Wii game review: Arc Rise Fantasia
This weekend I started to play a really exciting Wii game: Arc Rise Fantasia.
The game is a very traditional JRPG, including the fact that the main character wears red clothes.
Battle mechanics are a mix of turns and strategy games, i.e., you may be the first to act but if you’re a knight you still have to approach your enemy to deliver an attack, and during this time a mage may have time to cast a quick spell to hurt you.
The story is about a legionnaire called L’Arc (L’Arc Bright Lagoon). His personal motivation is very simple: earn money (spoiler: to cure his sick mother). In order to accomplish that he started to work as mercenary. After a fight with a Feldragon, he ends by meeting a girl called Ryfia and the adventures begin.
Speaking more about the game mechanics, I found that the missions side-quest and the abilities attached to weapons keeps the character evolution process very interesting.
By this moment, I played for about 10 hours and can’t say more about the game, but my first opinion is that Arc Rise Fantasia is a great RPG for Wii owners. Get a copy if you have a chance, you won’t regret it.
