better experience.
If you've played Ringlorn, you know approximately what to expect in terms of presentation and moment-to-moment gameplay from its Gaiden game. Things are different this time around - the familiar layout is markedly changed by events and time between games (assuming this one comes later, which I'm not entirely sure of). You have the power to emulate a monster after dealing a fatal blow while in your 'natural' form, which makes up most of the 'puzzles' of the game. Being 'after the end' there are far fewer NPCs to talk to. It's a much lonelier, darker experience.
Pretty darn open world, though. I stumbled up to the final boss (with lots of tactical dodging throughout his fortress) at something like level three. I'm glad I lost that fight, since wandering around gaining levels and tools eventually granted me some clarity on what had happened in the first place to make everything so bad, and while the plot isn't going to shake your perceptions of what kind of stories games can tell, it's pretty solid.
I would strongly recommend against playing this before going through the 'normal' version of Ringlorn. If you beat that though, and liked it, and can approach this as more of a DLC / sidegrade-game than a straight up sequel or continuation, I think you'd like Gaiden too.
A small hint - There's an Aggressive and a Defensive mode, and since killing the enemy quickly and dodging it's attacks (instead of trying to soak them with your HP) is the name of the game, you'll probably quickly forget there even is a Defensive mode. Remember it exists when you're trying to talk to the few NPCs there are!
