Here’s
a original idea, play as a good demon name Firebard(I think
they also refer to him as a gargoyle) that tries to save humanity
defeating the Evil Phalxax and recover the six sacred stones
that allows the human world to merge with the demon world
(note: this game is not based on Christian beliefs, it’s
a Japanese thing). Doesn’t make sense to you? That’s
ok, the story is half-baked and lacking though the entire
game anyway. It never gives Phalxax a real motive why he wants
to merge the worlds so badly, just because he’ll become
the ‘ultimate power’?
It’s
different than most action platform games, it tries to incorporate
RPG elements in to the mix. They added ‘spells’,
and ‘potions’, but out of the entire game there
is only one towns person that you can talk to (excluding the
shops) It’s also tough as nails to beat. Don’t play
this game if you are short on patience, because this game
will test them! The animation however is excellent!
How Firebard moves and flies is a sight to be seen!
Firebard
can transform in to four different type of creatures each
with strengths and weaknesses, one is a stone giant, another
is a pterodactyl like creature, there is also a fish form
that allows you to swim under water, the final form mixes
all the forms into one neat package. I like the idea of transforming
into different creatures with different abilities and I wish
there where more games that had something similar to this.
Unfortunately
the level design is repetitive and boring in some areas, and
the fact that this game only has six levels (or areas), makes
it feel redundant! It’s a nice attempt at a platform
RPG but it just does not deliver a true RPG experience, no
character building, hardly any to talk to and you never get
to know Firebard the.. er.. um.. person(?), so you get the
feeling "why should I even care?". If your find
this game in a bargain bin or used store, it is worth the
purchase. BUT I WARN YOU NOW! Make sure you start
playing this game when you are bald, or you will pull all
you hair out in frustration!
