What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"Orphen is a good game. For an action Rpg it comes a little short, but for an Rpg with the emphasis on the story, it does fairly well."
"
"I almost hesitate to call Orphen an RPG. Unlike many traditional RPGs, the player is not limited to exploration in a strictly two-dimensional plane. On a number of occasions, Orphen takes on the appearance of a 3D platform title..."
"I wouldnt, in good conscience, recommend a purchase without trying it first, but in contrast to the technically problematic Summoner and the fairly lackluster Evergrace and Eternal Ring, Orphen really isnt all that bad..."
"Orphen is a 3D action game in the style of Zelda, with plenty of fighting , puzzle solving, and other goodness."
"The game's most endearing aspect is its battle system. Drawing obvious inspiration from Panzer Dragoon Saga, among other games, Orphen's combat is a sort of hybrid real-time/turn-based system that most jaded console RPG gamers should find most refreshing."
