Mystic Ark review

I played the Aeon Genesis fan-translation of Mystic Ark, and it's interesting. It opens with a classic ontological mystery: Your character is roaming a cave when a spinning square comes out of nowhere, turns you into a Figurine, and carries you off into a shrine. You hear a voice, and are able to regain your original form. What the hell is going on?

( A long and involved discussion. Apparently there was a lot to think about here. )

Do I recommend playing it? Maybe. If you like SNES rpgs, it’s still a more interesting and varied game (and far better translation) than Paladin’s Quest, and it’s still easier than 7th Saga, but there are far better games out there.

Mystic Ark - Plot and Commentary

Since I'm pretty sure no one who reads this will play Mystic Ark, I thought I’d detail (and spoil) all of the plot events for anyone who was curious.

( The events of the game, in detail. Obviously spoils the entire game, if you care about such things. )
