I must admit that I wasn't into this that much at first. I am just not a fan of RPG's in general. This really did get better as it went along. The best part was probably how you could just keep on fighting the enemies over and over. While redundant, it was still fun. You didn't have to go to a different screen for that.
You just fought them immediately. That was quite convenient. I appreciate the little sound effects. It had good structure. Even without medals, I was eager to get far...somewhat.
