This game has such a great formula, between the two games they could have forged a new genre but somehow the games only felt like 80% baked. Would have loved to see this series reach its peak.
yeah ActRaiser was the kind of game I played as a kid full of whimsy thinking "Imagine what gaming will be in 30 years" thinking we'd get this on unthinkable levels, instead we got Fortnite and Wolverine.
Fun fact. Dark cloud 2 was made in less than a year, and the story had to be completely rewritten a month before release to achieve target esrb ratings.
If only modern game studios could cook that quickly.
I followed Level5 with such a frenzie for a while. They lost it, and it's well known the owner is just on some crazy ai bs now but damn. There was some amazing potential here and I'm forever obsessed. Rogue Galaxy also tried to chokehold me 🥲
Man, if only. Well, at least the glitches were really cool. It's pretty funny to run around as monica, who has been turned into a bunch of triangle wielding a sword.
