Resonance of Fate (Sony Playstation 3, 2010)

I feel I must warn you upfront: This is for hardcore rpg lovers. This is also for people who love the grind. Lastly, this game is DIFFICULT. If these words haven't swayed you away from your curiosity, congratulations! You might like this game.

Resonance of Fate is a robust, stylish action/rpg that houses one of the most gripping plots I've come across in a game. It also has a unique spin on turn-based gameplay by incorporating in with real-time battles.

Enemies don't move unless you move or attack. Superficial damage, called scratch damage is non-permanent and heals gradually over time, but if you or your enemy get hit by a direct damage type of attack, all scratch damage is converted into real damage and added to the direct attack's power. This game really shines with it's Hero Actions. By expending a Bezel shard, you can plot your movement and for a limited time attack as many times as you wish before reaching the end of you plotted destination.

The amount of customization, world map navigation, and battle strategy can get overwhelming sometimes but as stated before, this is for true rpg fans who won't quit when the going gets tough. I recommend buying the guide as it tremendously helps with side missions and acts as a handy bestiary.

this game has mercenaries against the clergy in a turn based role playing game switch real time trappings.each enemy and area requires a strategy to defeat or conquer.the game has a limit break-esque style basel system and different environmental demands.fight ing is one of the deepest parts of the game.the bosses are a bit of a challenge to beat and take some time to do it.the monsters look godd visually as do the characters.the movements seem a bit robotic though.the overworld is a hex based map that requires a cursor to move from place to place.the game has nice combat features and map structures ,which are fresh.this may be an alternative to try alongside final fantasy.

If you are not a big RPG fan, this game is not for you. There is a nice level of grinding involved, strategy in every battle (especially the boss battles) and understanding of the game that only develops with time. I would not say the game is extremely difficult if you are a seasoned RPGer, however it is very challenging and if you do not take the time to grind and customize and unlock terminals it WILL be a very difficult game to overcome. A very unique battle system mixes strategy, turn-base, and free-movement elements in a high-paced, gun-based battle. This game is honestly my favorite RPG in quite some time and it is more than worth the cost.

I can't believe what a grinder of a game this is. This is more than I could imagined and i'm so excited that it's just not some short lil action game, collecting these hidden bezel shards is a huge challenge and that my friends is what a game is suppose to do. Grinding will become your new best friend, i promise you that. If you got $20 bucks to spare, i recommend picking this one up. I have yet to beat this game. I love the combat system it's very unique and easy to get a handle on. The only downside that I have about this game is that I wish there were some more characters you could switch from specializing in different weapons such as the bazooka, sniper rifle, etc. But i suppose that would deter from the game's y 'fast' pace so some dlc would've been nice. All in all, i'm very satisfied with this title. SEGAAAA!

This is a very good and entertaining game. The graphics are really good in my opinion. The battle system is probably what the game is known for because it's very different from most games. They use guns and grenades and things of that like and i suggest watching a video of the battle system. You do have to level up a lot! At the beginning of each chapter you basically have to level up constantly. I would buy it again but if you hate leveling up in most of your games I wouldn't recommend it. If you like anime I would recommend it.
