Enchanted Arms (Review)

Sep 7, 2006

Thursday 7 September 2006 If painting-by-numbers ever ended up as an Xbox 360 game, this Jap-developed RPG is what it would look like. Enchanted Arms is the most basic, hand-holding piece of entertainment we've seen in a long time... and yet, somehow, it works. In fact - and to our surprise - it's actually damn fun. The world of Enchanted Arms looks like this: bright, eye-gouging colour; extravagant characters that wear camp clothes; slightly crap soap opera-style stylings that wouldn't look ...

Enchanted Arms (Review)

Sep 1, 2006

It's about damn time the Xbox 360 got an offline role-playing game (sorry, Final Fantasy XI). Unfortunately, the first one we got was Enchanted Arms. It's likely to reap the sales benefits of being the only game in town, but it's precious little more than a color-by-number exercise in tired RPG traditions. The bright colors and skillful use of fancy lighting make Atsuma's world of enchanting and forgotten ancient magic light up the room, even if the too-frequent random battles barf more than ...

Enchanted Arms Xbox 360 - Q&A with Producer Marc Fortier of Ubisoft (News)

Aug 21, 2006

"Enchanted Arms features what we call the SpeedTactics Battle System, which is a fast yet flexible system allowing both in-depth tactics and fast-paced battles. The dev team's approach was to bring the best RPG features together into one system that offered a wide variety of tactical options for hardcore RPG fans, but could also be used easily by mainstream users. The result is a hybrid system blending grid-based and turn-based elements."

Enchanted Arms (Preview)

Aug 7, 2006

Monday 7 August 2006 This RPG follows the Final Fantasy formula rigidly. But what a formula it is: a dramatic narrative, fastidiously detailed backdrops, technically astonishing magical effects, a sprawling sense of scale and a cast of doe-eyed gender-confused heroes. And while these are the same familiar ideas and ideology that have driven turn-based adventures for years, they again make Enchanted Arms compelling beyond the boundaries of its orthodoxy and unoriginality. You see, while the ...

E3 06: Enchanted Arms (Preview)

May 12, 2006

Broadly, there are two kinds of RPGs out there - the ones like Oblivion that offer the player a wealth of freedom, and the Final Fantasy school that concentrate on tight storytelling and addictive battling. Enchanted Arms, coming from Japan, definitely aims toward Final Fantasy's style. The game stars university student Atsuma - whose glossy hair and vacant smirk mark him as true hero material. Actually, it's the fact that he has the power to control golems - mystical entities designed to fight ...
