### 4/5 — Fun but stuck

*2025-07-04, version 1.1.5*

I recently redownloaded this game but after I finished the first set of missions it’s not progressing. Please help!! Real potential game here just need help

### 5/5 — Delicious !!

*2012-12-21, version 1.1.4*

An amazing app and I love the story, keeps me entertained for hours , currently my gameplay is 20 hours and I still have not finished it , this is a game like Pokemon , well made , good price , well deserved to eat !!

### 5/5 — Help!stuck

I'm in the dark curse  and I can't find an exit to get into the next village to find Dean.I looked everywhere and I somehow defeat the dark crocodile and find nothing!I'm stuck,please anybody help

### 5/5 — Fun RPG

*2012-10-20, version 1.1.4*

My first RPG on the iPod Touch, and it was an enjoyable step into the genre.

### 5/5 — Final Fantasy meets Golden Sun

*2012-10-14*

Dieses Spiel ist ein echter Leckerbissen!!! Vom Aufbau der einzelnen Dungeons ähnelt es sehr den ersten beiden teilen der Golden Sun Reihe!!! Auch der Aufbau der Story gestaltet sich so wie es für die Golden Sun Reihe typisch ist: zu Beginn versteht man nur wenig, mit der Zeit deckt man ein Puzzleteil nach dem anderen auf und es offenbart sich eine Geschichte die einen in seinen Bann zieht!!! Auch wenn der Anfang sehr langwierig und von vielen Gesprächen geprägt ist (was wieder sehr der Final Fantasy Reihe ähnelt) und man wirklich Geduld mitbringen muss bis man ans richtige spielen ran darf lohnt sich das warten und das lesen der einzelnen Dialoge total!!! Grafisch spricht es die Rollenspiel Veteranen total an, erinnert man sich doch beim spielen gerne an die ersten Final Fantasy teile!!! Diese "verpixelung" gepaart mit der Farbtiefe ist wirklich wunderschön anzuschauen!!! Ich habe bisher 7 Stunden Spielzeit hinter mir und es ist nach wie vor noch kein Ende in Sicht!!! Ein Spiel an dem man wirklich lange Spaß hat und das auch nie an Spannung verliert!!! Auch die Ausarbeitung der einzelnen Charaktere ist detailliert und verspielt, man kann sich gut mit ihnen identifizieren und ist immer gespannt auf das nächste Detail und die nächste Wendung in der Vergangenheit der Protagonisten!!! Einziger Wermutstropfen ist das das Spiel auf englisch ist und man relativ gute englisch Kenntnisse braucht!!! Ist dies allerdings gegeben (oder iwann ein deutsch Update raus) hat man mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit großen und lang anhaltenden spielspaß!!! Positiv ist auch die geringe Abnutzung des Akkus sowie der unschlagbare Preis von 0,79 €!!! Alles in allem ist dieses Spiel jedem zu empfehlen der bei Rollenspieles großen Wert auf Detailverliebtheit und eine mysteriöse Geschichte legt!!! 5 Sterne!!!

### 5/5 — Five stars...

*2012-10-11, version 1.1.4*

For an excellently crafted RPG. It has a suspenseful storyline that keeps your thumbs glued to the screen. The crafting mechanics of the game are genuine, and there's no IAP for materials! The battles are swift, intense, and the collaborative techniques are very powerful! I love this game, an highly recommend it to any FF fans (FF-FF9)!

### 5/5 — COOL

*2012-10-11, version 1.1.4*

Epic game it is fun and I play many hours with this game. I hope it gets multiplayer or something to raise its epicness 😃

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2012-10-09, version 1.1.4*

Very good game. I wish there were more like it.

### 5/5 — Like a mix between the old Pokemon games and a final fantasy, just way better

*2012-10-07, version 1.1.4*

I got this game like 2 or 3 days ago and I already have like 12 hours of gameplay, kinda sad seeing as I usually don't play many games but its really addicting, mainly due to the fact I love games where you level up and can upgrade weapons and armor.
Bottom line is I'm 18 now and I owned the very first iPhone and this is the best game I've ever played, and trust me, the whole not gaming alot thing is fairly new haha

### 5/5 — The best

*2012-10-06, version 1.1.4*

Dont know how this game could even be rated less than 5 stars by anyone. If you like the idea of final fantasy including the fal cie and stuff in the newer versions you will absolutely love this :) than again im an old school gamer

### 5/5 — Great RPG

*2012-10-05, version 1.1.4*

If you love turn based RPGs: this game is almost indefinitely for you!!! ^_^

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2012-10-05, version 1.1.4*

I've been waiting for thos game to appear in us app, so happy :D :D :D

### 5/5 — Finally what I've been looking for

*2012-10-05, version 1.1.4*

I wanted an RPG on my phone that lasted more than 5hours and gave me the same feeling I had playing RPGs on my SNES, and this delivered. 17 hours in I'm loving every step of it.  Auto battle makes grinding less of a grind but bosses are quite a challenge.  Levels scale appropriately which shows this wasn't just rushed. Good plot too

Great game, took a star off though cause it could do with a lil map! :O
 ----------

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2012-10-09, version 1.1.4*

Average graphic resolution, average game play. Narratives are too long an boring.

