    Those difficulty spikes are just too unforgiving, and there’s only so many times you can be completely obliterated by the same set of enemies before you have to throw in the towel.

I’m not saying that I was expecting this game to be a bad game, but I didn’t think this RPG would be as rewarding as it was. The main attraction of this game is that it rewards you for doing any quest or completing anything noteworthy, and this makes you want to carry on with the game. The combat in the game is also something that makes the game stand out. They have managed to take the classic RPG turn based style and tweak it slightly to make the combat both exciting and interesting at the same time. The crafting mechanics in the game have a decent variety to them, and I enjoyed crafting the items and in my opinion it gave the game some more replay value. The story that accompanies the gameplay is very good and it manages to intrigue you throughout. The story also gives the characters a layer of depth to them and it definitely made me care about them more. I would however have liked the text to have been a bit bigger because I must admit that I struggled to read it at times and this did make me miss some important points. The presentation side of the game is simply stunning. The art style breaths life into the game and it definitely makes the game beautiful, which in turn makes it stand out. The music in the game is also brilliant and it delivers a number of different atmospheres for you to take part in. At the end of the day if you look past the technical issues then you will find a very competent and exciting RPG. The world is not as big as other games in the genre, but I don’t think it needs to be because the game has more than enough here to keep you satisfied. It gets a lot of the main things right and for me that’s more than enough for me to recommend that you give Battle Chasers: Nightwar a try.… Full Review »

If you enjoyed JRPGs in the 90s, this is for you. BCN is a double-A game with amazing production values. In fact, I can think of a LOT of triple-A games that can't deliver the level of gameplay this little gem does. Graphics are very pleasing, the world is colorful and large, the characters have personalities of their own, the party synergy is great, and the enemies are varied enough. Sound effects are pretty good, too.

    I recommend this game to anybody, really.    … Full Review »
