It does feel like the Mario RPG and Zelda adventure... I just wish I could break boxes and cut grass and find stuff. The hp + sp should really refill on leveling up, it would provide really be a great bonus for the game. I love the game and defiantly recommend it for anyone that loved those games. You really will not be disappointed. I also DIDNT find it laggy at all. Everything works fine on my iPhone... I've read some reviews saying this game is hard, I am not a hardcore gamer and thoroughly enjoy this game. ### 4/5 — My fav so far out of kemco rpgs *2012-07-21* Although the graphics and art wasnt super amazing and stunning, this game was more balanced in terms of story, character development, interesting puzzles and dungeons compared to the more linear and repetitive gameplay of other kemco rpg games. A good game ### 5/5 — Great game! *2012-06-24, version 1.0.3* Another good game by Kemco, definitely worth buying! The d-pad is a little unresponsive sometimes but has never effected game play. Overall amazing game!! ### 4/5 — Help! *2012-05-30, version 1.0.3* I really like this game but can somebody help me? I'm stock in the second quick sand area right after you fight the gaunt ants and meet Cilla the first time. I've been walking around for hours help me get out!!! ( by the way I think it's worth it now that it's on sale) ### 5/5 — Another nice rpg *2012-04-06* Looks like kemco have been giving us some great old school RPGs get them on sale! But one thing that anoy me a little on all of them when you lvl up you dont get full HP and MP other than that they are great. ### 5/5 — Great old school RPG. *2012-02-10* This isn't just a good retro RPG by mobile phone standards, it's a good retro RPG by any standard. The story is pretty bare boned and the combat could be more challenging, but the game is fun. It offers tons of customization options for your characters' abilities, a fairly large world to explore, and lots of hidden extras to find. ### 5/5 — Amazing Game, Hear Me Out! *2012-02-02, version 1.0.3* Only iOS game availible to satisfy my Dragon Warrior Monsters hunger, couldn't ask for more, except more! ^^ ### 5/5 — Get it! *2012-02-02* I have so many rpg games it's not even funny anymore. I haven't gotten hooked on any of them but this is another story! This game has cute graphics a good story line and great controls. Only thing I would ask for is a world map.... Get it on sale!!! ### 5/5 — Finally a decent RPG app! *2012-01-30* Seriously enjoying this game, massive fan of old RPG games and this hasn't disappointed at all. An expansion or something is needed, the game is quite short. ### 5/5 — Enjoying! *2012-01-29* Really enjoying this so far. Just played through Symphony of Eternity by the same developers and that was also very good. Well worth getting if you like RPGs with turn-based combat. ### 4/5 — Worth it. *2012-01-29, version 1.0.3* Really enjoyed this game. I really like how you can play more after you beat it! The only negative would be the story could use tweaking. ### 4/5 — Pretty great. *2012-01-29, version 1.0.3* It really isn't a bad game. The 'joy stick' thing really could be updated. It doesn't seem sensitive enough. I am really liking the story line, and it really reminds me of final fantasy. Thanks for this sale. <3 ### 4/5 — Nice game *2012-01-29* Controls seems good and battle graphics as well Also please add iCloud save so I can play on my iPhone and iPad!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 1 star only *2012-02-03* i do love turn base strategy but the battle scene isnt that great and not to mention kinda laggy when ur walking which made me uninterested .. not smoot unlike final fantasy 3 ### 1/5 — why *2011-12-10, version 1.0.3* i just bought the game and it says i didnt!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — HMM *2011-12-09, version 1.0.3* Well it would be nice and I will give a better review all I get is the title screen and then it drops the app,please fix this or give a refund thanks! :/ ### 2/5 — Not worth 8$ *2012-02-21, version 1.0.3* Dont bother waste 8 $ on this game, the story is mediocre, game play direction confusing, and random batter occur way too often, item for no enemy r too expensive for ur budget, any way decent game ### 2/5 — Pretty bad. *2012-02-03, version 1.0.3* I wanted to like this but it is pretty bad. Terrible story telling and dialogue. I love Old school 8/16 bit graphics but this just looks slapped together. Music is repetitive. Etc. ### 2/5 — Eh *2011-12-30, version 1.0.3* - Short: 9h 30min taking my time, (Not trying for collecting everything possible) - Bad story telling, no side missions. - OK hidden treasures - OK combat. - Good amount of equipment for the length - The main point seemed to be grinding the same monster 'till it dropped it's 'rare' item so you could have 'completed' the game. It'll give you a fix if you're craving some old school RPG, but not note worthy. ### 3/5 — Only buy if you're craving a barebones 8-bit-era RPG *2012-02-01, version 1.0.3* I'm what many would consider a JRPG fanatic, and I'm a sucker for RPGs that appear to be of the 16-bit era, but Eve of the Genesis was easily one of the most generic RPGs I've experienced. The core design is solid -- the character potraits are stereotypical anime, but well-done, there are a few decent songs out of the six that are repeated ad nauseam throughout this 9-hour adventure, and the smooth interface is perfectly suited to iPhone, but this game feels nowhere near as creative