amazon Agarest Generations of War Zero reviews
Japan has always been a famous game country, as well as the birthplace of a multitude of unique game genres that can delight players all over the world.
The special types of game “Japanese” that can be closed are also listed as Japanese turn-based role-playing (J-RPG), turn-based strategy, visual novel … And strangely enough, it all happened … in turn – perhaps partly because the people of the cherry blossom country have a rather slow, slow, cautious but effective lifestyle.
Incorporating the aforementioned famous game genres, many classics that once “on Top” on the console game market in the past, such as the Fire Emblem series, Super Robot War, Final Fantasy Tactics, or most recently Agarest: Generations of War are from Idea Factory and are released by Ghostlight LTD.
It’s hard to say Agarest: Generations of War was a success – because of the many objective factors that make the game particularly interesting for fans of old Japanese gaming traditions.
As for the majority of modern players, who are accustomed to the fast and vibrant pace of life, hardly anyone has the patience to sit and watch all the dialogue and events, as well as go through intense battles in the game, to realize the interesting of this game series.
Will the most recent version, Agarest: Generations of War Zero, change this situation, or at least bring some “positive” signals to the popularity of the game? All will be unraveled after a review of this Agarest: Generations of War Zero.
“The world of Agarest was created by the power of the 12 Gods, wishing it would become a Garden of Eden where races can coexist peacefully and happily. However, this miracle did not last long, when the Dark Spirit arose and declared war on his brothers.
The holy battle lasted thousands of years, and the world of Agarest suffered terrible losses from the mighty power of the gods. In the end, the hostile force was also destroyed, but the victorious side was not much more glorious, with only 6 gods remaining.
Grief-stricken by his flawless creation devastated by war, these six gods sacrificed their lives to create a miracle, restoring Agarest to its golden days. The era of the Gods ended since then, concluding a dramatic epic chapter about the chaotic times where people still fear the might of the gods.
From here on, man will have to usher in a new era at his own hands, deciding his destiny – and, sadly, other wars break out one after another, due to the lack of governance of the I, everyone wants to become the hegemon of the world … ”
This is a unique and unique element of “Visual Novel” that makes Agarest’s strength, urging people to play the game many times to find out who is the most ideal “life partner”.
Challenging classic role-playing gameplay: Matches in Agarest: Generations of War Zero will take place on checkerboard squares, and both us and enemy units will move and attack in turn. It would not be a new thing with the famous turn-based role-playing game genre if there were no new “spices”.
And with Agarest: Generations of War Zero, “spice” here is the “complete” combo that the characters will perform when arranging them to stand close together in certain orders. This is the greatest attraction when the battles in Agarest: Generations of War Zero will not be merely repeating, repeating the sequence of commands to move – attack … but also overwhelmed color, also eye-catching effects of “ultimate moves”.
The enemies in Agarest: Generations of War Zero are also not simple when later, in addition to the “terrible” units with much higher stats than the player, they also have the evil “moves” such as gathering fins attack and kill the weakest character or split the player’s lineup in a “divide and conquer” fashion.
This motivates players to compensate by plowing heavily to use their stats to partially counter the overwhelming enemy – and this is something veteran roleplayers must love.
The role-playing element in Agarest: Generations of War Zero is also shown through dialogues to increase the affection index with other characters in the team, to enhance combat effectiveness as well as affect only numbers and skills of “next life”. Unfortunately, compared to Generations of War, Agarest: Generations of War Zero has only two lives, in return the story of each life is much longer.
With the focus of “not touching” the nature of its Visual Novel, the characters in Agarest: Generations of War Zero are carefully invested and polished. The biggest plus point compared to Agarest: Generations of War is that now instead of just soulless stills, the heroic avatars in Zero can move “gently” like blinking, lip-syncing lines… to become more alive.
The character design and outfits have nothing to criticize. The characters in the game from Sieghart, the guy who loves girls Eugene, to the beauties who will later become Sieghart’s “mate” candidates, are all meticulously designed and soulful.
Each character in Agarest: Generations of War Zero seems to have their individuality, style, and a very own “I”.
Not to mention that the terrain in the game screen is completely just a flat surface and has no effect on the player’s stats or tactics.
The resolution of Agarest: Generations of War Zero is not really impressive, when the custom allows to reach the standard HD 1920 × 1080, the countless details in the game have “denounced” the way the graphics are handled very weaknesses of the game development team.
The combat images in Agarest: Generations of War Zero had to overdo the blurred effect to hide the jagged streaks and fragmentation of the original pixel. The great effects in Agarest: Generations of War Zero are only eye-catching at first when the player is “surprised” and easily captivated.
After going through hundreds, even thousands of repeated battles, the lack of vitality along with the “prehistoric” graphics will quickly make players lose their eyes! Combining clumsy 2.5D motion character models with 2D environments is not really a good idea.
