The control system has been streamlined to work perfectly with modern touch interfaces.
The position of the directional pad can be adjusted freely, enabling players to switch between one-handed and two-handed play with a tap of the screen.
The combat system has also been reworked, allowing for one-tap battles as well as more complex play.

During battle, you can select 'Psyche Up' to give your next attack some extra oomph!
The more you psyche a character up, the higher their tension will rise, until they finally reach an insane state known as super-high tension!

Playing in 2023

I decided to play this iOS port of the game from my childhood. I really love the art style and storytelling of this classic, but it does suffer from a few problems. It is at times unstable with its overall perfomance.

Sometimes interacting with objects and NPCs can be clunky, which is evident by you having to navigate with touchscreen controls. I like using a traditional controller like I did on PS2 back in the day.

This was a whole lot more easier and made the game a more enjoyable experience. I hoped this port would have supported at the very least Playstation and/or Xbox + Nintendo Controllers, but it doesn’t sadly.

Another gripe I have with the game is its seemingly random crashes. I have only experienced this once so far, but I suspect this will happen again, if not multiple times.

This one time I’m speaking of, was after me using the Evac Spell after completing the second dungeon of the game. I was teleported outside like I was supposed to be, but then the game froze, rendering the controls broken and non-responsive.

Thankfully, I had saved moments before this, so I’m not far behind. It seems like the only way to combat this is to save as often as possible, which is a hassle.

The developers could have ironed this port out better, but I notice the last update was 4 years ago. It seems unlikely they will return and fix the current issues this title has. However I do hope I’m wrong in assuming so.

For the reasons stated above, I give this game 3 stars. 1 star removed for the clunky controls and another one for its performance issues.

Almost perfect

It's great to be able to play this game again! Really like the art style, the sound and the mechanics. One thing I do miss is voice acting as from the original. If you can get that in, this game will be perfect
