More like Diamond Story. Perfect game!
When I first found this on the NG frontpage, I was curious. I clicked it and began, and I was thoroughly impressed. Fluent movement, classic RPG style fights and leveling system, a comedic, but riveting, story accompanied by even more comical side quests, unforgettable music, and a vast variety of equipment.
Each character is different and interesting in their own ways; I always viewed Tristam as the quarky leader, Kaeli as the serious dependant, Pheobe as the comic relief that literally kicks arse, and Rueben as the quiet undertaker and lady's man. They all had so much life given to them in the main quest, and even the side quests. I always try to give each one a specific skill/style that specifies each character. Tristam is my all-around fighter, Kaeli is my sure-shot physical and somewhat strong magical fighter, Pheobe is my strong-hitting, but inaccurate, physical and strong magical fighter, and Rueben is my somewhat physical, but very powerful magical fighter.
This game is one of my all-time favorites on NG for its simplicity, but fresh take on a timeless genre of gaming. You, my friend, have impressed a hard critic. Good luck in your future works. As for this one, it gets the HawkeyedElite Seal of AWESOME!
