Romancing SaGa 3

The game starts ten years after another Eclipse. No one knows, however, whether this time the surviving child will turn out to be good or bad. Worse still, the expelled Demonic Lords are trying to return to the world. For the time being, the portals are too small for them to be able to enter the world of mortals, so they start to possess innocent people to open the gates with their help.

Mechanics

Romancing SaGa 3 is a jRPG, in which we control a party of heroes, explore the world, develop our characters, fulfill tasks and, above all, fight in a turn-based battle system. In accordance with the tradition of this series, however, the production offers several other elements, which make it stand out from the standard representatives of the genre.

Starting the game we choose between eight characters. Each of them has a completely different campaign, with a unique plot and challenges, as well as its own side missions. In addition to standard skirmishes, we can also activate the so-called Commander mode. It enables us to expose use more characters in battles, use formations and additional abilities that require the cooperation of many warriors. However, this option forces us keep our main character out of the battle, who then stands behind and only gives orders.

Technical aspects

Romancing SaGa 3 was originally released on a 16-bit console, so the game features simple two-dimensional visuals. However, it offers an attractive style and has been lightly tuned to the needs of newer platforms.
