    If you are a fan of Dungeons and Dragons and reminisce about the days when you played games like Eye of the Beholder, this package is definitely for you. The games start off a bit slow, but once they get going, they are really deep and interesting.

The games start off a bit slow, but once they get going, they are really deep and interesting. I find the story of Saviors of Sapphire Wings to be more interesting, but I enjoy the fact that Stranger of Sword City allows me to build a team to my liking, much like Dungeons and Dragons. And the fact that you get two games in this bundle is certainly something to consider when you are looking for something that will be the best bang for your buck, as both games will keep you busy for a long while.… Expand

    Despite how generic Saviors of Sapphire Wings felt, it’s a mostly solid DRPG. I wouldn’t recommend either of these for a newcomer, mainly because Saviors of Sapphire Wings is largely uninspired and Stranger of Sword City Revisited can be extremely challenging. However, for people who already enjoy what these types of games have to offer, Stranger of Sword City Revisited is a must-play. The striking art style, unique setting, and plenty of depth in its core mechanics will keep people coming back for more. The ports are good, and you’ll be sure to have a fun time with at least one of these if you’re a fan of the genre. The package is a little lacking, and there are much better DRPGs, but it is worth playing all the same.

    I may have already played through one of these two games before, but that didn’t stop Saviors of Sapphire Wings / Stranger of Sword City Revisited from being an absolute blast. While the punishing difficulty curve of SoSCR might be enough to put off those who don’t want to invest too much time into their dungeoneering experiences, SoSW is much more approachable and acts as a happier, easier version of its grittier counterpart. You’d best pick this two-for-one treat up if you’re even remotely a DRPG fan. You’re totally missing out, otherwise!

    Saviors of Sapphire Wings / Stranger of Sword City Revisited carry aspects of their age with them, but this bundle of two somewhat obscure RPGs still provides a deep, detailed, dungeon-crawling experience that is well-suited to the Switch handheld.
