GamingUnion.net: "All in all Ragnarok DS is a pretty standard entry into the RPG genre on the Nintendo DS. In spite of a few issues involving sound and the lack of a story for anyone beyond fans of Ragnarok Online, the gameplay mechanics are actually pretty good. It's certainly not a classic, but for those who are itching for a new RPG to play on their DS, it might be worth checking out."
Published and localized by XSEED in the year 2010, Ragnarok DS came to the American continent.This title based on the known and popular Ragnarok Online comes to the Nintendo DS, but does the game meet the expectations of the fans of the MMORPG or is it just a failed attempt by Gravity and GungHo? let’s find out.
"Mass Effect 2 and Ragnarok DS are this week’s main deals – except for a non-RPG deal on Read Dead Redemption which might help out with some extra cash towards an RPG of your choice." -Russ Ritchey, RPG Land
WP writes: "Most companies have all but realized that MMOs don't work on consoles, but few have had the inane idea of taking all the worst parts of an MMO and condensing it into a handheld game. Alas, that's just what XSeed and Gravity tried to do with Ragnarok DS, and the results are expectedly atrocious.
Ragnarok DS is a spin-off of the MMO Ragnarok Online, and I hope for the sake of the game's community that the full-fledged online game is more entertaining than its DS counterpart. This version features a paucity of locales, insultingly insipid quests and more boring level-grinding than even a typically obsessive RPG gamer would be willing to handle."
Although this may not have worked with the DS, can you imagine if Blizzard released a handheld WOW? That'd be AMAZING
Hmm, I think I'll actually give this a try, if the rental place ever gets it
I'm kinda thinking of giving this a play, looks ok but still not too sure.
This game is OK. The gameplay can be repetitive and annoying at times, but can also be fun and a bit addictive, too.
There is an error in this review, however. Multiplayer does not require friend codes, although if you have friends, you can either play locally or over wifi together.
Wow -- this one fell through the cracks for me. I can't believe I missed it!
