Enchanted Arms

"An element of repetition does set in as you work out your go-to moves and establish a system for getting to them, but the random starting positions and variety of seeing just how each battle will work out keeps things interesting. It's by no means an unfamiliar appeal. The PS2 library contains countless similar games, each with its own clique of followers. And in that vein Enchanted Arms will likely earn its share of fans as well, but even they may not be exactly sure why they're playing it on a "new-gen" console."

"Enchanted Arms is a capable and often enjoyable role-playing game, but it's also one that you'll likely forget as soon as you finish it."

"If you're looking for a solid, turn-based RPG, then you could do far worse than Enchanted Arms. The good options for auto fighting, fast forwarding through battles and scores of golems to hunt are brought down by several unfortunate shortcomings. The battle system is generic and battles occur far too often for their own good, making for gameplay that can get boring at times. The story delivery needs a complete overhaul, starting with the character's dialogue. Still, for traditional RPG fans, the good will outweigh the bad and an enjoyable experience is there for the taking."

"I appreciated the many conveniences of the battle system and the game as a whole, and I was pleased with the challenge of most boss battles. I loathe end-game level grinds, but that may just be a personal gripe."
