Shadow Hearts: Covenant Top Quality


Ok so these are impressions after beating game:

STORY: Really ok. Story contains adult humor in dialogues, and in cameos recognizable to gaming audience.

Lot of real characters from that history period are here, too. Come on, how many RPG games are NOT like 'Once upon a time there was a princess, who was captivated by big bad dragon' ? This is only one that is set in early 20th century.

GRAPHICS: Really good, great movies. It takes you back 100 years ago.

BATTLE: No classes for characters, although some are better magic users than others etc...there are harmonixers, who are persona-like users. Boss battles are something that you can't muscle out, you have to think how to beat them, especially last fusion boss for Yuri. I really enjoyed fights.

PUZZLES: Great, not too difficult. Made to make you enjoy them.

FLAW: Flaw is in game design. Important things are at unimportant locations. Sometimes you have to go out and get back in and then discover something. You have to read FAQ all the times. It is ok (in my opinion) to put bonuses into some god forgotten places, but basing gameplay on this is what made me not give it four stars...

This is a continued story from Shadow Hearts one and it would be good to play that first. Oh, and beat both endings before you put it on your shelf.Get more detail about Shadow Hearts: Covenant.
