Game Review - originally written by (wraith)
If you've ever played an 8-bit or 16-bit RPG, you already know exactly what this game plays like. I know the term “Dragon Quest Clone” is cliché, but this game fits the term to a button. Except for in battles, everything is represented by 16×16 pixel sprites and tiles, and you interact with your environment and inventory via menus. Of course, being a game that is part of the whole Megami Tensei canon, it kicks a lot more ass than most Dragon Quest clones, and has mythological/theological/occult bent to everything in the game. It looks pretty neat.
