The Elquest | The Legend of Immortal Dremond

"The Elquest" is a very good mid-length classic old-school JRPG with turn-based (side-view) battles that I can recommend to anyone who likes these kinds of games and doesn't mind that the game was made by utilizing RPG Maker (VX Ace) software. In this game, the demon Dremond conquers the kingdom of Soharia and threatens to invade the rest of the world. Hideki, the former prince of Soharia, and his friends are forced to start a journey that takes them all over the world, following the footsteps of past heroes in order to find a way to stop Dremond. Despite a few twists, the story is pretty standard, but it's good enough to get the job done. What makes the story really shine, though, are the character dialogues between the initially spoiled, later rather naïve and idealistic go-getter Hideki, his loyal guard/sidekick – or rather "straight man" – Nice, love interest and "tomboy" Ellie and "gentleman thief" James in particular. Even though the player won't be able to prevent some tragic events, the tone is rather light-hearted in general, and many of the dialogues are funny, even outright hilarious, especially when examining objects in town, which means thorough players aren't only re…

i'ts a good Story with interesting characters. I just wish the drop rate was a bit higher, even though there's a small aid available for that. :)

Another bad one. Out of nowhere, you have to beat an arcade shooter to progress in a RPG. Didn't anyone think that was a bad idea? You already have an established combat system.
