It also doesn't help that most units are USELESS! Their resistances/defenses are made of PAPER and their attack power can be quite low. Some bonus exp or character recruitment requirements are never actually explained to you, so you're left in the dark, with whatever you make out of its gameplay. See, depending on the way (and difficulty) you play, Path of Radiance can be extremely punishing and there's no extra way to grind or get a bit stronger. The soundtrack sounded bad, the storytelling felt stiff, the artstyle was weird and everything else seemed too archaic.Īnd although I liked the fact that the game focuses mainly on the main story, without any sidequests or unnecessary detours, THIS TIME I missed it. To me, that hurt a HUGE part of the experience.
The presentation, for example, it's so bad, it's offensive! This game could've been a SNES game! Sure, it's basically the core of the experience, but the game lacks in so many other aspects! Especially when you're getting close to the end - That's when it gets GOOD!īut that's about all I actually liked about in Path of Radiance.
I blame the story flaws in the tedious writing.īut, still, not a bad story. Not not just 'things', 'THINGS' are thrown at you! The pinnacle of TMI! I'm glad there were some actually interesting characters and story development, but it was all VERY slow. I liked it, but it took me several chapters to actually get a grasp of it as a whole.
When things work out or when you know exactly what went wrong with your strategy, that's when the game shines. When it comes to what was supposed to be the basic in a tactical game, Path of Radiance is great! I had a lot of fun with it! The true meat of the game! Strategizing your units, taking advantage of the amazing and well-designed maps, leveling up, changing classes, getting to know characters, recruiting, losing members and etc. The glue that holds it all together IS the combat system. This is only the second game in the franchise the I've ever played, but Path of Radiance kinda got me a little disappointed. I have to be honest - I did not like this game so much.
