Since the game cuts down on the number of classes, it does its best to keep each class balanced. Finally, the Hacker has buffs and debuffs. Destroyers are monks but also have high defense, which makes them tank-like. Psychics are mages who have attack spells and healing. The Samurai class is pretty much a Swordsman, while the Trickster is kind of like a Thief with access to status ailments. Instead, you get the likes of the Samurai, Trickster, Psychic, Destroyer, and Hacker. Since this game is set in semi-futuristic Tokyo, regular classes like Swordsman, Thief, Mage, etc. The player takes the role of the 13th Murakumo Squad (anti-dragon special forces) and starts the game by choosing from 5 classes to make a 3-person team. It’s one thing I really love about this game. Despite the game being set in modern times, the plot is about as ridiculous as in any other RPG.
Turns out these dragons’ favorite snack is people. The game’s story starts with dragons from outer space invading Earth. After having beaten it, I can say that I was not disappointed. At the very least, I knew that the game had some good people working on it. Finally, Kazuya Niinou, director of the first Etrian Odyssey dungeon crawler game, reprized his role of director for this game as well as the one before it. Shirow Miwa of Dogs: Bullets & Carnage fame was responsible for character designs. Not many RPGs that I have played go for this kind of setting, so that difference had me interested in the game already.Īdd to that the fact that Yuzo Koshiro was doing the music, and my interest was piqued even more. The game is set in Tokyo in the year 2020, which means semi-futuristic with a dash of cyber punk here and there.
#7TH DRAGON 2020 PSP ENGLISH SERIES#
Whereas the first game in the series was your typical Japanese RPG set in a fantasy, medieval-ish world, 7th Dragon 2020 takes a different approach.
Published by Sega and developed by Image Epoch, 7th Dragon 2020 is a sequel to the earlier DS game 7th Dragon (which also never left Japan). The game, called 7th Dragon 2020, shared the fate of many PSP games in that it never left Japan. (The film based off of this novel, Edge of Tomorrow, isn’t too bad either.) It would seem that I’ve hit a theme in my media consumption… This PSP RPG I just finished only followed in this bizarre theme of fighting off alien invasions.Įarlier this month I also started playing a PSP game a friend (who is well acquainted with my particular tastes) had thoughtfully gotten for me over a year ago. It had kaiju and space aliens and giant robots, what wasn’t there to like? And then earlier this month, I read Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s All You Need Is Kill, which featured aliens and mech suits and weird time loops. Last year I saw Pacific Rim and really enjoyed it.