### 1/5 — Update this!

*2012-05-28, version 1.1.0*

Glitchy. The in-battle tools button doesn't work, and when I move using the pad or click my character ALWAYS, moves to the left of the screen. =.=

### 1/5 — review

*2012-05-11, version 1.1.0*

game is boring.  there are many other games thats more fun.  battle system is boring and story is soso as well.  dont waste your dollar.

### 1/5 — Too easy

*2012-01-20, version 1.1.0*

Just like their other game this one has all of the elements to be a great game, but it's way too easy. It's bad. Don't buy. Especially not for 2.99. Not even for .99.

### 2/5 — 起動不能になりました

*2015-07-19*

ダーク何とかという洞窟で宝箱からグレートランスを入手、装備したところでアプリが落ちて、その後起動できなくなりました。楽しくプレイしてたのに残念。
当方iPhone5sですが、解像度が合っておらず文字がややぼやけて見えます。
ゲームのシステムややり込み要素などは申し分なく楽しかったです。最後までプレイしたかったー！

### 2/5 — うーん、、、

*2015-02-12*

操作とシステムがクソ
所詮ケムコ

### 2/5 — Another generic RPG, sticks and carrots folks.

*2012-10-17, version 1.1.4*

The only thing this game got worth completing it, is to complete it.

Another churned, bland RPG set up from KEMCO. 

Less then stellar written story-script that a kid in grade school could've mustered up. Confused boy, deceptive world, a bunny? insert evil bad character here? Confused boy is lineage to ancient hero, resolve!

Now to attack the game play: 

The endless hoarding of precious materials to be disappointed of outcome for its product. I don't know how these type of systems could possibly fail, but RpgFc manages to break the scheme.

The controls isn't so bad. Either a D-pad w/ a cancel-action button that sometimes gets mixed up annoyingly with the touch screen controls. (Collecting material, touch screen, run away from material.)

Expect for a total finish, thats after you beat the game and tackle the last boss. Roughly 25+hours.

Last boss should be relabled as "Most cheapening end game boss to date." Granted the scripts for some fights are completely random, this end boss could wipe you out in the first round due to its sheer awesomeness. Had to level to 99. 

Which is hair-ripping insanity due to the ultra cheap-shot monsters in the very last dungeon. (Oh be excited for this title!)

### 2/5 — It's ok...

*2012-10-15, version 1.1.4*

Ok game mechanics, lots of clicking involved. Story line is mediocre and the dialogue can't be closed. The ending takes 20 to 30 mins and half of that is dialogue that can't be sped up. Farm fest for end game weaponry and armor.  The ending was a let down. FF is a better choice.

### 5/5 — 面白い！

*2026-01-02*

ケムコのゲームの中でこのゲームは自分のランキングベスト10にはいるかな。1位は断トツでデビラビローグです。

### 5/5 — 道具が使えない

*2025-10-24*

戦闘画面で道具を押しても道具一覧が出ないです
最初のボス戦です
対応お願いします

### 5/5 — Don’t be fooled thinking this is a generic Kemco game

*2024-04-04, version 1.1.5*

Back in the day a lot of Kemco JRPGs had no IAP and this is one of them. They all varied and were different too. Not all games are the same. This game came out 12 years or so ago and I spent 60 hours on it. There are other classics that I enjoyed for their simplicity but this game had a lot of content and was quite challenging.

Soul of Deva is definitely one to check out as well.

### 5/5 — 面白い！

*2020-06-05*

レベル99で裏ボス倒せないはちょっと（笑）
装備強化して魅惑無効にすれば60ぐらいでも勝てますよ（笑）
個人的に、多少高くても良いので、PSP版へのアップグレード版を出してほしいですね。

### 5/5 — 再購入

*2018-12-14*

ガラケーの時にクリアしたが迷った末再度購入。

各登場人物の行動動機もしっかりしているし、ストーリーは文句なし。

作業感のあった素材集めも優秀なお助けキャラのおかげで相当楽になった。

戦闘は今のゲームに比べるとさすがにオート有ると言ってもテンポの悪さは感じられるが、まあ装備改良しやすくなった分強い武器での爽快感はあるかも。

想い出補正もあるけれど、しっかりと安心して遊べるゲームということで星５

### 5/5 — Fantasy Chronicle

*2016-05-14, version 1.1.5*

Fantasy Chronicle is one of Kemco's best publications, and definitely one of Hit-Point's greatest games. I can not recommend this one enough. I think it'll always be one of Kemco's best releases.

### 5/5 — 隠し要素もあって

*2016-05-04*

ガラケー時代からあるゲームですが、600円の価値のあるやり込めるゲーム、ストーリー！

### 5/5 — Reminder

*2013-11-27, version 1.1.4*

This game is astounding the story starts simple but later...
The mechanics work and the characters are loveable
The guardian beasts kind of remind me of the persona series which I have no problem with whatsoever

### 5/5 — なかなか面白い！

*2013-11-14*

ストーリー、システム共に良かった。
クリア後のストーリーも良かった。
暇つぶしには最高のゲーム。

操作は普通に出来るよ。

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-04-10, version 1.1.4*

Please please please update and optimise it for the iPhone 5, such a great rpg!
