Secret of Evermore (Super Nintendo, 1995)

If you enjoy Snes style rpg’s then you will love Secret of Evermore. I loved playing the game so much that I made a guide for it. I had way more fun playing this game than Secret of Mana or Chrono Trigger. I think peoples favorites are in the timing of when they played the game; having said this, this game would be fun anytime. I really liked the storyline, and the way it looked, along with one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. It is a huge world with so much to do and see.
Play this game you will be happy you did.

I remember Secret of Evermore. One of my eldest brothers had given it to me. I was probably 7 or 8 when he gave it to me. I remember playing that game for hours, and I mean hours on end. I wouldnt eat dinner until I got to a point to where I was mostly shopping for better armor and goods!

The basic idea is pretty good. Its slightly realistic about a dog running into a house and his owner following him, getting him into trouble.

The characters were believable, each story of every major character was amazingly good.

The boss battles were unique and some were pretty difficult (the forsaken chess board got me a lot back then as well as the swamp serpent).

The battle system was to me, revolutionary, because it made use of todays RPGs (Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, WoW, etc) fighting systems but in a basic format to which was easy to use.

Some of the objectives were pointless but helped in the end.

I love the idea of the different time zones (starting in pre-historic times, to what appears to be a form of Ancient Egypt or Rome, to an ancient form of medieval times, to the future.) And each had a different effect on your dog.

Overall, the game is great, as said in my title, I wish I had not lost it in Kentucky when I was 10. I still have the SNES, but not the game, I may have to get it here lol.

I love the entire series , well until legend of mana of course but, went downhill from there. I loved all the games for the snes.

This is one of the greatest games of all time by one of the best gaming companies ever established (before they went under for that Final Fantasy movie). It has an extremely compelling storyline with multiple twists and turns that keep you playing for hours upon hours. It also has one of the most intuitive "spell" setups in any game utilized through alchemy. There are literally over a hundred different alchemy combinations for you to find, collect, and cast throughout the game and each one can be leveled up for maximum destruction.

The game initially takes place in modern day Podunk with you and your dog leaving a movie theater. While your character is reflecting on what they just seen, your dog takes it upon himself to chase a cat into an old abandoned mansion. That leads to the discovery of a time machine which sends you into the space age future. After being discovered by the butler (who then tries to kill you), you are shoved out of the room, down an escape pod, and into a jungle... The story from there winds up in a desert land to a castle back to the space station as you desperately try to find your way home.

I decided to buy this game from eBay for multiple reasons: 1) The game is hard to find on a good day. 2) It was inexpensive. 3) I had already owned a copy of the game before it had gotten flooded and I missed it.

Excellent shipping time. Great game condition. Well played sir. yepppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

I bought this game for the reason of rebuilding my collection from when I was a kid. I have finished this game many times and is always as good as a book. I can't wait to gather more games to add to the pile I have built. Love this game!!! goodnoodles

Despite it's age this game is actually very good. The graphics are excellent. the game is quite old, but it is still challenging.

About 4 years ago I sold this game, and I regret it so much. The game was quite amazing from what i remember. It had a Great Story, it made me want to keep playing to see what would happen next. The battle system was pretty awesome too, I love the idea of finding ingredients to use alchemy. The gameplay never got boring for me, I loved the puzzles you had to solve. Overall it is just a great game in my opinion. You should give the game a Try if you havent, your missing out on a great Enix game.

I you have played Secret of Mana, or Cronotriges, they this game should feel at home. Another great entry from Squaresoft. Solid store and game play, guaranty to keep you playing for hours.

I owned this game years ago and regretted selling it later on. It's fun to play over and over again. I enjoyed the story and gameplay. This game and Secret of Mana are the games I recommend if you are a true Squaresoft fan.

I absolutely love Secret of Evermore. It is truly one of the best games ever created. I decided to buy this game because my autistic brother lives with me and he loves video games. I thought it would be great to give him some joy in his life and purchase this classic video game for him.

yet anotger game from our past that was severely under rated by people every where. love or haye rpg's but you have to respect them. this is a great game for people who like a rich story and likeable characters lots of game play keep you immersed for hours.

