A fantastic replica of the Mega Man formula. Though the controls take some work to learn, and the story is nothing to write home about, the gameplay more than makes up for it.

Oddly, I found that the greater variety of things to do in this game made it less interesting than the original. That being said, it's still fun, chaotic, and whimsical throughout.

20XX was a masterpiece- this one is merely spectacular. Great music, great gameplay, just great everything.

This game is beautifully atmospheric and strangely addictive, considering that you never really seem to be working toward anything. Fair warning, though: the controls are weird and the tutorials aren't very helpful.

I really tried to like this game, but playing with family, everyone got bored between turns, and playing against bots was simply frustrating. Frankly, I'd recommend that you just go out and get a real board game.

I've long held that Chrono Trigger is the Citizen Kane of video games. This game is a worthy successor - fun, heartfelt and well made.

Fun, strangely sweet, and challenging, but never punishing, this is everything you could want from a top down Zelda style adventure. Highly recommend.

It's a little childish, but it's got good mechanics and enemy variety, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. A thoroughly decent little brawler.

I love this game, but it's hugely padded out with massive areas full of copy/pasted enemies, and quite a lot of items and abilities are impossible to find. It's a great story with innovative gameplay, it's just spread way too thin.

I'm not normally into these kind of work sims, but this has a fantastic sense of humor and a "just one more mission" quality that keeps me constantly coming back
