A grand experiment

- The original was highly experimental and few other games have followed suit.
- The game presents the story of eight characters within nine different scenarios.
- Each adventure takes place in different setting - from prehistoric times to the far future - and offers unique mechanics to enhance gameplay.
The remake met with a warm reception - on Metacritic the Switch edition of Live A Live has an average rating of 81%.
