IGN: Eternal Poison Review

Japanese strategy RPGs aren’t for everyone, especially for gamers more keen on unloading clips into a nasty assortment of aliens, or perhaps those interested in a more kinetic experience like leaping across building tops. Yet even with so many action-filled options, there are still those that garner great enjoyment out of deliberately moving units across a grid, leveling up as you go and building an army, both big and small, to bring onto the battlefield. I consider myself to be one such gamer; I’ve loved a fair number of strategy games in the past. But there’s almost nothing about Eternal Poison that I like. This is an entirely vapid number, utterly devoid of any personality or substance. I feel bad for anyone that makes the mistake of picking up a copy based on the somewhat charming cover art.
