Enchanted arms for microsoft xbox 360

With the Japanese dialog, the stunning visuals and the solid turn-based combat system it's the first game in a long time that sates my appetite for the old school RPG. All this publication's reviews Read full review. RPG Fan. The eye candy is the game's defining feature, but it doesn't attempt to stand on that aspect alone. Gamers' Temple. I also found it strange that wherever Atsuma went there was always a cloud of dust at his feet.

Not sure why this bothered me, but it did. Jolt Online Gaming UK. The decidedly traditional approach that permeates every part of the game makes the decision to develop this as a "new-gen" game all the more odd, to say the very least.

A fundamentally flawed and boring RPG, Enchanted Arms might be steeped in Japanese charm but without any sense of fun or involvement, there's no reason to buy this.

For those reviewers that dislike it; as another critic has said, they seem to down rate it based on criticisms of the genre rather than the game it self.

It's rather like giving the latest version of Tiger Woods or PES a bad rating because you don't like golf games or football games. This of course maybe the "fault" perhaps of Oblivion.

This was many "new" gamers first introduction to RPGs and perhaps they think that it is representative of all RPGs, rather than being part of a sub genre of a greater genre. It is also, as far as I can remember, the first JRPG that you can actually switch the soundtrack to the Japanese - which oddly i find far better than the English one - like the difference between a subbed and English soundtrack Anime.

The addition of "Golems" add a lot of interesting aspects to the game. Overall, I pretty good game. I wonder that this title was rated so badly. It's a great RPG if you understand how to play it. I liked the tactical combat system. Also it I wonder that this title was rated so badly. Also it has quite a good story; only the Golem hunt is a bit unnecessary. So I rate this game with 9 Points. So i've decided to review this not having played it for well over a decade, But I find myself remembering and missing this game.

I feel it's So i've decided to review this not having played it for well over a decade, But I find myself remembering and missing this game. I feel it's totally under rated and a good RPG. The graphics were great, the story was good, the characters were also good. I enjoyed pretty much all aspects of the game. I enjoyed collecting the side golems as well. I wish more people got to experience it for themselves.

There wasn't much commercial for it, it's not a very well known game. I wish they made more because honestly it had a lot of potential. I decided to grab this on ps3 and will play it on there for the first time soon: … Expand. A decent JRPG that really doesn't add anything new to the genre. But it isn't bad either. Oh, and don't let Makoto turn you off this fun game. That is not the case in this game.

The voice acting is so terrible that I actually had to switch to Japanese just to get some emotion in the story. The characters are poorly put together stereotypes, and the story is so cliche that it is hard to even get immersed in the game. The game is really easy and does not require thinking skills at all--just like the main character, an idiotic character who is all brawn and no brains. I will say this though, the combat is something new to the JRPG setting.

It is a standard turn base, no surprise there, but it brings an interesting element to the table. It places your group on a 4x3 board but there is little thought that goes into character placement on the battlefield. I enjoyed that part o f the game; although, it ended up becoming rather repetitive in the long run. I would recommend this game to those who want something familiar but with a slight variation.

If you're looking for a fun RPG for the check it out. The story is very linear which is kinda lame, but it does tell pretty decent story by the time you finish. The graphics look great on a HDTV, which is a nice sell point. The games fighting system is not your standard chose a monster pick an attack, you have to be in range on a grid and you have to pick the right attack pattern. This adds a little more thought into the fighting system. It doesn't make the game great, but it does add an element of strategy over most RPGS.

It's an easy gamer points also, you just have to play the game to get the achievements, no fancy secrets to unlock or tricks. If you finish you get the full po ints. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, this game is average at best. Compared to other top hits for the Xbox such as Gears of War, Halo 3 or Resident Evil 5 , this game seems mediocre.

But, if you're looking for an old-fashion turn-based RPG harder and harder to find, these days , then this is a good one. The first spin off a classic RPG is that the battles are formatted a little differently. Characters are placed on each side of the field your side vs. Each field is a small grid, aprox. Each character takes up a certain amount of space.

Attacks also attack in their own pattern. Some attacks attack everyone in one line, some attack the front 2 rows, some attack one column.

Another weird feature is the characters that battle with you: about 4 or 5 main characters are cap able of battle. The rest are "golems" which are creatures yugioh fans will be tempted to call them "monsters" , that are either battled and captured in dugeons or bought from shops. Only main characters learn new abilities, though. The graphics are decent and the music appropreate though "good" may be a little optimistic.

There are times when the voice-acting really sets the scene, and other times when you just wish there was a "skip" button which there is not. Another thing on that, there are times when the conversation is dull and boring and frankly, doesn't add anything to the storyline.

There's plenty of gametime the entire game took me about 50 hours. The games difficulty is mixed. The beggining is easy. Later in gets pretty hard. Then easier. Much more, and I'd just save it for Final Fantasy when it comes out.

Atsuma is an Enchanter-in-training with the power to control the angry golems with a mysterious power embedded in his arm. Enchanted Arms features a fighting sequence that is intended to rely on strategy as well as power. The combat plays out on a grid of 12 squares that you and the enemy may move around on. There are no classes in Enchanted Arms, so how you select your skills determines how successful you are in battle. During the sequence and before your characters make a move, you will select each of your four group members and the attack they will use.

When you are done, you can sit back and watch the action take place. Each character draws their power from elements such as fire, wind, water, and earth, and each attack a character performs will be either a skill, EX, or item attack. There are over characters to interact with in the game, and the story includes over an hour of cinematic cut-scenes that can be skipped after the first viewing.
