    Nothing else like this game! Real-time strategy mixed with a menu-driven RPG...excellent!

    Another world beater. In terms of old school versus no school, Growlanser holds a winning hand and that is why it scores so high. The fact that you also get two games in one box adds extra credit here and both of these great games will take you many hours to beat. Atlus has spilled some really nice beans here. But the fact that Atlus opted out for the CD versions instead of one DVD with a Another world beater.

    Outtakes were hilarious, well-known character voicies revisited from games like Lunar2: Eternal Blue. Fluid storyline. Unique battle system. All-in-all, a game worthy of having in your collection.

    I loved this fighting system, like making RTS and Tactics style RPG gaming to make an experience unlike none other. The story and politics between the kingdoms is very interesting and makes for an all around exiting story.

    Two hidden gems of the strategy JRPG genre! Great gameplay, story, characters, voice acting and more. Some of the most hilarious dialogue and localization I've ever seen in a game. Well worth checking out if you have any interest in this unique genre.

    Hours of deep strategic gameplay, excellent music and interesting stories (particularly in "The Dual Darkness' chapter of the saga) make Growlanser Generations a keeper for RPG strategists in need of a noggin-shaking fix.

    Though some new-school players will balk at the slight sluggishness afforded to 2D titles or the occasionally bland graphics, the game's outstanding characters make up for it. [Jan 2005, p.74]

    If you're the kind of player that likes to spend only a few hours a week playing one particular game, Growlanser Generations could last you a year. It's a big package, well worth the price.