or fun as your average person's first RPG Maker project. I'm not opposed to simplistic, cliche stories as long as they are done well and have at least one unique aspect to them, but this story reeks more than a diaper with a fresh deposit of human waste. A conflict between humans and robots isn't necessarily a bad idea, but mindlessly wandering through environments knocking off palette-swapped robots bosses that look supsiciously like dragons makes Bubsy 3D look like an epic quest. I get it, this game had a small team, but the amount of generic palette-swamped monsters is inexcusable considering this game normally goes for $9. Eve of the Genesis also lacks character interaction and development -- which is no surprise when they have less personality than the robots they're resisting. Your merry band of travellers consists of a blonde, over-protective swordsman, a fiesty young woman who's reasonably skilled in magic and ranged combat, a quiet intellectual who excels in magic, and a lancer who randomly gets amnesia (which you can cure through a side quest, but doesn't do a thing to restore personality to this empty vessel). Besides the barebones story and character development, you'll also bear witness to some of the ugliest environments you've seen in an RPG since the early Ultima and Dragon Quest games. The character sprites look decent, but the ugly, mundane towns and dungeons make rural Iowa and fox holes look exciting. Fortunately, the battle and equipment systems have a little more substance. Battles play out like an early Final Fantasy game with your party lined up on the right and static enemies on the left. You'll input commands through touch menus and you'll trade blows with your immobile enemies. You'll gain levels incredibly fast, and you'll earn experience and gold (the latter allows you to purchase skills and equipment at shops). Skills can be equipped and modified with gems and you can equip a weapon, a piece of armor, and an accessory on each character. If you're looking for a rudimentary iPhone RPG, I'd recommend skipping this and going with the early Final Fantasy games when they're on sale. If you've alread played those, then you might want to consider this while it's on sale for a $1, but keep in mind that there are much more creative (albeit flawed) RPGs that pay homage to the 16-bit era such as Black Sigil for the DS. ### 3/5 — Controls *2012-01-30, version 1.0.3* The d-pad is sluggish/ unresponsive at time I also wish they added an option to make it bigger other than that this is a classic style rpg that every rpg lover should get. FF/dragon quest style game. (note: to developer add the option to make the d-pad bigger and fix the lag time on the d-pad and this easily hits 5 stars with me) ### 3/5 — Sluggish *2012-01-30, version 1.0.3* The controls feel sluggish the frame rate is so slow =( ### 4/5 — Decent *2012-10-12, version 1.0.3* Decent little rpg if your looking for some old school action Auto battle Amusing characters On sale for $.99 how can you go wrong? Only real complaint is the dpad is a little small ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AWESOME ! *2015-08-30* I've beaten this game so many time! It's been 5 years that i'm playing and everything is awesome in this game! I like the magics, the skills attacks and the musics are cool! I know every secrets of this game ~ ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-03-05, version 1.0.6* This game is amazing! ### 5/5 — Sweet *2013-05-19, version 1.0.4* Support iphone 5 will be even better. ### 5/5 — Excelent game! *2013-05-19, version 1.0.4* It have been remove from the US market in the app store :(. .. This is an excelent game, nice gameplay, story, I enjoy this game a lot Even if you finish the game you need to complete some part of the story (side quest) and another castle. I really recomend this game if you are an RPG fan ### 5/5 — Reminds me of the old days *2012-08-06* I'll do this in point form . The leveling system is just amazing you don't really have to grind if you don't want to. But for some parts you may want to get the weapons and armor. I do like the way you level up skills but I would have preferred skill points instead. . I won't say anything about the story but it dose make for an interesting read. So far I am 10 hours in which so far the longest rpg I played on the iOS well worth the money . Gameplay is your typical turn based rpg if you like final fantasy you will feel right at home. . It looks really good on my iPod touch 4th gen haven't run into any problems. It's a nice throw back to the 16 bit times. .in game you get a monster list which I commend people for putting in. It should be in every jrpg. You get a history selection were you can find info on the game. It has full items,weapons and armor list which is a very nice touch. Overall well worth the price and I reccomend you buy it 7/10 ### 5/5 — Great game *2012-08-02, version 1.0.3* Very fun old school rpg ### 5/5 — amazing *2012-07-25* a great game defenitly look into it needs more non story dungeons ### 5/5 — Rpg *2012-07-24* This was a really fun rpg on the iOS you should pick it up cause its on sale ### 5/5 — Great *2012-07-20* Wow this rpg is good for lovers of final fantasy! Buy it while it's on sale. They should translate more of their rpgs ### 5/5 — Excellent game! *2012-07-15* Definitely one of the best RPG's on the iOS, Kemco have done a great job with this one, definitely for the JRPG fanatic! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
