Yeah, this is a pretty strong RPG, especially for Mega CD. It came out near the end of the system's life so only few played it.

I always wanted to try that, its always hard to say no to Klonoa, its even harder when its a Dragon Slayer clone.

Always loved the reflection of the scared bear in the knife. Very cool.

They were also supposed to be releasing a GOTY version with all DLC and the cover was a Kill Bill theme.

Ok while we all know this game sucks however I always thought the cover was great. One of the best ever for the time. Hold on let me explain. Many games from the era had mega man art or lazy art showing the sprite character as the cover. Not much you saw by cover that made you know you had to have that game. I swear every kid with an NES got suckered into renting or begging their parents to buy it.
Now kinda looks like a pic on cheap Halloween makeup packaging.

You really like Strategy games huh? You should look at the desktop thread.

I really remember this box sort of jumping out at me, screaming "buy me" then I saw it was 90$ and it yelled "don't buy me" Took me like a month of helping old ladies carry groceries and delivering parcels for distant family members in "construction" but I got it.