It has a great sense of humor to it. It has awesome graphics. the battles are all real time and I like that. Boss battles are fun and challenging.

This game is in perfect condition and works fantastic. The delivery time was short and well packaged. I look forward to playing secret of mana on my perfectly working super ninentendo.

One of the best RPG's square came out with. Obviously Final Fantasy is considered that but it was a side-view/stationary RPG with a different combat system. This is the best real-time fighting, 3rd person view RPG for the SNES/Famicom. It's GUI is exactly like Secret of Mana... Exactly; But that's awesome because Secret of Mana had a good GUI. Storyline is funny as well. But more about the combat system, pretty fast paced and fun. This is one of the best games square has ever made. It takes thought and patience. Not advised for the lazy, instant gratification gamer.

Its a great game my favorite snes game. Everyone should play this game. It was cheap with all the materials and strategy guide.

This is the perfect gift for my old-school boyfriend. He has a Wii, but he still loves the classics. Secret of Evermore is like a hardy combination of Zelda and Metroid... Kinda.

The oft-maligned child of Squaresoft U.S.A., Secret of Evermore was thought by many to be the sequel to Secret of Mana. While this was not the case (Secret of Mana, or rather Seiken Densetsu 2, was followed by a third game that sadly did not come to the U.S.) Secret of Evermore was a good game in its own right. Using a control scheme similar to that of Secret of Mana, the player fought through areas with specific time themes; The Stone Age, ancient Egypt, The Stone age, and finally a futuristic space station. Magic, or rather Alchemy, relies on having the right ingredients to cast a spell, a novel concept for the time. The Dialogue is cheesy, but done so on purpose, owing to the main character's love of movies.

It may not be Seiken Densetsu 3, but Secret of Evermore is a good game that deserves a place in any gamer's library.

Yes, I said it was only "GOOD."

I'll admit this game is really good, great even. The graphics are better than Secret of Mana, and the gameplay is at least as fun. My problem with this game is that it's really gloomy. I haven't beaten it yet, but from the first cutscene onward it's been nothing but dark and gloomy. There's no music to speak of, except in the towns I've been in, but it's been nothing but muted background music--everything else has been nothing but crickets chirping and frogs croaking.

The bosses are harder than in Secret of Mana, too. I have fought two so far and both times I've stopped and said to myself, "Am I doing any damage to the boss? There are numbers showing up on the screen, but it's been a long time and it's still not dying!"

Then there's the bull crap it's shoveled into my gaping maw. I have on several occasions gone around saying to myself, "Where on earth am I supposed to GO now?!" and I hate that. Right now I find myself running repeatedly from a volcano through a horrendously long swamp maze and back again because I'm only allowed to carry one swamp pepper, and the only place to get them is from a guy who lives in the swamp! It wouldn't be such a pain if I didn't need the freakin' peppers to unlock each of the many doors inside the volcano!!

However, the fact that I'm still playing the game despite all that testifies as to how much fun it is. Even so, it's not as fun as Secret of Mana, and I've often stopped for a moment while playing to say, "I could be playing Secret of Mana right now and having more fun than I am right now playing this game."

This item was bought as a gift for my grandchildren - but from all indications I would say that is rated excellent since they love to play it so much - and they had this same game once and sold it and regretted it.

Its a cool game and i love to play it on emulator so that the one a i bought stay factory sealed :P

i bougth it because im a game collector and i wanted it....

I remember playing this game once in the past, I think I was about 12 or 13 at the time, and it lived along side Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III as the best rpgs of the day. I came back to this now, approximately, 10 years later to find that it is not nearly as good as I remember.

The Good points... the battle system is just as kick arse as it once was, same with the graphics.

The not so good... The story line is pretty childish, there isn’t really any main quest you are just sort of floating along completing fetch quests and solving puzzles (market place) and completing mazes (the end of Fire Eye's land) that make you run around in loops as you go. The weapons leave something to be desired as well, the weapons up grade cyclically and you will find yourself only using the newest weapon you have received.

One thing I can say for this game is it is a great conversation piece. Another is the graphic on the cartridge itself is awesome! Over all today it is BLAH. but if you have some good memories with this game pick it up.

I was around level 17 when i stopped playing.
