Top 50 Games #40: Lufia II






WHAT'S IT ABOUT:


So if you remember the beginning of the first Lufia game that the prologue was a bunch of do-gooders that had to had to save the world from the evil Sinistrals.  In this game, it's a simple case of How We Got There where you play as those do-gooders for most of the game.  The lead do-gooder, Maxim, is off monster-hunting when he bumps into a mysterious green-haired chick named Iris who tells him that he has to save the world from Sinistrals and send him off on a perilous journey of love, hate and whacking everything with a sword.

WHY I LIKE IT:

This game is pretty damn good. It attempts to fix every flaw that the first Lufia game had.  It looks brighter and even more colorful.  The puzzles run the gamut from interesting to mind-numbingly hard, but it's always good.  The battles system gets away from the strategy from the first game but it's replaced with the innovative IP skills and the capsule monster ally.  You don't even have to play the first game(not that you really should either unless you like bland competency) to even understand it.  It's a great game that should not be missed.

MY FAVORITE PART:
The return of Dekar
