Blue Dragon Plus is a fun game with good presentantion, but it is way too simple for it own good.
Blue Dragon Plus is a real time strategy game with role-playing elements.
The game has a good presentantion and use a great number of cutscenes. The in-game graphics are just plain, nothing special through.
The music is great and awe-inspiring, believe it or not, the music may and will be the main reason for the enjoyment factor, it just fits in perfectly.
Storyline is a bit weak, it has an original start, but the main theme of it, the shadows, is now banalized. The shadows are a source of power that exists inside some people, the story suggest that previously, only a few people could get it, either from hardworking to awake the shadow or from other special method, now everyone has a shadow, you blink, you can use the shadow, rocks have shadows, even your keyboard can use a shadow.
Don't expect the storyline to be epic or something, the main character looks like a fisherman's son, don't inspires courage or anything, just a boy who happened to be there at the wrong time and get involved at all of this.
Gameplay is basically like any real-time strategy on Nintendo DS with some rpg twists, a watered down style of real time strategy games that works simply by selecting units and sending them to attack while you wait for the dumb AI to not make dumb moves or lure a strong enemy that you're not supposed to fight yet.(while it sometimes does, it can correct his wrong move in a few seconds.)
Blue Dragon Plus is a fun game, you might like it, expend a few hours playing, but after finishing you will possibly set it aside, good for some mindless fun through.
