Video Game Reviews of Albert Odyssey
Customer Review: Pure RPG gold!
Summary: 5 Stars
Man do I love this game! Both the game and soundtrack are as rare as dinosaur fossils and you'd best congratulate yourself if you ever get your hands on either. I was first drawn to this RPG through old 1990's magazine editions of EGM and GamePlayer. I mostly had my eyes on how unique the party members were since it's composed of an interesting cast of heroes:
Pike: A silent young man with a magical talking sword
Eka: A dancer girl with a sharp tongue and great magic skills
Leos: A shinto priestess with great strength and mystical powers
Gryzz: My all time favorite character, a godly powerful humanoid dragon samurai with just about every dragon breath weapon known to dragonkind
Amon: A humanoid bird with exceptional speed and spearfighting abilities
Kia: A cute and powerful spellcasting girl with a kind heart and an amusing wit
What a crew! The game's battle system, though simple, has that old school feel many of us remember from the old days. The spells in this game have amazing animations for one of the older games of its time and the boss battles are VERY challenging. Even power leveling in this RPGs does not make any boss fight easier. Most bosses in this game have absurd amounts of HP and pretty much force you to throw everything you've got at them to win. One boss in particular kept me going for over an hour in battle and he was a dangerous one I might add. The music is pretty good too (a theme for just about every situation in the game), especially considering no one's remotely heard of Naoki Kodaka.
I only wish, after playing this great game, that Working Designs would sequel it already. I know there were two AOs before this one but they are completely different in gameplay in comparison to this one.
Note: An interesting bit of info about this AO's story. This game is actually a side story you hear about in one of the previous AO games, heard from a villager who simply mentions he saw "a young man leading an interesting band of allies somewhere."
