It's a nifty little RPG/puzzle game for the DS. It's similar to a lot of the online gem matching games, where you try to match 3 or more of a color. The difference is, in this game you're only matching gems to power your attacks. Each of the four classes has a variety of spells and abilities, and you can capture and train monsters to learn additional abilities and so on. The plot is sort of sparse, but sufficient to keep things going and provide a sense of direction. The game is fairly open ended, though. Each section of the main plot opens up easily two or three hours of secondary material, and once you have a dungeon to capture monsters with that can consume tons of time as well.
I've put maybe ten hours into it so far and am absolutely enjoying the heck out of it. I only recently got my DS, and this game is really making me enjoy it.
My biggest gripe is that you're penalized very harshly for attempting to move a gem to a spot that doesn't result in a match, and the stylus makes it very easy to accidentally hit the wrong gem and cost yourself some life and a turn. And even that's pretty minor. I think it was mostly because up until now I haven't used the stylus much.
Anybody else played it? If so, what did you think?
Playing Etrian Odyseey and Touch the Dead atm~
My largest gripe about the game was the fact that about half the map serves no purpose whatsever. It's just empty.
Multiplayer is all about Cunning, going first is so catastrophically huge.
Granted it was mostly whoever goes first performs a brutal string of agony that kills your opponent before he can even take his first turn... but still <_<
I'm going to have to buy this. Gains mentioned the one with Yahtzee last night and how it is rare now. And the shit is going for 50 bucks on eBay.
And...does the Trouble one at least make a bubble pop sound? 
O=
I remember one day thinking to myself "Man, it would be the best thing ever if they put monopoly out on the DS." And just a mere day or two later I see that magical game on a shelf at EB. It was love at first sight.
