Luminous Arc (Nintendo DS, 2007)

It has a good story, cute looking chars and a nice gameplay once you get used to.
As a turn based RPG it lacks complexity on skills, spells and equipments but still it's a nice game to play.
But don't expect glowy and shinny effects as you'd get in the final fantasy series. Anyway I like it, hope you can enjoy it too.

Luminous Arc lacked the depth it needed to equal Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Although it is playable and fun till then with a decent storyline, It doesn't have the ongoing push to better your player through level ups, weapon mastery, and mastering different skills. Overall I would recommend it for anyone who loves turn based RPG style games.

this is one of the best games i have played in a long time, i have been playing RPG games my entire life from Alundra to Zelda, and this is in the top 10 for me.

I saw a new game was coming out called "Luminous Arc 2" that looked like fun, but I needed to play the first one first.

RPGs are really my thing and I've really come to enjoy tactical ones.

I found there to be much to be desired from this game, but even the predictable plot and pretty art work makes it overall a fun game to play.

I'm not one for turn based strategies, and this is no exception. With the exception of actual voice overs, this game is bland and bleek. The learning curve takes time, and the isometric system is a bad representation of three-demensional engineering.

Rating: Typical.
