Video Game Reviews of Makai Kingdom
Customer Review: Makai Kingdoms? Another Disgaea perhaps?
Summary: 5 Stars
Makai Kingdoms is about an arrogant overlord of the netherworld that makes a horrible mistake dooming himself and his world to oblivion. This once great overlord must begin anew with a ragtag army and rely on the help of other overlords to regain his power, among other things. It is your task to lead this army and help him regain what he lost. That is the overall just of the storyline and plot. The story is pretty easy to follow and has an interesting twist or two in it with multiple endings. This game has both a serious side and a comical side to catch the interests of most players. If you don't have a sense of humor I'm not sure you will like the game though.
Makai Kingdoms is a strategy turn-based RPG game. Similar games include: Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, La Pucelle, Phantom Brave, and the Vandal Hearts series. I suggest playing at least Disgaea, if not Phantom Brave as well, before playing this game because you will recognize some hidden characters later from these games if you do and better enjoy the humor in it.
As for game play, it works much like Disgaea, if you are familiar with it, with a little of Phantom Braves' confining added in for the formation of characters. Unlike Phantom Brave, you don't have to confine everyone to items for battle....THANK GOD! It works like Disgaea where you can summon them on screen within a certain distance of the base, or Zetta, in this case. It has added the use of mechanical vehicles and buildings to add a more interesting combat environment.
The graphics are similar to that of Disgaea....which gives it an anime type feel.
The UPS to the game:
Characters can multi-class, leveling is quick, skills are attached to people rather than weapons, you can store over 1000 or more items if I recall.....I've never needed that much though, vehicles, facilities, smooth motioned game, replay ability, hidden characters, new classes and monsters, multiple endings, clean humor, and the prinnys are back!!! :)
The DOWNS to the game:
In order to get ANY of the secret characters it requires you to go through the game a second time and in order to get ALL of the secret characters you must go through the game 5 times over. A second time is fairly reasonable but any more is getting a bit carried away. This is particularly a problem since nothing changes when you go back through it. This wouldn't be so bad if there was another reason to go through all the level 1 monster stages but there really isn't. It would make a lot more sense to allow the option to go through again or just have the aftermath stories AFTER the fact and let you remain at the end with the option to unlock further levels and return to previous stages. The language is a little harsh, which is fine for me, but not for most teens. It is rated TEEN with Language, Mild Fantasy Violence, and Sexual Themes. So, it is stated, in a manner. Okay, bugs.... I know if you put out the maximum of 3 facilities, put out the maximum of 8 fully equipped characters and try to throw some object out of bounds in some random dungeons it says you can't have anymore objects on screen. AKA too much stuff for the game to handle. Well, if that was the case, it shouldn't let you bring on that many items, characters, etc. I've also noticed it is possible to summon someone into a situation where they cannot move stuck in an object...However, this is very rare.
I hope this helps you with your buying decision.
