    A traditional fantasy JRPG that starts off a bit confusing, looks rather blocky, and has an unbalanced battle system. Yet, the story, characters, and humor are there so it ends up being a proper, delightful, old school adventure that lasts a respectable 20 hours or so.

    If you can put up with the flaws, this will be a fun and exciting RPG, but it’s indeed hard to ignore some of them.

    It's hard to play Sands of Destruction where it could have been enjoyable and easy: hard for the tremendous amount of random encounters and, most of all, for the insanely unbalanced battle system, base on luck more than ability.

    It's a colorful, splashy fantasy role-playing game--no less, but also no more. [Jan 2010, p.89]
