  • Storyline-7.5

In a small village called Holt, a young human man named Adell lives his demon parents and siblings. They have been turned into demons because of a curse casted by an Overlord named Zenon over the Netherworld. Adell is the only one who has remained a human. In the opening scene, Adell's mother performs a summoning ritual in hopes to summon Overlord Zenon so they can kill him and break the curse, but instead summons Rozalin. Rozalin introduces herself as the princess and daughter of Overlord Zenon and shows the royal seal of Zenon. Because of the seemingly failed ritual, Adell plans to find Overlord Zenon himself in a quest with the help from Rozalin and other characters throughout the game.

  • Gameplay-8.5

The Gameplay is amazing.

The max level in the game is 9999,yes thats no typo its 9999,you summon units to the stage just like any SRPG you can summon at most 8 each character class is unique and has special abilities,Damage is not capped unlike most RPG's you can pull off amazing damage over 100,000 HP,at first the game seems tame and easy but as you move higher and higher in the special parts of the game such as Land of Carnage and Item World you'll realize why this game is so popular.

You can Lift party members up,pull off combos,and learn techniques to power up your characters to the maximum

  • Controls-7.5

The Control Scheme is pretty simple nothing really complicated,move with the control nub,select with x.

  • Graphics-7.5

The Graphic's in the game merge 3d with 2d anime-ish Character Models,they show emotion when the story takes its crazy twists.

Most story cut scenes have the character image and text the character besides does move to show emotions

  • Sound-8.5

The Music is great the original BGM fits the mood of each battle and speical Characters have special BGM's ((Such as Laharls theme)) and if you ever want to listen to music you loved simply go to the Music Store,by the Subpeona npc.
