I always point out my perspective first: a relative newcomer to gaming. I got into it because my kids love it. My two favorite categories are RPG and Puzzle. I originally downloaded a demo of this from my Wii and after trying to figure it out basically just decided it was not for me--seemed too complicated and ornate. I did pick up a copy for my daughter (teen) who is a very good gamer. It came with a soundtrack and my fate was sealed when she asked to play the soundtrack in the car. The music is haunting and dramatic, rich and resonating--I was transfixed by it and decided I must play the game.
Well I've since started and finished this game. I consider it one of the most rewarding games I've ever played on my DSi. It took a while to figure out what I was doing and there was a definite trial and error period but the tutorials are superb and you can go back to them at any time. I do not like first person shooters or action games and had never played a bullet type game previously -- so for those who are afraid because these terms are used don't be. If you can handle a complex challenge and have perseverance and patience you will become very emotionally invested in this world. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing the story is -- and the way it unfolds is masterful. I could, literally, not stop playing this and even called out sick one day to finish the game.
I'm not going to describe the gameplay because, frankly, until you experience it or watch it you're not going to understand much anyway. I didn't. The bottom line is that if you love a good story, amazing art and music in your RPG you owe it to yourself to spend a few hours with this title. Don't give up in the beginning. You'll get the hang of it as the best way is to immerse yourself in the game. I even cried at one point (I never cry). Most enthusiastically recommended!Get more detail about Knights in the Nightmare.
