Lots of fun and action packed into a 'standard' RPG format
BFM is a third person, action RPG. The battles occur as you walk around (except in town) and occur in place (no fade to battle scene). You can see enemies and thus try to avoid instead of fight. You can use either sword. Assimilation allows you to steal an enemy’s special ability and use it. There is a 24-hour clock that keeps track of time. The town stores open only during certain hours of the day. You get tired if awake too long. Certain health giving items like milk expire after a few days. + Damage points appear overhead after hit.
+ Assimilation of abilities is cool.
- Sleeping recovers health, allows you to move faster but you have to watch him sleep! Understandable, because otherwise you would sleep all the time to recover health at no penalty, but jeez!
- Polygon clipping/pop-up problems.
