Liege Dragon is a turn-based RPG revealed by KEMCO. It has all of the role-playing components you can ask for: an unlimited world to discover, loads of enemies to defeat, and a celebration of characters to play. It sounds nice, however let’s see if it’s actually as enjoyable because it appears.
I’ve performed my fair proportion of RPGs from KEMCO, akin to Miden Tower and Asdivine Kamura. There isn’t a lot distinction between these KEMCO video games by way of gameplay. Most role-playing video games embrace the identical components, akin to battles, magic, exploring worlds, and the like. However it’s how these components are proven in another way that make an RPG sparkle for me. Liege Dragon was simply okay for me. It’s not essentially as a result of it was so much like the opposite video games I’ve already performed, but it surely was bland by itself.
The sport begins with a too-long narration about its backstory. I finished studying it about midway by and, despite the fact that I might have skipped it, I let it go simply to see how lengthy it was. Six minutes later, I used to be in a position to start the sport.
There are numerous cutscenes and dialogue to learn, which is okay, however I a lot would have rathered performed the sport, explored the world, and battled enemies. For an RPG, there have been too many reduce scenes for me. The characters weren’t all that attention-grabbing, both. They’d clichéd personalities, and I wasn’t excited about their story a lot. I gained’t get into the story, although, as a result of spoilers.
The battles have been okay. The characters might use a fundamental assault or use magic. The magic is realized by elemental crystals, which you obtain from profitable battles. Every spell wants a certain quantity of crystals to be understood by one character. There are 4 components: water, wind, hearth, and earth. There are 4 characters, so I gave every of them one component to concentrate on.
The enemies have their strengths and weaknesses to the weather. So, earth assaults labored properly with water-based enemies. To determine the weaknesses, it was both trial and error there was a wind-element assault you can use. Total, the enemies have been simple sufficient to defeat. That’s the common enemies – not the bosses or mini-bosses.
Liege Dragon will not be a sport to breeze proper by. The bosses are robust, and it’s a must to grind lots. Your characters have little protection, and one of many early bosses will wipe your workforce out in a single hit. Even with essentially the most sturdy tools on (that you just get from boss fights, discover on the planet, or purchase), it’s essential to grind for ranges; your protection and HP gained’t final lengthy towards these bosses.
Contemplating the battles aren’t that enjoyable – enemies are in a cluster collectively, and your characters are simply photos on the backside of the display – this was annoying. There’s an auto characteristic for the battles, however the characters aren’t that sensible. They’ll solely use common assaults. It wasn’t too unhealthy to make use of for grinding, although.
I preferred the graphics and the general world. The character sprites have been charming (the females had garments on), and the world was enjoyable to discover. The music was good too, however the soundtrack was restricted. There have been songs for intense scenes, battles, chill scenes, and the like. However the identical track for every environment performed all through the sport. That is extra of a nit-pick, however I might have preferred slightly extra selection.
Total, Liege Dragon isn’t too unhealthy of a sport. Simply be ready to grind lots and throw many hours into it if you wish to make it to the tip.
