true draw to care about the characters or world. The game itself doesn't seem to have any major issues or bugs that I could see. While I am not a big graphics person, the unit icons made it difficult to tell what you were about to fight. Some of the mechanics I didn't actually see working like combing units in attack I never saw the other units attack they just stood there while the attacker did their thing. Also the skill tree really needs a lot of work its very small and didn't have any intresting skills. Lastly I didn't see a way of advancing your characters other then adding gems that added to some attributes. All in all I don't even recommend this game for turn based junkies like me, its boring and the story diffently doesn't draw you in and make you want to play the game.

It entertains, but there is no challenge. It is boring and the Spanish translation is not good. I hope, beyond chapter 3, to find an improvement, if not a disappointment.

They fixed the one thing that drove me away from older fire emblem games... permadeath characters, i absolutely love how they also moved away from classing leveling based on skill useage, and went with a gem system. keeping your healer alive is much better when you dont have to forevergrind exp with self inflicted damage in the corner.
