"Say what you will about the low number of console JRPG releases this generation, but each one will keep you busy for quite a long time. Record of Agarest War Zero will give you hundreds of hours of playtime if you care to delve into it fully. I just wish those hours were more enjoyable." - Karl Koebke
TTP: Several games are currently available for reduced prices on the App Store in time for the holidays, allowing players to purchase some of the best titles released in recent times for very convenient prices. Among the games now available for lower prices is a role playing game that’s been made available a while back on the App Store, Record Of Agarest War Zero.
TouchArcade: I don't think I'll ever be accused of being stingy with my words, but if I were to wrap this entire review up into a short summary, here it goes. If you enjoyed Record Of Agarest War [$14.99]'s seventy-something hour campaign, spent dozens of hours more to fully complete everything, and still find yourself wanting another full-sized game offering a similar experience, you should buy Record Of Agarest War Zero [$14.99]. That's essentially the only scenario where I can see recommending this latest release from HyperDevBox, because just about everyone else with an interest in the Agarest series ought to be starting with the first game anyway. Agarest Zero tells a new story with new characters, but the underlying gameplay offers virtually little of note over its predecessor and actually streamlines a few things out that I'm not sure needed to be ditched.
A new entry of the Record Of Agarest War series, published by HyperDevbox, is now available for purchase on the App Store.
Thanks for the info, now I really don't want to play this game.
Yikes, didn't sound fun at all for the reviewer, much less for anyone playing it.
Good review.
74 hours for a 5.5 game... dear lord I feel bad for this man O.O
The first Record of agarest wars is an awesome JRPg. I think the reviewer doesnt know what to look for a JRPg and its culture.
