May 1, 2019I actually enjoyed the game a lot but it was too glitchy and keeps running out of memory and crashing so I can't actually progress anymore :(

JessieJun 20, 2003This is the worst RPG ever. The only reason I played through it was because it was so stupid it was funny. It wasn't even worth the five bucks I spent on it aside from laughing at it.

JohnW.Sep 22, 2004This game is great, the battles were a little too long at first but after you get your dexterity up it goes much faster, the people who made this game knew there way around fantasy, some people are saying that there's not many secrets to find in the world of aidyn,they are not looking hard enough because i found many.i think this game is made for people with soul.

TreborR.Mar 7, 2007This was the first RPG video game I played and fell in love with it. Great storyline--(who wrote the script?) great imagination and execution. If I had to change anything would be I'd like to have had voice talent preferably from a British Cast. The graphics were simple but effective as were the music and sound effects. This is a nugget of a game that will grow on you like a classic. Enjoy!

CraigA.Jun 11, 2001This game really sucks. It is way easy to get killed when you have a hit ratio of 2 to 10, while monsters hit more like 5 of 10.

ReiV.Jun 15, 2001There doesn't seem to be any music or sound in the game. The graphics are not the way N64 games should be.

[Anonymous]Nov 27, 2001I like this game. I think they could have improved it by making more music, enhancing the graphics, not making it so challanging, and improving the battle scenes. I really like this game except for the poor graphics and the game challenge level.

GamerG.Jul 27, 2001This game is horrible. The graphics are primitive and the layout is frustrating. Battle is extremely slow and time consuming. Just a little more thought could have improved the poor battle layout.

Oct 31, 2011not that bad, animation really hurts and combat is not succesfull but was a really ambitious project for the 64 which was great for its time

Apr 11, 2016So much hate for a great 64 game had to give it some love, Are there problems with this game hell yes, but that doesn't hurt this game at all its all part of the charm of the old games. Great RPG and a massive scale for 2001

May 6, 2022A very underrated game. It is an RPG with a good atmosphere, good control, good story and very entertaining.

Apr 27, 2023An attempt at a 3D version of SNES style RPGs, Aidyn Chronicles manages to get pretty much everything wrong. Ugly, slow, unnecessarily fiddly and a total chore to play.

It's a shame that Aidyn's slow pace and plodding combat mean many of its pluses will be discovered only by the most stubborn players out there.
-
After prodding through this journey over the past week, I can assure hopeful N64 players that this game isn't worth your time, money, or effort.
-
This attempt to add strategy to combat brings the entire gaming experience (slowly) crashing down, and ruins any chance of the gamer enjoying the story being presented.
