Summon Night: Twin Age (NDS)

Photobucket

Yay a Summon Nights game! I'm a big fan of Atlus and I've rarely been disappointed by them so let's see how the new installment in the series did.

Gameplay: The game handles like most action RPGs on the DS. The top screen displays maps and other information while the lower touch screen controls and shows all the action. You'll move fight and manage party related abilities and items. The touch controls handle well as you move between the 2 main characters. Its fun and interactive. 4/5

Story:
The story differs slightly depending on which of the 2 characters you choose as your main. The main plot goes along the lines of the spirits that exist in the world and their relationship to humans and to the more spiritual clan of what I can only assume are rabbit/wolf people. The Humans subjugate the spirits causing them to eventually go berzerk sending the world into turmoil and its upto you to fix it. 4/5

Graphics:
The art is attractive if not a bit fluffy, but the general graphics of the game feel a bit lacking. There's a lot more they could have done. Areas look attractive but they start to all bleed together and stop really popping out as you progress through them. The spells and special attacks are good but there really is only a few of them just recolored or slightly altered. 2/5

Audio:
The game has the occassional voice acting and some good music but it also seems to lack. The music flows well but quickly ends up more fluffy and annoying than anything. After a few to many squeaks and war calls from the characters you'll most likely turn the sound off all together. 2/5

Replay:
The game has a pretty good story and a good game system and despite some unattractiveness its still fun, but I wouldn't say beat it more then once. 3/5

Overall:
The game is fun and is definitely worth picking up, but I don't see a reason to add this to any collections, but if you like a fun light heart RPG with low difficulty and you can forgive a few audio and graphic errors its a pretty god game.
