It's driving me nuts that to pick a weapon from the menu you hit the jump button instead of the attack button

: Beat the game

This is the first Saturn game I've emulated, and the first I've played through to the end. It has some extremely rough edges, but I feel this game is a gem. Maybe not a diamond or emerald, but like... a pearl at least. I think it would be a hit if it got the remaster treatment, with smoother controls, some small QoL updates, and the same art style, but with something to ease the obfuscation caused by the perspective.

I think it didn't hook the first time because I used timg. Oops.

it's much more likely that I just missed it lol. well done

Scroll to the weapon you want and hit the menu button again. I kept having the same problem with accidentally cancelling it out

That's where Retroarch puts it by default and it sucks, but it also puts R on LT and c'mon.

In DDS are any of the combo moves good, I've been mostly sticking to regular moves since blowing two turns on one go seems kinda risky.

You can use stuff like debilitate or mediarama as combos before learning them as skills, and the strongest almighty attack is a 3 person combo that costs 99mp each

comboing can also be good because it can let you do things out of order, like use your 3rd party member's elemental attack on the first person's turn when they otherwise wouldn't have good options. And yeah I leaned on combo dekunda and dekaja for a lot of the game

the sounds are so fun. I've been laughing at the tarzan yell Leon makes when he falls like every time and the repeated chunky punching sound Efreet makes when he's just wailing on enemies with his fists makes me laugh too

Just got the 4th spirit in Legend of Oasis, gonna wander around solving puzzles now that I know how useful the upgraded spirits are. This game is awesome, great pick!

I'm only a little into it and I like the graphics and puzzle solving. The emphasis on verticality is cool except for the perspective situation. Can't help feeling it could have been an isometric game like landstalker or something if they wanted to do that

The art is sick but the perspective and area design, specifically the verticality of it is tough to grasp still.

i usually use the 360 or dash for the short sword and skull crusher for the longsword since they all put a bunch of hits in on large enemies

I'm really enjoying the exploration even if the controls suck. I like finding something that seems like a it's going to be a cool secret but ends up being the way forward.

this game has great artwork and sadly terrible controls, terrible perspective, confusing maps and the game could have benefited from a camera that is further zoomed out to get some sense of where you are. The music sounds like it was recorded in a different room and outside of some goofy sounds like the skeleton its dreadful. I'm in the second dungeon and unsure if I'll even finish this.

Summoning your little elemental buddies to solve environmental puzzles is super cool if it wasn't for them deciding to turn into a whirlwind or heal you for no reason and blow through all your mp before you even get to the puzzle you need them to solve.
