Shining Plume

So I'm just going to list out the Pro's and Con's Pros - There is a lot of good dialogue, Hard to follow at first but It includes lots of references to Japanese culture and there was even some funny references that are easy to miss(There was a Ghous Busters Reference!) - You don't have to constantly grind - This game is generally cheap (I got it for 50cents), Well worth the 7-9 hours of gameplay you can get out of...

Alright, alright! As someone who really enjoyed watching anime (*cough* *cough* Gintama) that included samurais... I surely had an interest in this game. Mainly because it was an RPG game. Characters: beautifully designed. Levels are pretty. Music/SFX are good to go with the game. Combat is turn-based, but you have different effects and you can stare at character's faces. You can dash by holding down a key. ...

You can cancel it out by moving left but the second you stop pressing down another directional button you're moving right.

A decent samurai-inspired plot crippled by dreary dialogue, poorly-developed, sometimes borderline intolerable characters and sloppy controls. Enemies dart quickly and are hard to avoid, so you are constantly forced into repetitive battles. It's essentially your typical RPGMaker fare; a commendable albeit futile effort in recreating a solid jRPG, yet nothing distinguishing it from others. It's not particularly...

This game in terms of almost every aspect is stunningly good. Riveting storyline, vibrant characters, and even pop culture references! If I'm being nitpicky, there's only one thing I would change: the healing skills, learned namely by Akira, are somewhat useless, as their magnitude is very low. This makes Akira a really underwhelming character, even though she has a wide range of skills. Overall, a grand game, would...

Finished this title around 5 hours. While it is not too bad, there are some flaws to the game which could have been made better. Positives: 1) Some nice theme and concepts in relation to the Japanese Samurai/code of conduct. 2) Generous items being given and obtained throughout the game (making it easier to enjoy the story more than worrying about combat side of things). 3) Monsters assets used in the game is...
