[Multiplatform] Vandal Hearts: Flames of oh god what is that

Damn, I was going to make a thread about this too. I'm a fan of Vandal Hearts too, and playing this was a real treat. They consistently had the blood splatter down too! And I already had something like 2000 MP to spend so buying this 1200 MP deal was no trouble.

There were several things that paid homage to the old vandal hearts on ps1 and made some of it better by letting you see which enemies' turns are in order (like Grandia II). Don't worry, it won't be like Vandal Hearts II to where you don't have both parties moving at the same time. (Although, that game was a blast for a real serious challenge.)

Another would be adding a menus system so you could check out who's who/locations' history and especially each character's efficiency stats with their weapons (bow to a hammer!) and their magic.

I haven't had the chance to hear the music yet but the graphics are alright and doable. Regarding about the plot, I'm only on the second stage, which I totally restarted so I could get that those chests! As a warning, I should say that whenever you see a chest in a level, GET it. I found out that when I killed all of those wolves in the second stage and noticed there's two chests on the far side of the map, none of us could get there in time without being able to pass the requirement of that level the wounded girl will keep on bleeding, losing health as each turn passes on and you cannot heal her. I figured I could go back since its a level you could free battles on which is confirmed. But ONLY ONE chest was still there! o.o' One of the two that was still in its same spot, but the other was just gone. So beware of this when you're going for chests.

Core (most of) exp is gained from killing/finishing an enemy, and your weapon/magic levels up too from their use. I haven't gotten the chance to witness all sorts of differences in how magic/weapons work, but if they each has a space challenge to it, it'll be interesting. For example, the hammer you can swing in all four sides of you and hit friend or foe! And yes, archers can gain a higher ground bonus to their attack.

There's so much that I already loved it for a prequel to Vandal Hearts. Buy it, play it, love it!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
