And since it’s the first game, I guess we should give it some slack. I reckon it’s like Jeanne D’Arc’s Coliseum but I can’t be too sure since I just looked at the first floor.Īll in all, I think it’s a pretty decent game, considering the fact that the franchise reached Luminous Arc 3. Upon finishing the game for the first time, a dungeon opens when you load your saved and finished game. That’s just for the first playthrough, though. With 26 or so chapters, where each chapter is equal to one place/city, I managed to finish it in a little over 20 hours. It’s quite a short game if you just want to finish the main story. As I said, it was a bit slow and boring at the beginning but it picked up later on with some plot twists and other whatnot. Well, that’s some of the ones I can remember right now. Never mind that she has ‘Twilight’ in her name. Probably my favorite, the Twilight Witch. I love her to death ’cause she’s so cool and her physical attacks are just tops but her magic just sucks. Another one is Mavi, who’s the Nature Witch. Second, Nikoalai hits strong but his Move and Speed attributes are so low he dies even before he gets to hit anyone. First, what on earth is that supposed to be. Some character classes are just better off without. Perhaps they just shouldn’t have taken too long at the beginning.Ĥ. But it picked up along the way so I guess it’s okay. The story was kind of slow at first that I was tempted to drop it for a while. Plus, you can’t position your party during the beginning of battle.ģ. You can switch to the D-pad but its configuration during battle weirds me out. Thus, it may lead to stray hits to fellow members or mistaken Heals for enemies. This usually happens when there are too many characters in a small space and you can’t see where your stylus is pointing to save your life. I mean, sure, he’s a small kid and is the younger bro but, do you really have to rub it in?Ģ.
I only liked the Prelude, the tune during Intermissions and…the opening song, I guess. The two main protagonists, Alph and Lucia.ġ. You have the usual commands you’d find in a turn-based strategy game.
Like Jeanne D’Arc, the battle system was pretty straight forward. Twilight Witch! lsdjflsjd! Lady Claire! The Witch of Immolation! They all end in exclamation points! Even I was surprised with how handsome God was.Ĥ. Nice character design! Although I could say otherwise with the puny humans, I absolutely loved the Witches. It’s not everyday that you find a game which antagonizes God.ģ. Rather than the usual Church=good, Witch=evil, they actually dared turning the tables around and casting the Church into a bad light, raising the risk of harboring the wrath of millions of Roman Catholics all over the world by a 2948723987%. The first time I opened the game, I just stared at the title screen and listened to it, completely forgetting about the ‘New Game’ button flashing in front of my face.Ģ.
The first thing that I really like about it is the piano piece that was being played during the title screen. To make things easier, let’s do this Church-Witch style. There are a number of good things I liked about it but there are also a handful which I hate. What is peculiar about this game for me is that I can’t decide whether it’s good or bad. They were eventually found out and branded as traitors by the Church, which made saving the world a tad more complicated. So they decide to change courts, just like that. Alph and the gang–called the Garden Children, since they were raised and trained in the Ever Garden–finds out that the Church is up to no good and that the Witches are actually nice people. The game pits the Church versus the Witches with your main character, Alph, playing on the side of the Church. Birthed by the same guys who brought us Rune Factory, Marvelous Entertainment, and published by my bias, Atlus Games, Luminous Arc is a turn-based strategy game which plays like Jeanne D’Arc but doesn’t kick as The Witch of Immolation could pass for a Shinigami.
