Poor Man's Final Fantasy Dimensions – RPG DarkGate - KEMCO Review

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.
