Despite shoving just about every perspective style possible into this JRPG, the gameplay still ends up being a miss. That kind of summarizes things in general for this game: all of the individual components are so middling that the only possible outcome here is for an aggressively average JRPG that came out when many others had already established themselves with their own unique flavors. There's a reason there's no Sword of Vermilion 2.

very dungeon synth ass game. i cant believe i caught myself saying a game would be better if it had turn based combat

Insists upon itself, exists only to be an RPG-shaped thing for the Genesis' paltry library of adventure titles. Flavorless white bread.

I played this on SEGA Genesis Collection years ago and literally all I can remember about it is that it sucked ass

I played this for an arcade where they had Genesis/SNES/NES classic systems hooked up to the bar while you drink the most toxic shit ever like holy shit look at this menu. I told myself only 15 minutes because I wanted to play all the japanese rhythm games there and immediately in my first round of combat I was instantly game ended. This game understands my wishes, truly the Sword of Peakmillion.

Bonus points because you can name yourself literally nothing, loses those points because the part of the bar I was at was themed after SAO
