Last Bible III for SFC

Last Bible III

Shin Megami as a proper JRPG


Genre: rpg - japanese

Publisher: Atlus

Year: 1995

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Shin Megami by another name. The combat is reminiscent of the Shin Megami games where you can recruit enemies. It seems a tad bit easier to succeed than in the mainline games. Some of the standard QoL features are here, including Auto battle and equipping immediately after purchasing weapons or armor. I've got no complaints. However, there isn't anything novel to speak of other than recruiting enemies. Definitely better than most but not top tier.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

The game takes several hours to really get going , so I didn't see a whole lot of it. What I did seems good. It feels like a standard JRPG rather than a dungeon crawler like the other games in the series.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

The story is almost non-existent. Actually not non-existent, incoherent. I feel like I got dropped into the middle of a story with no exposition to explain who these people are or why I should care about them. Pretty weak.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

The pixel art in this game is excellent. I almost gave it a five but enemies in the first person view are only so so and you don't get to see your party at all which is always a bummer. But the environments look fantastic. Also the sprites of great animation in the overhead sections.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

The music's okay. That if it really stands out.


Overall Score: 76

Review ID: 1728
