This is everything I had hoped that it would be. After playing through 'Labyrinth of Refrain', 'Labyrinth of Galleria' and dipping my toes into the 'Etrian Odyssey' game, I'm really liking this genre of games. However, unlike the three titles I just stated this one isn't like them in one key way. The battles are live time action! You don't go into a separate battle-like screen like in original RPG games, in Amberland you fight the monsters live time, but in a turn based fashion. Very good set up, and one of the main reasons I'm instantly giving this game a recommendation. Game play feels nice, looking forward to playing this and the second game more in the future.
