Ironically, the first boss in the game is most difficult by far. Ultimately, it was fun to play tho.ĭifficulty - It feels balanced. The combat is engaging and satisfying enough, but it's just not really used to its full potential. I think the hit-detection gets confused sometimes, so you'll miss hits alot (not rng "misses", but just straight up missing the target). While I enjoy Mana style combat, there was something a little off with this. This is something I appreciate more and more as I get older.Ĭombat - This is a mixed bag. It doesn't overstay its welcome and I completed it all in about 16 hours total. It's very charming, doesn't take itself too seriously and moves at a good pace. You take a typical everyday movie loving kid, throw a weapon in his hands and he and his dog become murder machines lol. It's no FF6, but I didn't expect it to be. Plot/Story/Characters - This is pretty good as well. Music/Sound fx - There's some bangers in here There's some humor, puns, a sense of danger/unease at times, all wrapped up in an intriguing dark fantasy. It's a very dark game (literally its hard to see sometimes), but it has a fantastic variety of environments. The atmosphere and game world - This is top notch. The nostalgia was really strong, and I believe its genuinely a good game. Parts of the game I completely forgot about, and I certainly unlocked a whole lot of memories too.
The game gave me such a feeling of the warm fuzzies. But it's one I've wanted to replay for a long time.Īfter just finishing it, I would say it was worth playing through again. It's not a game that is mentioned a lot with the SNES. It's a game that crosses my mind every so often. That was the last time I played it, well over 25yrs ago. Since I borrowed the game, when I eventually finished it I gave it back. The game influenced my play outside where I pretended to rule over my own Evermore kingdom (with its own marketplace too of course). I remember the world in that game feeling so very alive and lived in.
I remember thinking that the marketplace in Nobilia was MASSIVE and was lost in it all day. I loved that it had different time periods. I remember the game really capturing my imagination at the time. I played this one way before I knew anything about Secret of Mana (and I didn't play that one until I was closer to High School when I snagged a copy of that game for myself). One of the games he let me borrow was Secret of Evermore. A couple friends of mine started to get me into JRPGs and into other types of games. I didn't have any gaming magazines and I my knowledge was fairly limited. Most of my gaming experience was with platform, action and arcade games. I first played Secret of Evermore in 6th grade, back in mid/late 90s.
