Posted on Jan 19, 2009 07:05:11 PM

With an interesting storyline, a lot of characters and good artwork and animation, this game is one of the good role playing games developed by Falcom. As the name suggests, Legend of Heroes is all about great warriors and mighty battles. However, the main characters who are pretty young do not gain prominence until you complete hours of play.

Slight problems show up in dialogue delivery which has been literally translated from the Japanese version. There are times when the player is confused and does not know what he is supposed to do next. However, a solid lengthy gameplay and detailed and in depth attention paid to the characters, this game is sure to provide players with a lot of enjoyment and fun.

Story revolves around Avin whose sister is Eimelle. A surprise attack separates him from Eimelle and as he enters adulthood, he decides to embark on his mission to locate his only surviving member of the family. Mile is timid but level headed and he assists Avin with his mission.

The adventure they encounter on the way to their goal is filled with surprises and twists. They enter the world of El Phildin, where darkness and followers of light are preparing for a combat. Story takes Avin and Mile through various fights and encounters with villains and monsters. As they overcome each one, they gain valuable experience points, acquire new skills and get hold of better weapons and equipment.

Character portraits are well drawn out and graphics are noteworthy. The Japanese style is very similar to other Falcom games, such as Gurumin. The character’s development in Legend of Heroes is logical and crisp, which makes this game very enjoyable. Various fights and combats are exciting though some of the turns and twists in the story are quite predictable.

In the initial stages, the encounters are not so tough, but as the game progresses, you find that fights are not so easy to win. Characters that are helping you in your mission have the ability to cast spells, attack, trade hits with opponents, etc.

As you are successful in your regular attacks, you collect certain deadly and unique skills by charging your power meter. On the whole, this long drawn and interesting Falcom game provides for loads of fun for enthusiastic players on your favourite PSP.
