Postcard Review: True blue

"Aiming for a certain kind of charm, rather than overwhelming the player with good graphics and mind-blowing special effects, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue manages to deliver a classic role-playing experience.

This adaptation of the Sega Saturn version of the game looks crisper, sounds fuller and feels more complete. It’s a fantastic unison of turn-based combat, save-the-girl plot and quirky yet endearing anime characters. While not a revolutionary game in its own right, it manages to hold a firm place among other RPGs.

Even if it doesn’t excel in one specific area, Lunar 2‘s aptitude overall is what gives it that lasting charm. Since it doesn’t aim for realism, it retains an art style that won’t ever look outdated. Its vibrant colors and unique sprites lend to the game’s overall feel, rather than detracting from it with the passage of time."
