Full Review

I came across this game recently. I did not know what it was about so I popped it in my GBA and from then on I was hooked. I love strategy games and roleplay games and this combines elements of both. You have the strategy of moving players around and turn based elements. You also have the roleplay elements such as weapons, and items. What is unique is that if one of your characters dies... they die. For so long there have been ways to bring folks back which in the real world is not possible. I admit that my experience with previous RPGS has had me stopping and restarting a level whenever I loose a character because I get so attached to them and think I may need them later. This has probably kept me from finishing the game by slowing me down a good bit. But it does make the game harder. There were many of this series of game that were never released in the US. Hopefully this game will be a success and they will translate and port them over to the GBA. Though there is not any blood you do see people impaled with weapons. So I do not suggest this for small kids.
