I will seriously shut up about this game after this.
Front Mission(NDS by way of necromancy)
Square/Enix (but who are we kidding, it’s a Square game from over a decade ago)
In a nutshell: Highly customizable mechanized wargame that’s worth a look if you like gritty sci-fi and/or micromanaging of large armies.
Or guys named Peewee.
HEROSCAPE: THE BATTLE OF ALL TIME
Milton Bradley/Hasbro (no console- WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE)
In a nutshell: I really want to play a strategy RPG, but my hometown has no electricity!
Luminous Arc (NDS)
2007 Atlus/Marvelous
In a Nutshell: A shallow, but adequate strategy RPG. Spoiler alert! The Church is actually kinda evil!
Transformers: Decepticons
Activision, NDS 2007
In a nutshell: After a series of dismal-to-passable attempts, finally a Transformers game that’s fun past its own nostalgia/novelty. Also, it’s good to be evil. Definitely worth playing if you don’t mind iffy DS 3D rendering. (Wait for the console edition is you do mind.)
Lunar Knights
2006 Konami (NDS)
In a nutshell: Some generic anime protaganist and Slash from Waku Waku 7 (so, a generic anime badass) fight vampires- IN THE FUTURE! Good game, awkward isometric play. Overall good if you liked old-school Metal Gear, but the shooting levels fall flat. Read the rest of this entry »
