    A classic JRPG style game that still holds lots of fun. The remake for the switch is a welcome addition but this edition still holds it grounds for those lacking the new console.

    If you have enjoyed any of the previous releases from ATLUS. You should enjoy this title too. ATLUS has been one of my favorite publishers since the DS days with Etrian series.

    If you are searching for another 3DS rpg and have played radiant historia, this is a great one. I bought it for a long plane trip and it was engrossing. Not sure id have bought it otherwise and I’m happy I did.

    The creators of legend of legacy made a solid rpg that lacked a very fullfilling story. This same team made this one with sukidoen 2 director writing it. Fantastic story and a great battle system.

    World map is relatively small, but detailed. Starts very easy, with a difficulty spike around 15 to 20 hours in depending on how familiar you become with the battle system and customizing formations and use of combat skills.

    This is a solid title on an aging system. Probably not the swan song but still one of the last (in my opinion) 3ds RPGs. The launch edition might be collectible in the future.

    Like any video game, you do the same thing over and over again. This RPG game is good that it doesn't get too tiring. Killing monsters, learning tactics and recruiting members.

    If you are really into JRPGs, like that's your main genre, you have no reason not to get this. If you do not like JRPGs, you will continue to not like them after playing this one.

    Get this game if you have a 3ds and you like RPGs. It's another Atlus classic that will get missed just like Radiant Historia on the classic DS. Great game.
