The RPG X Edge (read: Cross Edge) brings characters from Mana Khemia 2, Atlier Marie, Spectral Force and Disgaea together in a new fantasy world and have them aid the protagonists Yuuto and Mikoto in their adventures.
Upon being transported to this strange other dimension, Yuuto and Mikoto are attacked by monsters.
After surviving the onslaught, a mysterious girl approaches them, telling them that she has been waiting for their coming for ages.
The strange dimension they have been transported to is a place where souls gathered. However, unlike the most people, some are trapped in the world with an extremely slim chance of escaping.
Once they are completely trapped, their physical counterpart in the real world will cease to exist. To survive elimination, the hero and gang set off to assist the mysterious girl in her mission of freeing the souls.
Only for JRPG fans Style of play is fairly unique, but takes quite some time to get used to before one is able to chain combos or deal huge damage. The large cast of characters retaining their quirks is also a plus, though the premise of the game requires a typical suspension of belief. Searching for all the hidden extras to unlock the "true end" was also more annoying rather than tedious.
Those who dislike or have no experience with JRPGs would do well to stay away from this game
Kinda what I have expected Well, first of all the game doesn't have the graphic to match up to any PS3 games. It is still a game to enjoy if you don't mind watching your pixelated character walking around and fighting.
Quite Enjoyable This game is like, one of my dream games that i had always wished for, a cast with lots of female characters, being able to change the female cast's costume and etc.
The game got a pretty large cast so you can mix and match to you're liking. Another great feature about this game is that as you go further into the story, you can obtain costume for your female characters to change to which i reckon is pretty awesome. Some of the cutscenes are hilarious especially when they contain the Prinny (i love them prinnies).
The gameplay can be simple or complicated depending on how you wanna play. building up combos and doing special combo moves is pretty cool feature of the game.
I personally found the story somewhat disappointing because you get an abundance of characters joining your party at the same time, which doesn't give you an awful lot of time to enjoy each one but hey thats just me =].
Overall, the game is enjoyable and is recommended for people who are fans of JRPG or fans of the characters that is featured in the game. OH and if you do play, start off at Hard mode for abit of a challenge.
good game a game and engaging and exciting, with many characters and variety of attacks and spells, the graphics leave something to be desired, but recommend.
Could be better! The Crossovers, those meetings that mix characters from different universes, is the dream of every fan and have proven to be highly successful events, from comic to cinema, through the games as well. Capcom is a company that made school with that in their series of fighting mainly, as in "Marvel vs. Capcom, and now the Idea Factory to try too, but in an RPG.
The project was "Cross Edge," a very traditional game that features the characters York and Miko in a story beyond confusing which puts them in a kind of limbo blowing parallel dimensions and places them face to face with famous characters from other producers games. It is a plot completely senseless that serves as an excuse to dump heroes in games like Darkstalkers, "Disgaea", "Ar Tonelico," "Absolute Blazing", "Mana Khemia, Atelier Marie" and "Spectral Souls" without any criteria or care.
He was so eager to flood the game with a lot of people it is hard to understand who is doing what in the script, what are their motivations, dramas and purposes. It is a serious problem that dilutes the narrative and destroys the main asset of any game genre. Soon you if you press buttons to accelerate the dialogue and go straight to action, to see if things improve a little.
Struggles work in shifts, in which the player must use their points of attack to achieve the enemies scattered tables marked on the floor of the setting and switch between heroes quickly to amend combos. It is a combat system very robust, but it also suffers from the confusion of design. There is much to do, such as making items, exchange of clothes that give special powers and revenues to be discovered, to name a few things, but the interface is extremely polluted, difficult to navigate. Even the tutorial to get a little afraid to make a ridiculous amount of menus on the time to explain what to do.
If everything in the game seems too complex, you can not say the same presentation. There is a mixture of 2D graphics with old-fashioned 3D scenarios poor, without any kind of detail, and some uninspired dialogue - available in English and Japanese. All this running with a performance below the critical, even with the content installed on the hard disk of the device.
CONSIDERATIONS
"Cross Edge" seemed the dream of every fan of Japanese games, since it brings together characters from various games worshiped as "Darkstalkers", "Disgaea" and "Ar tonelico" in an RPG unique. But the final product is disappointing, with a troubled history, complicated interface and presentation too poor by today's standards.
