Following a rather predictable story where the main characters are orphaned during the Great War, then find themselves caught up in a plot to defeat an evil General, action starts out very slowly. The first few scenarios attempt to explain to newcomers how best to approach matters but it does all feel a little vague and confusing. Worst of all, it really isn't very interesting which is sure to put off some players quite early on into the experience. Considering the game only takes, at the absolute most, 8 hours to complete there really is no time to spare for a slow and disappointing start.
"A full hour devoted to this semi-forgotten Konami PS1 strategy RPG series." - Brett Elston, Patrick Kulikowski
Vandal Hearts 1 and 2 was great, but the 3rd game was not that good in comparison. I'm sure even FF Tactics was inspired by Vandal Hearts, considering it came before that.
"Here are ten Konami games that deserve a good remake." - Patrick Kulikowski
They should add Rocket Knight to that list. I don't think the revival was all that it could have been.
