Underrated Games
Posted: May 31st, 2010, 12:20 pmSo, every once in awhile, you'll buy this game from some market, and you'll think that it might suck, because you've never heard of it before. But then, you get into it, and you see that although it may be weak in one area, it's the best in another. List those kinds of games here.
Mystic Heroes - Producer: KOEI - For Nintendo Gamecube
This game lacks story and voice-acting, but gameplay and graphics is superb.
Story:
It stars several young mystic that locked away an evil king (Kang) and his army. There is a dragon star that comes to Earth's orbit every million years. Kang takes control of the star to release him and his army, and now thirsts for revenge against the mystics. It's up to the mystics to lock Kang away again and return the dragon star's power.
Gameplay:
You are one person, and you have to fight through enemy units. You can attack with your sword and create combos by repeatedly pressing the A-button, and combos differ depending on distance from your enemy. You also have the choice of using magic spells. I know, it sounds pretty cliche, but here's the thing. You can pick which spells to bring with you on a mission, and make combos out of those too. There are 4 types of spells. Direct spell (a small burst infront) target spell (choose multiple targets from afar) swordspell (=epic combos) and jumpspell (jump up and toast everyone under and around you.) Make combos to demolish you enemies quickly. There are 4 attributes that spells have. (lightning is fast, strong but consumes more magic<can also slow down enemies>) (wind is pretty even in all areas<confuses enemies>) (fire is same as lightning, except it's a lot slower<burns>) (ice takes up less magic and is relatively weak, but consumes less magic<freezes>)
