Fantastic game - aged very well

Saga was one of my favorite series as a kid so I may be a bit biased but I think this remake is really good. What makes Saga great is the open world and the level of challenge. The battle system is addictive unique in a lot of ways. Save often as you can occasionally get into situations where you can't get out of a dungeon or scenario and may not be capable of beating the boss. Always keep a few different saves going in case you box yourself in. The game may seem rudimentary and from a story perspective it is fairly simple but the mechanics, challenge and replay value are all really good. Don't give up after an hour or two. Play for at least 4-5 hours and I think you will be a fan !

Eh

I’m glad I only paid 5 dollars for this. I’m a longtime Final Fantasy fan, so when I found this game under the Square Enix link in the App Store, I thought I’d give it a try. I had to back up and start over in this game numerous times to get anywhere. Whether or not you can beat the bosses doesn’t always seem to depend on how strong your party is but rather what your progression is in the game. I got stuck so many times in this game, I frequently had to look online for guides. Those weren’t always available, either because they weren’t in English or they were guides for the 3D version of this game, which appears to have been altered more than just in appearance. I read that there was an abdicate feature in an earlier version of this game that isn’t in this one, and it would’ve been helpful. I Made it to the end boss but then couldn’t beat it. I didn’t want to level grind for it, as this game had already brought me a lot of aggravation and boredom. I just stopped playing it and bought something else.

Awesome!!!

I will always have some bias towards Romancing Saga games because of the godly soundtrack by Kenji Ito. Having played RS1 and RS3, the controls felt familiar; the enemies no longer rush directly towards and trap the player when they enter a map like in the first game (as often), yet the graphics, battle system, and story feel weak compared to RS3. The graphics look cleaner than the original version, and there are now animated boss sprites. My biggest complaint would be how you control the movement of the main character and overall UI. It's unclear where you should tap when using an item/ sometimes I would press to the side and accidentally consume an item or make a wrong choice. The translations are also... kind of funky. "Seeling skill?" Sealing a skill? What? (Turns out I have to be careful not to tap the skill in the menu twice because that apparently DELETES it?) Lastly, it's also irritating how you still cannot restore LP at the inn like in RS3, and you essentially have to kill off a character's LP to remove them from your party. -- TL;DR -- Amazing music, interesting story (but a rather poor execution of it), ugly controls and UI, challenging gameplay.

Great Retro RPG with a lot of Challenges

Great, great game! This game is almost perfect with a few bugs especially in a few dungeons. Just walking around will cause the game to crash. To name a few: Gemstone Cave and Termite Den. Kindly make update fixes and continue to release great games such as this. (Tips to maintaining LP: Always make use of all 4 saves and save/load if you have to suffer some casualties. Only time I let my LP go down if my characters learned a skill and wouldn't want to repeat the process. That's the challenge in this game: trying to survive the game until the next generation)

Boring

The system is a little confusing because nothing is ever explained to you. What are skill points? How do you get more life points? Skills are learned randomly. Why does a person with 15 def get 1-shot while a person with 13 def takes 1/4 the damage? But the cardinal sin is that the game has a boring and disjointed story. It reminds me of Chinese movies that recount some popular or historical tale, and you're expected to already know what happens so they can jump around and just hit the highlights. Just say no. I bought this while on vacation for something to play while in line or on the bus. I won't even be using it for that. $18 down the drain.

Romancing Sagax10 stars!*

Best RPG in the Saga franchise better yet Iove the drama in the game is really addictive can't stop playing. I will like to have a virtual joystick for better movement just like the other Sagas I have played. Thanks is really a great master piece love it. Keep the good work. Where I can replenish lp of the player because it does not when they sleep in the inns. Please make a place to replenish lp. Thanks for the attention. Keep the good work.

Finally! Ported in English!

This was the first JRPG with non-linear storyline I've played. It also has a very different concept of money management, equipment acquirement, skill learning, and magic system like none other even to this day. If you are OK with a bit of retro graphic, you should try it. A bit of caveat is the survival control is pretty bad, but I am willing to tolerate it for all the unique qualities of the game.

Developer please fix bug

I’m only writing this to hopefully get their attention to fix this bug; this bug makes my game stuck in a storyline. Basically when I talk to Thieve’s Guild’s boss to ask for secret entrance to the fortress, my character says “Never mind” and that’s where it’s stuck. I did everything accordingly to the walkthrough, but can’t seem to get past that scenario and it seems like I’m not the only one with this problem. I’m not starting over the whole game just to take another chance of not encountering this bug. Sad and unacceptable.
