![]() There is a nice variety of characters for a game like this, with characters being added to as each part progresses. Unlike other similar series, the storyline does not repeat itself except in the beginning, with each chapter having different primary supporting characters such as one chapter having Bartido as a main supporting character whilst the next chapter would have Hiram as his replacement.Ĭharacter development of the characters within the storyline start off slow however as the chapters progress, every character gets development which overall all sums up nicely in the end. The storyline is split up into five parts, each ending with the bloody murder of everyone in the tower and Lillet being sent back in time. Before and after every battle there is a significant addition to the plot and besides the first few battles, there is no real filler content in the story, with each scene lending to the storyline in some way.

There is no psychotic murders of the characters each day, with the storyline slightly getting more intense as it goes along, it is not too kiddy friendly but at the same time it does not lend itself to being too bloody and gorish that would make adults weary of it, instead it holds a rather good balance of the elements, if you know what I mean.

The campus on which they study, the Silver Star tower was once the destroyed Archmage’s castle. The school was led by the famous wizard, Gammel Dore, who had once defeated the Archmage. ![]() She had been invited to a Magic Academy where only talented youths were accepted. The storyline is summarised in the game manual as this: The game is overall different from most Nippon Ichi games you would have played before, however overall you will find that they make this new gameplay style work, and they do not deviate and make it too an ambitious game. I have had this game for a while now, however only recently managed to finish it after getting stuck in the second part of the game. – Gaff to Lillet in the Prologue of the Game The professors couldn’t do anything to help him.īut here’s the scary part, three days later, he was found, cruelly tortured.
