Arc the Lad: End of Darkness

Arc the Lad: End of Darkness, the fifth game in that series, really doesn't have much going for it. Twilight of the Spirits had a decent balance between being a sequel and being a stand-alone story; there was enough to the characters and the overall arc that you could forgive the final boss coming a bit out of left field if you were new to the series. This feels much more like the design team were told "make a sequel, make it cheap" and threw something together.

( Problematic on many fronts. )

I would have been rather upset with this game if I’d paid more for it. Given that I bought it for $6 including shipping, it was okay.

It occurs to me that I tend to be more long-winded about games that aren't as good. (It also helps when I write down thoughts as I have them--after a 40-hour game, I really don't remember most of my initial thoughts or complaints.)
