Glory of Heracles NDS (The JRPG that's been lost but now found)

Glory of Heracles

Nintendo finally sees the JRPG light finally by porting over the 5th in this unknown series. Glory of Heracles originally started on the Famicom! (NES!) Just like Fire Emblem and it's coming to America after being ignored for so many years.

And it's coming to North America, next month!

So... this has come out... is anyone interested in this game?


I am not really sure what this game is about... it looks interesting though... I've heard a lot.

I have it. It's a very traditional RPG. Random enemy encounters, the main character has amnesia. You know, the norm. I got this for $30 today from Best Buy. Because of the deal, I also got Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story for $20 with it. I haven't played a whole lot of Glory of Heracles though. Just the beginning. I love Greek mythology, so I was drawn to this game. I also love traditional RPGs, or rather, RPGs in general.

The battle system uses both screens. The touch screen is used in short mini-game like scenes to power up special moves or magic. The touch screen also shows you a form of grid combat, though in the early part there's no real strategy needed (I'm sure later on this will play a big part though). On the touch screen, the characters are represented by sprites. The upper screen is where you see the 3-Dish (kind of a unique look) version of your characters and enemies.

My only complaint so far is slow-down while turning the camera in the overworld. Though, I would consider this more nit-picking.
