Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of the time 8/10

A short review. 

Great story. Those games which failed terribly at putting the icon of angels usage in rpgs should learn from this. Those which failed terribly at coming up with war plots should learn from this. Those who failed terribly at making gamers feel something for the death of characters should learn from this. Those games which failed terribly at making villains who are brillant(you know which ones I'm pointing the finger at) should learn from this. Those games which failed at creating engrossing storylines to reach the target play time and ended up having to drag for at least 10 hours chasing after someone or something in one round around the world should learn from this. 

Decent gameplay. No matter how many times I play the older Growlansers, I still can't bring myself to like the ring system. To each his own. But battles are pure fun. Some are quite challenging though. Controls are good.

Graphics are okay, 2D. Voice-acting is nice. As usual, this game is not perfect, but it's definitely great. I just don't like how by the end of the game, half of your significant characters(those with portraits drawn for them) are dead. When Alphonce died, I spent hours crying...alright nevermind.

Fav characters: Alphonce
Most hated character: Crestfer
