Inuyasha: Secret of the Divine Jewel

About

Inuyasha: Secret of the Divine Jewel is a turn-based RPG for the Nintendo DS based on the long-running anime and manga series. You guide a cast of familiar characters including Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku through scripted battles against demons and ancient threats. Combat uses a command-based system with real-time element switching and the Cover Fellow System, letting you toggle between party members mid-fight to exploit weaknesses. Missions often blend platforming sections with battles, and the story follows a straightforward quest to stop a corrupted jewel from destroying the world. The game leans heavily on established lore and character dynamics, which should feel familiar to series fans. While reviews at launch were mixed with some criticizing repetitive enemies and basic visuals, the tactical depth of the battle system and roster of voice-acted characters stood out. With over 30 hours of content and optional side quests, it offers a decent grind for fans of tactical RPGs. The DS touchscreen controls combat commands directly, which adds a layer of convenience for on-the-go play.
