New Review Posted: Makai Kingdom

Brad Gallaway reviews Makai Kingdom, and thinks that it's a valuable successor to its predecessors:

"By now everyone's heard of the surprise Strategy Role-Playing Game (SRPG) smash Disgaea. Developers Nippon Ichi made a name for themselves overnight with Disgaea's mix of humor and excellently localized dialogue, immensely deep customization, and solid tactics play. It sent a jolt to players and reminded them that this thinning niche hadn't died quite yet. However, their subsequent releases have failed to keep the momentum going with the same meteoric impact. But, despite the slightly dimmer limelight, their most recent release is an excellent return to form and a better game in many ways than the one that started their instant dynasty."

Just what makes it so good? Find out here.

Re: New Review Posted: Makai Kingdom

Good review! I have an unopened copy on the shelf that, for some reason, i repeatedly refused to sell to would-be suitors. Glad I didn't give it up -- now I just need to play it.

Re: New Review Posted: Makai Kingdom

Brad, are you serious about Phantom being your least favorite release of NI? Have you forgotten about Generation of Chaos?

Heh, i actually didn't count Generation of Chaos since it was only published by NI, not really produced by them, though technically i think you have a point. ; )
