RPG DarkGate - KEMCO Reviews

No thunder magic?

Scarmiglione

It's a great game and honestly this didn't bother me that much but now theres jobs and resistances I want but can't get because for some reason I don't have the thunder magic tome so I can't be a thunder caster and everything following... Help please? Where is it?

Honest reviews? Any takers please?!?

Oh, let me count the ways how horrible of a shamble this game will become to you. Only hardcore, bored out of the mind RPG-gamers will finish this boring title developed by kemco. The theme by kemco is the same delivery again and again. Very few differences between each game. (Major frustration involved here.) Lets see: [the negatives] Bland and boring story! (Oh boy, multiple endings, but WHY?!? Torture!!) Clumsy targetting system, poor movement controls! $3 for the game, advance store inside for extra $ to make the game less harder. (Mind blown to discover the clear game didn't add any bonuses other then retain job/items/money.) Poor class system. Most classes are underused, if not completely ignored. Biggest bogus is the disadvantage if you decide to level up the other classes later in the game, but lose out on the passive skills due to tiers. Hokey! (Very uninteresting classes, mark a few uber special classes that aren't unlocked until you grind yourself to sheer mugging boredom near the very end of the game. Hint: thor.) The cost of items. In the previous games of kemco, your nearly item dependant. In this game, your not due to vital items costing 5k-10kplus. So by middle of the game you might be able to afford fruit and elixers, then find out that your abilities are far superior then blowing your money away. Monsters nearly immune to physical/magic attacks in the beginning of the game. Luckily the only battles you can't run away from is boss monsters. (I mean gimme a break here, some monsters were just unkillable beg/mid/endgame. Slugs having like 999def/magdef?) Quests. Big flopping failure. Especially the beads,coin,silver,mythril,50+ monster squashing quests. The problem about the 50+ is the RSG. (Random spawn generator.) With extradinairely low encounter rates for quests, rarely steal success attempts for collector quests. This alone drove me nearly to quit the quests itself. Being that if you fail to do them, you don't get the OP special tiers. So, chew off your nails afterwards. The very slim differences between each npc to party with. Lame story, backround, and overall commaderie. (What a bore!) ---- Lets see: [The good] Special dungeons [100 annoying floors later] that has some challengable optional boss monsters. Frankly I had the hardest time w/ the earth spirit boss. Autogrinding. Meaning: the characters automatically attack the npcs, up to you if you want to stack specials to do some devastating combos. (THANK THE GOOSES FOR A FAST FORWARD BUTTON!!!!) This is it. Leaves less to be desired unless you've downloaded nearly RPG like myself; rated only one game in good standing btw.

Help

Can anyone help me? I can't seem to combine magic :(

Awesome!

Really like this game it is similar to final fantasy. Just with a bad story (maybe I'm not far enough to get to the good stuff). The game play to me makes up for the bad plot :D job system is awesome in this one ??

Meh

I have played almost every turned based rpg on iOS and I didn't really enjoy this game. Lost my interest very early.

Definitely not worth more than a dollar.

For a dollar this was a great time killer (put about 15 or so hours into it), but it just wasn't a great game. Job/Class systems have always been a weakness of mine, so this game got me into it by the sheer amount of classes and how quickly they unlocked (the auto battle system makes grinding really easy). However, the classes aren't that great (you won't use most of them), the story is... dreadful, the characters are bland and forced (I couldn't get attached to any of them), and the graphics/artwork are pretty bad. Battles are fought mostly on their own and with a fast-forward button available, it'll probably be the button you use for anything but boss fights. If all you want is to run around and grind with characters who, with their horrible dialogue, would be better as silent protagonists, with a job system that needs a lot more to it, and battles that are pretty much just you watching the screen as the characters automatically fight.... then go for this. For a buck it's pretty decent, but I wouldn't buy it again nor do I recommend it for anything higher than one dollar. For $7 (current price) there are far better games out there, you could buy a few of them for this price!

Lot of fun

I've played for over 10 hours, and still plenty of game to go! Interesting story and fun combat. A great retro rpg!

Poor Man's Final Fantasy Dimensions

MrVariant

This game is similar to Final Fantasy Dimensions because both have job systems. However, this game has solid gameplay but a poor story. You will tire of the dialogue quickly, especially when Leo says, "Leo's the name, RPG's my game." In a way you can try to see how campy the dialogue is, in a sort of so bad it's good way. Darkgate just has you tap on tiers to change to stronger jobs and manually set individual abilities, so it is a bit confusing at first (with no tutorial). Fortunately it becomes simple to use once you get used to activating passive abilities and skills. You can also speed up battles and you basically break up auto battle with commands/abilities rather than input turns, so the fighting is nice. Fortunately, the game is an improvement on Grinsia because it has better menus and you can quickly enter/exit towns and dungeons. I do like how Darkgate lets you change the difficulty at any time in case there are spikes or you need a level 1 character to level up quickly. In short, play it while it is on sale if you need to laugh at something or are in an rpg drought.

Old school

The game is good but I have a problem with the automatic attack can controlled the battle. Please make an update to have the control of battle system. THANKS FOR THE ATTENTION.!!!!
