Stranger of Sword City Message Board  

Just noticed this on my front page of Steam as a new release and at first I thought it was was going to be one of those common indie RPG created via RPGMaker (not that they are awful, but they don't quite appeal to me) but alas it's a good looking Dungeon Crawler from NIS America (whose games, even taking to account their quality varies, are at least decent to play and/or have some fun moments.)

The fact one of the screenshots show that you can have a Prinny as a party character is a bonu Anyone else interested in this game or have heard any reviews/thoughts (professional or otherwise) about it?

I'm interested in this game but haven't seen any reviews on it outside of Steam. I'm waiting for the price to drop more, though, as I've been scooping up a bunch of Steam games lately and I'm going to take a little break until the Steam Summer Sale (which should be starting soon).

I have been playing it for a while, and what I can tell you, is that if you like Wizardry or Elysium you will like this too. It is a dungeon crawler, with a slight twist in that YOU are from a modern world, pulled into like a Bermuda triangle styled area in a plane, and people from our world are "Chosen" because gravity affects you differently and makes you stronger and faster then the natives. It has some cool features, like setting up ambushes to raid enemies, but not a whole lot that hasn't been done before. Its really just fan service for old Wizardry fans.
