"A Guards Tale" Review
A Guard's Tale.Pure VX Greatness.
Review by Username?
A Guard's Tale Is Well...A Truly Great Game.First Off,I
HAVE to mention the mapping.It's just true VX Map Design at its finest.You can tell a hell of a lot of work went into the events too.Every tree can be interacted with.You can "Bash" down objects from them you see.Also
nearly all of the objects lying around in the game are interactive.Like a Pokemon game,you activate it and a nice description message pops up.Some of these pop-ups contain jokes too.So we go on to the story.Your character
has finally become a guard.You must meet your superior at his house,and get your first assignment.That is...
to give some cows their medicine...ok...easy.Well maybe not.Basically you have to get across the field and drug the hay.But if you get into direct eye-view of a cow,they'll charge and you have to start over.It was a nice little system which required some trial and error.
Next you had to go and help a fisherman.And so the quests go on.Let's move onto features.I already mentioned the tree-bashing-item-falls-collect system.And I appreciated having it.Fishing is also available though
it doesn't always work,and can lead to some strange but funny effects.Now battle doesn't seem to be a major aspect of this game,which in my opinion is good.It's not just;
"Go kill the criminal!""go kill his boss!"The assignments
usualy lead to differant sorts of mini-games.The battle system though is an ABS.The most interesting thing about the battle system however,is the weather skills.Basically,differant characters,obviously have differant skills.But in THIS the weather can actually affect the power of certain skills.So one character might be overpowered in the sun,but very weak in cold conditions.This adds a hint of strategy to the battles and overall just works very well.There is the issue of grammar and spelling though.There are quite a lot of spelling mistakes in the game.And also some little typos.
Now I don't know if the developer's first language is English or not,and if it's not then I'm sorry.It's just that I'm TRYING to find faults in this game.One thing that I must say about this game though.Fishing,ABS and sneaking has all been done before.It's not very original but it IS effective how it is executed.You realy get the sense of Village Life when you walk around and see old people walking near the sea.A man complaining about the pub.A brutish meat addict.A noble giving out about the meat addict and so on.You get a certain "Air" off the game.So with all this said,I think it's time for the most
important part..
Graphics-8.5/10
Story-7.5/10
Spelling-5/10
Battle System-8/10
and overall...(Drum Cue)...
8.5/10!!
