    The game isn't terrible but by no means original. It is pretty much a carbon copy of an original Final Fantasy game. The save point throughout is terrible. It doesn't save off the bat and uses an old feature of saved checkpoints. It does contain some beautiful scenes with the art style it pulls off. The combat is great. A nice little story also. It does give you that original retro feel ofThe game isn't terrible but by no means original. It is pretty much a carbon copy of an original Final Fantasy game. The save point throughout is terrible.

    In the end, while the story is regrettably un-memorable and fairly lacking, the game play makes up for it with several clever, strategic spins on time-tested game play mechanics. Back that up with solid graphics and audio and you have yourself an old-school RPG that should scratch that itch you've been having.

    An imperfect tribute to classical JRPGS from a European team. An enjoyable experience if you're an hardcore fan of the genre.

    Earthlock Festival of Magic tries to be a homage to the old school JRPGS. It succeeds in that with its instinctive fighting system, but fails desperately to keep it fresh. Earthlock is everything but magical.
