    This is a solid game worth playing if you are an RPG fan. It's not as good as Final Fantasy Tactics, but it's a nice reimagining of a classic Chinese folk tale that should keep any fans of FFTactics satisfied. It's colorful, quirky, and has a decent story/characters.

    It's great to see a game this well-made come almost completely out of nowhere.

    The graphic details of the game are extremely well done, considering the dated system.
