Alphadia Genesis 2 Review: Hardcore Droid

Hardcore Droid: In a time when the illustrious tradition of the JRPG – carried on in the mainstream by big-budget franchises like Final Fantasy – is losing ground to its western counterparts, titles like Alphadia Genesis 2 serves as a necessary reminder of what made the JRPG such a big deal in the first place. In a genre that, in this day and age, seems overly concerned with visual flare, expansive, convoluted plots and level grinding, Alphadia Genesis 2 manages to deliver an experience reminiscent of the JRPG’s past days of glory. It smacks of legendary titles such as Chrono Trigger, and not only that, but you can play it on the bus.
