Topic: Unchained Blades

Correctme if I'm wrong but the dragon emperor's voice sounds a awful lot like Spike from Cowboy Bebop?!

i got it.. took me around 10 mins for the download...i though the 3ds xl came with a 4gb card

Steven Blum has been in every 3rd game in the past few years so it's possible.

wow from the first cave to the 2nd cave (or whatever they are called ) the diff. spikes doesnt it .... i can see what grinding means.. not for exp but for items to build weapons

Indeed. Don't forget to pick up lots of Followers, too.

So, everyone who has bought it, would you recommend it?

I was prepared to download it the second it came out on the eShop, but I realized they could have completely messed up on the port. I think the price tag made me wait to see some reviews for the 3DS version. I'm still waiting on reviews before I download this.

I haven't played a whole ton but what I've seen so far is high quality! Nice voice acting. Great anime style cut scenes. Good battle system. Different enough to separate itself from other rpgs.

I think I'll wait to summer, I've already waited this long. I have Crimson Shroud now and 3D Classics: Twinbee. They are taking up my handheld time. Then Fire Emblem is due out in February. Plus I have other games I'm working on. Sounds like it should be good though.

I'm in the same boat. I was set on downloading it until it came out and then suddenly it clicked in my head that what if it didn't turn out good? It's a lot for a digital download if I end up not liking it. I want a review, I'm most interested in hearing about gameplay (without many spoilers), all I've seen uses the game's jargon such as "unchaining" or "followers" and I don't know what that means but I don't want to spoil the game for myself, I'd rather have some basic descriptions on the gameplay. Nintendolife's reviews tend to be good at that.

played it around 4 hours and still like it... would of like it better at 20 though

8 hours in.. guessing chapter 1 is around 9 to 10 hours long since i own all of the weapons and armor i can in this chapter

This game is awesome!!! The sequel better be on it's way

Downloaded last night, haven't had the chance to play it yet.
And NL gave it an 8/10

@Knuckles - Let me know what you think about it.

Yeah, he's in everything.

Okay, I caved a couple days ago and downloaded it, haven't had a lot of time to play it but I got past the prologues and into the game itself, it's fun so far and deeper than I expected in terms of gameplay. I can already tell it's gonna have a steep difficulty curve but it you're up for a challenge, go ahead and download it!

some people on gamefaqs are reporting game busting bugs ....

Just checking to see if this has happened to anyone else. I just beat the first boss today, and was running through Darius as the phoenix girl's party, and when I tried to use a medicine, the game froze and came up with "Error, system must now restart"... And, it happened twice, since I tried again immediately after reloading. I'm hoping it's just because I was in Darius and hadn't found Tortuga yet, but if this persists it could be game breaking...

All the more reason to use both those save files.

@slidecage I got those a few times after extreme usage of my 3DS, so I think it just needed a rest.

I am 8+ hours in and lovin it. Definately not for the casual player, but it is rewarding my dedication so far. Having a blast.
