 - Not ImpressedI never could get in to this game. I think the "top down" view just didn't seem right to me. Plus the graphics aren't all that great. This game basically fell into the large pit of boring PSP games that everyone complains about. I can't think of any redeeming qualities that this games possesses. It's just boring. Rating:  - Fun at first, but ends up feeling like a bad hack and slash game as time goes onThis game has its moments, but ultimately this game just isn't that good of a game. At first the enemies seem vast, but like in your MMO's. You realize your basically killing the same spider or skeleton as you progress through the game. Only with them looking a bit different. If you have played Diablo you will be comfortable with this game. Its basically Diablo when you really get down to it. Rating: - This is the Game that never ends!This is the first game I purchased for the PSP. I did enjoy it. For the first month I played it that is. The game does have some entertaining battles and quests. However, it just never ends. Every time I thought I finished the final quest, it suddenly generated nine more for me to complete. Don't get me wrong, I love the RPG and have always loved the Genre, but every epic must come to an end sometime. The quests began to get very tedious after a while. I felt like I was being forced to go here, now here, now go over there, now go back here, now go that away... you get the idea. I am happy I played it, but after three and a half months of near constant game play I had to eventually give up. Rating:  - I haven't put it down yet.......and I think I am close to being done. If Sony allowed "infrastructure" connections, this would be a much better game. I don't ride a schoolbus with a bunch of kids who all play this game (I have not ridden a bus for over 30 years) so the wi-fi feature is useless to me. So far, every maze in the game can be negotiated with a "follow the right wall" feature. The controls are fairly simple - the only one that is impossible to use is "block" which requires a two finger chord (right and circle). I would argue that it should be swapped with weapons change (right and X) at least as an option. The good news is that as a druid, I've never had to block, even once, to win a fight - there are few places I have not been able to get through by pumping heal potions - and those simply have to be approached slowly. Druids get pets (I have no idea if the other classes get pets). At low levels, they get a tumbleweed that will simply annoy and occupy the mob, while at high levels they get a tempest that will actually fight and will take out annoyance mobs automatically. There are some deathtraps - you can get swarmed by so many hard hitting mobs that you won't survive - there is a place where the "rhinos" swarm you, in particular - once you get five of them on you, you might as well not waste your potions - you can try a spell, but you'd have to be stupidly lucky to get an "instant death" on two of them. It is always a matter of tactics - many of those situations can be approached with arrows. I was worried that this would be a game where shooting skill would men life or death - but if you spend some time leveling, you can pretty much take any boss with the right tactics - for some it is shooting at a distance and for others it is engagement. But arrows aim semiautomatically (better if you have higher dex, I think). It is not a game where you set your actions by turns, but it is a game where your shooting skill probably won't matter. I'm having fun playing this game - while it is a bit repetitive, I'm having fun watching the story unfold and I'm wondering how it will turn out. Rating:  - Really good game!!!This is a really good game about a small city called Aven.You have been chosen as a guardian and you get to pick between an alchemist, a berserker, a knight and a druid. druids and alchemists are the main spellcasters, working with kind of offensive spells. berserkers and knights work more up close to the enemy. i would advise this game for anyone who likes adventure, fighting and beating up bad guys!
