“Under the warmth of the enormous ring that embraces the planet, enveloped within the atmosphere charged with Soma, people slumber, awaken, and live”

Lately, the balance of Soma tipped, and a mysterious life form, called “visitors” appeared and people started to live in fear.

A very nice RPG
Since I love RPGs and I'm studying japanese, this game was a must buy for me. I was not disapponted at all! A nice cast of characters, an interesting story and a fitting soundtrack are what I most appreciated in this title. Try it and you won't regret it.

A masterpiece on the Nintendo DS
Wonderfully made background graphics, well rendered characters, beautiful music by famous composer Yasunori Mitsuda, a great narrative, and a well designed battling system... that's what awaits you in Soma Bringer, which easily ranks among the top 5 best RPGs the handheld has to offer.

It's definitely worth importing, especially since it got an almost complete fan translation.

Great game
It's a Xenosaga spiritual successor in design and music, although the game play is different. It's such unfortunate this game isn't released in US or Europe region. But it makes me eager to learn Japanese

A must have game for the DS console!
Great game, many customization options to everything in the game, I love the combat mode. Resembles something in between "Secret of Mana" and the "Diablo"-series.

Even though you may not know Japanese, this game is still very easy follow, just follow markers on your map and the story is telling itself, so it's very friendly for non-japanese speakers.

Very fun multiplaying mode, too bad it just supports for two others a (and they also need a seperate game card each)

New diffuculties and side quests and options of costumization makes this game a "Long living" game and will bring hours of joyfull gameplay.

Probably the best (new) RPG-game out for the DS.

A great game
A very solid game that I have no idea why it wasn't translated and brought to the US. It actually reminds me a lot of Diablo and those older PC RPGs, with the wide array of weapons and items to collect. The story is solid and the characters are wonderful. The art and graphics are wonderful as well - very vibrant yet detailed.

My favorite aspect is the music, which is by Yasunori Mitsuda (of Chrono games and Xenogears fame). It certainly contains an album you'd expect of the great composer.

Excellent game for DS.
This game is so good that many people who don't understand Japanese plays it anyway. The gameplay is real-time (and by real-time, I meant it's so real that the opponent can kill you while you're opening up the menu screen and looking at your HP going down and down)

With 3 difficulties (unlock the harder one by playing current one) and with 8 characters, classes and 8 Save slots (yes, eight.), you can practically play this game for 40++ hours or more! Not many DS game has this much replayability value.

The only drawback for this game is that it doesn't have Wi-Fi.

Don't know what's going on but who cares xD
Seriously, the battling is enough to keep you going - that's all I'm playing for atm haha. Replay-ability = super cause I mean quite a few characters to choose from and the classes are really nice too. You'll be hooked even if you don't understand where to go since the map will tell you who you need to talk to anyway! Buy it!

Amazing Action RPG for DS
This is a great Action RPG game on the DS system. The game looks beautiful with the cell-shading style on the characters. There are also several characters for you to choose and different weapon classes (which resembles the MH series weapons) such as, Sword and Shield, Great Sword, Lance, Hammer/Club, Bow, Guns and Staffs. There are tones of attributes and skills to customize your character. The game is fairly easy to understand but I do wish they will bring this title to the US so we can understand the story and enjoy the game to the fullest. Also the game is up to three player on multi-player.
