About Legend of the 9 Swords: Side Story

Legend of the 9 Swords: Side Story is a 2-Dimensional illustrated role-playing game that is an introduction to the characters and abilities from the full game. In the Side Story you join Neyru, Rethis, Shi'ar and Chathien as they hunt the inter-dimensional criminal Kast. This fantasy RPG has each frame hand animated to emphasize the style of the characters and bring Team tactic role-playing battle to life beyond super-deformed or icon driven battles. The side story is representative of the final game that we seek to finish and we hope you see what we have always loved. A great story.

An incredible start to a game that will hopefully be released in the future. I loved the custom animations (Rethis was my favourite with his 'handgun' when he attacks, haha, and the world-building was interesting, reminiscent of Dungeons and Dragons with the mention of Tyr. The art style is the biggest highlight of the game for me, and I wanted to know more about the characters. I think it's intended that this is a midpoint in the game, since everyone seems to be already established, yet we as the players aren't really given any context as to how they met, why they are here, etc., but since this is a demo, that is to be expected. I hope to see more of this game in the future, and I will definitely purchase it if or when it is released. All the best!

I was surprised that I didn't hate this game. Not a glowing review I know, but what can one really expect from an rpg maker experience, To be fair, there isn't much here at all, i finished it in less than one hour. It's free, I don't feel it was a waste of time but it came out almost 8 years ago so the waiting game is officially over I'd say... we lost? 0 out rescheduled til wait O'clock without prejudice

Игра 'Legend of the 9 Swords: Side Story' приятно удивила. Несмотря на скромную пиксельную графику, геймплей оказался на удивление увлекательным и динамичным. Боевая система, основанная на использовании разных стилей меча, предоставляет тактическую глубину и разнообразие. Приходится внимательно выбирать оружие и подстраиваться под врагов. Сюжет, хотя и не блещет оригинальностью, вполне неплох и добавляет мотивации для прохождения. Отдельно хочется отметить отличную работу со звуком и музыкой. Мелодии создают атмосферу и подчеркивают происходящее на экране. Единственный минус - немного короткая продолжительность. Хотелось бы больше контента и развития истории. В целом, это хорошая игра для любителей экшен-платформеров с элементами RPG. Рекомендую к ознакомлению!

[h1]Before I played Legend of the 9 Swords: Side Story, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
