CheatCC says, "It would have been great if Agarest had been balanced with half of its focus devoted to tactical gameplay, and the other half devoted to character interaction in between large-scale battles. Unfortunately, it's more like ninety percent random encounters, with ten percent left over for everything else. Plenty of Japanese RPGs are also balanced with the same formula, so this disappointment is nothing new. But on the other hand, are we not done level grinding yet? Is gaming culture still in love with the sacrificing of afternoons to level grinding through random encounters, rather than sticking with stories told through unique characters, and epic tactical battles that make sense because the story led up to that battle in a sensible way?"
Record of Agarest War is a PS3/Xbox 360 title that has been revamped and brought to the Nintendo Switch.

RPGs are great, but it takes a lot of dedication to finish most of them. Here are six PS3 and Xbox 360 RPGs Gamemoir's Nick never saw the credits of.
We feel like Record of Agarest War Zero is trying to cheat. The market is supposed to incentivize creators to make great creations. More people will watch a good movie than a bad movie, more people will play a good game than a bad game. Record of Agarest Zero is not a good strategy game. The interface is clunky, the music is grating, and even unimportant fights drag on WAY longer than is fun. The story is painfully generic.
