Title: Riviera: The Promised Land
Post by: Valkyrie on December 05, 2005, 02:45:15 am
I had recently picked this up at EB Games ('cause wally world and Best Buy dont have it) and I must say that It's one of the best strategy RPG's that I have played in a long time.

So what it is, is a pair of Grim Angels, Ein and Ledah, go in for some major butt kicking, but stuff happens and I dont want to give it away.
I must say that It does have some awesome music and the details are superb, except for the semi-repetive backgrounds, but it's too cool for those to matter. I recomend that If you have a GBA you should get this, if your into rpg's and the like.

Wait, what? You bought an Atlus game that was released months ago, brand new?

Did this get a second printing or something? I find it odd, Atlus always prints a short run and then stops completely...

I guess that I was just fortunate or something. They only had 3 copies left.

I keep seeing this game whenever I type in Fire Emblem on Amazon. Is it as fun at Fire Emblem? I  might consider getting it since I'm getting a Gameboy Player for my gamecube this Christmas.

The best way, albeit illegal, to find out is to download the rom and play it. It's a good game, but it's got a bunch of design flaws that make me angry. Like the space limit in your backpack... or the fact that missions are way. too. long.

I still haven't beaten the game 'cause of that.

Wow, you think the missions are long?
You must be doing too many practice battles or something.

The genre is kinda similar (people with swords) but I'm not sure Fire Emblem is that much like Riviera.

Not that many. I mostly have to do them to, you know, gain levels. :P
