Evermore has a hugely underrated soundtrack filled with wonderfully moody music, a storyline that is entertaining and camp all across the board, a nice world design, and quite frankly was purely enjoyable. I will never understand the frothing-at-the-mouth hatred so many people display for it.

I agree with you Deni. People continually ride Evermore with that sort of slant, but it has so many qualities. The magic system in the game was both fun and original and it made me love the game that much more. Easily one of the better games on the SNES. Does it stack up against a game like Secret of Mana? No, but that hardly makes it a bad game by any means.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
