NCS Game Notes
» Name entry for the party members may be inputted in katakana, hiragana, or English letters. » The game starts in the Adventurer's Guild located in Central City. Your first job is to create your party from scratch and then name each member. Next, position the party members in the front or back and you're free to explore the world. » Places to visit include the Palace of Raggard, Steel Shiny Sharks Bar, Shitota Training Post, Royal Herbal Academy, and the Flos Inn. Once you're done exploring the town, head for the Forest Entrance and go into the wilderness Koseki no Jyukai. » The top NDS screen shows the view of the game world from the perspective of the traveling party while the touch screen shows an overhead map of the area. The map legend is in English with notes for Up, Down, and Party Map. The menu during an enemy encounter is also in English with the following selections: ATTACK
DEFENCE (Note the British style spelling)
SKILL
ITEM
CHANGE
ESCAPE » You may toggle the fighting to automatic by pressing the L-Trigger. The party will then fight until the monsters are all slain. The automated function is "dumb" and mindless however and won't take wounded party members into account and heal them as they head towards death. » The party faces the monsters during a battle and the screen shakes Phoenix-Wright style when blows land. » The Sekaiju no Meikyuu 2 game is in the style of Wizardry and the early Might & Magic games where the walls flow pass the party when they're traveling. The visual presentation is well done and fans of the old school RPGs will be right at home here. This document is ©NCSX 2008. All rights reserved.
