I did alot to get this game. :)
I was so far. i was on the final boss. I was going to do it. i knew how. anyway
this game rocks!
the graphics are a bit EARLY PS2 but that's what u wud expect.
when i played this on a demo i hunted everywhere to try and find it. it wasn't in any game shops. i went to GAME and i asked if they had it. they had a very old, pre-owned copy of Dark Cloud. I bought it.
i took it home.
i played it.
i loved it.
The gameplay is incredible! So many monsters with different attributes, weapons, items, vulnerabilities and resistances to fire, wind, ice, thunder and the other one you get. You can eat food to replenish your health, use a wide variety of weapons, swords, magical rings, hammers, slingshots, staffs, projectiles and magical items. you can find rare gems in the back of dungeons. you can find a special key to get to the back of a dungeon that has tougher monsters and greater rewards within the treasure chests. the rewards may be new rare weapons, special gems that can be used to enhance your fire, wind, thunder or ice powers, it can harness your swords power to make it more effective against different kinds of monsters such as plants or rock monsters or demons. Huge variety of items. great fun! and it's a very long game with over 60 hours of gameplay. Great boss fights with cool cutscenes. the story is simply amazing! you can even rebuild cities and villages with the special energy you collect in dungeons. you can play as different characters and they all have different traits and attributes. pretti good combat system. allies use different weapons and different combat. they can use combination attacks or can build up power for a super attack. you can repair your weapons using repair powder bag wich i think is a VERY COOL IDEA wich makes the game more innovative. you can even upgrade your weapons and turn them into special energy spheres which you can place on your other weapons which makes them noticably more powerful. I once was able to upgrade a Sun Sword into a +12 Sword of Zeus wich is incredibly powerful! A great range of weapons! GREAT RANGE! many shops to spend your money in for special weapons, food, items, keys, powder, supplies, gems and other super cool stuff! you can sell stuff u find too to buy more stuff! the anime is sweet! The weapon system is very good. you can use slowness, poison, frozen and curse amulets to protect yourself from special attacks with only a handful of enemies can do. it can get aggrevating sometimes but thats OK. thats what makes a game more challenging. and you have missions to do from people in the villages like placing their houses near the windmills or other places and you get a special reward for it. thats really cool there are 7 main worlds i do believe. and they all have great detailing and other neat traits.
The music fits great into challenging boss fights! The boss fights are really inventive when fighting ultimate demonic spawns, skeleton kings or mutant snakes! You can even do cool duels sometimes which can be greatly rewarding! if u do the duel perfectly u are awarded a magical gem wich can be used for your weapon. a duel is a sequence of buttons you need to press to beat a certain enemy or beat a certain trap such as jumping across unstable platforms. the cutscenes are AMAZING! the STORY IS AMAZING!
This is without a DOUBT one of the GREATEST RPG GAMES EVER! EVER!
I wish they would make a Dark Cloud or maybe even a RPG that is so simliar to this incredible video game for portable platforms.
Dark Cloud was amazing!
