Tales of Graces f is for Failure, not Fancy or Fun

Story:
Tales of Graces f is another game in a line of other Tales games. I consider it a low-end RPG, that attracts players that are in love with anime and manga. Your team of heros are all kids to start out with, Asbel being the main character. After the incredibly long prologue you become teenagers, aside from Malik, who is Asbel's instructor and joins the team later on. The story is your typical evil is taking over the world that your inexperienced and naive team must save. Overall, the story is predictable and lacks originality.

Presentation:
The graphics are ok at best, landscapes are often copied and pasted and can make traveling through different areas boring, as well as get you lost in certain areas. Enemies lack details due to the overhead action style combat where eve...

Moe Money, Moe Problems

I picked this up simply because our weekly game night amongst the MeltedJoystick staff (myself, Nick and Nelson) was in desperate need of a multiplayer game, and this fit the bill.

Presentation: For the most part, I thought the design was pleasant. Yes, my review title is correct, there is a whole lot of moe here. I don't think it goes overboard, but it certainly drives plenty of the game. If you aren't a fan of the too cute Japanese style that is so popular these days (both in...

Instant Balls, Meth Mixers, and Pig… Tails?

“Tales of Graces F” (“ToGF”) is the latest in the venerable ‘Tales of’ franchise that started way back in 1995 with “Tales of Phantasia” on the SNES (which was never released to audiences outside of Japan). I always wondered why so many SNES games were never released outside of Japan; I used to think it was better for Japanese game makers to release their stuff worldwide and let the audience decide whether they like it or not, rather than keeping games that ‘foreigners wouldn’t understand or relate to’ behind closed borders. The ‘Tales of’ series, however, convinced me of the err of my previous belief. While I still have not played “Tales of Phantasia” (despite a Gameboy Advance port that was released in North America), my experience with “Tales of D...
