Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

91/100

Romancing SaGa 3 is an absolute titan of the JRPG genre, and this HD remaster is the definitive way to experience it. For those unfamiliar with the SaGa series, it stands apart from Final Fantasy due to its non-linear structure. You choose one of eight protagonists, and from there, the world truly opens up. The 'Free-form Scenario' system means your choices and the order in which you tackle quests drastically change the narrative, providing a level of replayability that was decades ahead of its time in 1995.

The combat is equally unique, featuring the 'Glimmer' system where characters learn new abilities mid-battle when facing tough foes. The HD remaster does a beautiful job of sharpening the pixel art without losing its retro charm, and the inclusion of a new dungeon and 'New Game+' makes it worth a return for veterans. It's a challenging, complex, and deeply rewarding RPG that respects the player's intelligence and curiosity. If you want a game where you can truly forge your own path, this is it.

Great Update/Translation Still a Couple Bugs Though
Fri Nov 15 2019 J383950

I’ve been playing this for a couple days now and I really like how the graphics were updated. It’s also nice to have a fully translated version. There are, however, a couple bugs I’ve seen. For some reason, excess money just disappears when playing Mikhail. It doesn’t show up in the treasury like it’s supposed to.

Please fix

This is a great game. I have enjoyed most of the saga games. The big issue with this game is the touch controls. If I have a group of enemies it can be impossible to select the one you want to hit. I just had an instance no matter how often I went back and attempted to select the proper enemy. No matter the amount of attempts I was forced to hit the enemy that was already selected. This was not due to any agro effect by enemies just wanted to make that clear. Developers please fix this. It’s as easy as adding a arrow on the far side to click up and down would fix this nonsense! Otherwise really good game!

Lazy port

Long time fan who played the original on super famicom (still have the cartridge!) here. I can forgive the utter lack of modernization (low FPS, no support for new screen sizes etc). What I absolutely cannot stand is the fact that despite the Japanese language support being there (you can activate it by setting the iOS language to Japanese), there is no in-game or app settings-based way (preferred language) to enable it. Come on guys. Aren’t we past the days of faux region locked games??? Please enable the language selection in some way and this is a 5-star revival of a squaresoft golden age masterpiece.

Retro Classic

This being part of SaGa: the game requires more thought than the usual JRPG. This edition has splendid graphics, some extra content including an anytime you want New Game+. The touchscreen interface is well thought out but the actual input is rather sticky, which RS2 had the same problem.

Good, but...

The controls are broken, for the most part. You click on one thing and then it registers as clicking on something else. I spend so much time struggling against the menu system to get it to do what I actually want. Please fix this!

Amazing game
Sun Jan 26 2020 Shidokan57

Imo opinion this game is awesome. Its like FF6 era graphics with a non linear gameplay and tons of replay value with the different story lines. Highly recommend to anyone who grew up on the snes final fantasy games.
