You must level up as much as you can and in addition you need to upgrade your gear rigorously. Defeating them requires a lot of planing. While I rushed through every enemy on the field with ease, bosses and rare enemies can be extremely challenging. I can’t stress how important it is to save often, as you never know what kind of horrific monster will pop out murdering your whole party in a matter of seconds. This is also important as the boss demon will only appear if you find every Gem Circle on that map and beat the enemies there. Win the battle and you will earn three new items depending on the gems you placed. Each gem corresponds to a specific equipment piece. In order to get any kind of equipment you need, you can summon monsters from Gem Circles by placing 3 gems at a time. If it reaches zero the demon will go berserk doing much more damage but also attacking your party in the process. Every turn in which a demon is summoned your demon gauge will deplete. In battles you can summon demons and even though they act independently, they are still a huge helping hand. Some demons will allow you to see hidden items, while others will allow you to traverse over hazardous terrain. Each demon you capture has its use while exploring and in battles. This allows for flexibility in what each character can do.Ĭapturing demons is only limited to bosses, but it’s generally done well. Each class can only learn specific skills, but some artifacts allow any of your party members to use skills that are not inherit to their class. Initially there might be little depth, but quickly you will gain skills, special equipment and various special items, all of which add needed depth to this title. Only the main character can summon captured demons. While this does mean there will be backtracking, it’s still nice to really see how large the level is, because of all the areas you missed on your first go.īattles are your standard fare, as you can attack, defend, use a skill, use an item or escape. Getting a specific demon or item opens up these paths for you. What I loved about this title is the fact that some areas will be initially inaccessible, because you don’t have the required item (for example to breath underwater) or just because the tiles you walk on do damage. You will explore large maze like dungeons, which can span multiple maps and floors. Once you enter a dungeon the gameplay switches to a first person view, allowing you to walk on a grid. Fortunately they don’t happen often, but this can make playing this game in public a bit awkward. What’s more jarring is that these scenes feel more like flashing, as a semi nude girl pops out of nowhere and disappears in less than a minute, making you question what the hell just happened. The game can also get a bit too sexy at times. Most of the characters also have a back story which you will learn more as you spend time with them. She is a huge help, as she revives your fallen party members for a fee, as well as upgrades your weapons. Prometh is a mysterious girl who rarely wears anything except her undies. He loves to get butt naked every time he is drunk. Lezerm is an elf and the item shop keeper. You have Fran, the manager, who while kind, can be quite strict when it’s time for you to pay your ever increasing rent. Each of the characters also has a vital role in the inn. You will get to spend a lot of time with most of them, making it feel as if you were living with these people. When you are introduced to the residents of the Dragon Princess Inn some characters might immediately seem irritating, but as things progress they will grow on you. The main element that holds everything together is the interesting characters. The story gets more enjoyable as it progresses, since there is a good amount of twists and turns along the way. The reason for many things is kept secret until much later in the game, allowing for a genuine dose of mystery. You soon get a stay in the Dragon Princess Inn where you are told to explore the world of Misrid in order to capture more demons. You then discover that you are a Demon Gazer, a person with the ability to control defeated demons at his will. After escaping from a dungeon you defeat a demon with the assistance of Lorna, a big chested eyepatch wearing women. Typical to every JRPG you play as a silent amnesiac.
