Blood of Bahamut

About

You’re stuck in a city perched atop a giant that’s just woken up. That’s the hook for Blood of Bahamut. The game follows a group of misfits navigating collapsing environments while battling enemies and the growing threat of their unstable world. Turn based combat mixes standard RPG mechanics with resource management, as you balance survival and progression. Single player mode focuses on the main story but you can also team up or battle others in local multiplayer. The real draw is the setting. Cities built on slumbering beasts turning against their inhabitants is a sharp concept, and the DS hardware keeps the visuals lean but expressive. Square Enix’s name on the box gave it legs in 2009 but the game itself carved a niche. It’s remembered more for its original premise than lasting polish, with some players praising the urgency of fighting while the ground crumbles.
