Fans of 1990s RPGs seem to appreciate how the developers handled the transition to a 3D environment while keeping the core mechanics intact. The plot kicks off with the destruction of your homeland but quickly reveals deeper secrets behind General Nero's actions. You will need to manage resources and build your party as you uncover the sinister plan threatening the kingdoms. This title stands out because it respects the source material without feeling like a dated relic.
