Resonance of Fate is eccentric, but not in a good, kindly uncle with a monocle way. It's more like a moustachioed aunt who hurls cats at you. Still, if you can cope with its oddness, the combat is a tasty hybrid melding of strategy and action that's c...

Greetings RPG fans, boy have you been blessed. Two quality Japanese RPG`s in the same month. First came the hotly anticipated thirteenth Final Fantasy game. This was one of the best looking games on any console, but some may say that the scrapping of t...
Excellent battle system, very challenging, classic JRPG but with enough inovation to put it above the crowd.
Poor graphics, difficult learning curve, confusing tutorial.

Resonance of Fate takes place in the far future, where most of Earth has become ravaged by harsh environmental changes that make global warming look like a mild summer heat wave. Fortunately for humanity, they've got their wits together long enough to create Basel: a massive purification tower that cleanses the air around it, making day-to-day life possible for what's left of the human race. Being hundreds of miles high and crafted from machinery that seemingly defies the laws of mass and ph...

The overall experience is hampered by uneven difficulty and punishing learning curves that will surely frustrate even dedicated RPG fans...
When it comes to stylish Japanese role-playing games with extraordinarily weird battle systems, you can’t go much further out into left field than developer tri-Ace. The creators of the Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile franchises certainly aren’t afrai...

Sega has decided to release its brand new JRPG a few weeks after the ridiculously hyped Final Fantasy XIII. And yet for all the poor timing of Resonance Of Fate, it could prove to be something of a shrewd move on Sega’s part; especially as Square’s 13t...
Fresh and exciting, Resonance Of Fate is a truly enjoyable RPG that defies traditional conventions to deliver a truly rewarding experience. Its high difficulty factor and complicated combat will be a barrier for many, but those willing to take a gamble...

While Final Fantasy tries to be progressive by appealing to the masses – simplifying and streamlining to the point where where some series’ fans are feeling left out – Resonance of Fate raises an eyebrow and then heads in completely the opposite direct...

The future of Earth is a bleak and crowded one; in a time distant from now, the planets terrain becomes ravaged by environmental changes that render it inhospitable. Poisonous layers of gas spread across the land, nearly wiping out all of humanity. Th...
Complex and intricate combat system; excellent characters backed by terrific voice acting; a real challenge without cheap antics; some absolutely hilarious moments; tremendous lasting appeal; NG and plenty of difficulty levels to unlock...
Slice of life progression is not for everyone; poor gameplay tutorials; lessthanimpressive visuals.
Resonance of Fate is a remarkable achievement on many fronts. From its multi-genre blend of combat to its believable cast, the game shows that tradition is not necessary to make a fun game. While it fails to impress on a technical level, the sheer enjo...

On the face of it, Resonance of Fate appears to be a JRPG thoroughly invested in the unconventional. Yet, compared to some of its contemporaries, the game's design philosophy is decidedly conservative. It retains, even emphasizes features that other...

Bright hub reviews the new all action RPG from Sega and Tri-Ace. Released in the wake of Final Fantasy XIII, can Resonance Of Fate prove itself a better alternative to Square Enix's franchise juggernaut? Final Fantasy beater?Bravery. The key word that...
This is undoubtedly an admirable effort from Sega and Tri-Ace, to present another RPG to a gaming world that may not have been sated by the bloated Final Fantasy XIII. It's also admirable that they manage squeeze something fresh out of the tired old JR...

These are interesting times for the Japanese role-playing game; times of progression, growth and change. I’m of course referring to the fantastical behemoth that is Final Fantasy XIII, but while the likes of Leona Lewis might be enjoying the new access...

The first time you fall in battle you will assume it's a fluke. How could a normal, low-level enemy triumph over your team of gun-toting heroes? The second time you fall, you will grit your teeth, wipe your brow, and rush right back into the fray. The...
Unique combat mechanics require a lot of strategy to succeed, Challenging enemies put up a fight without being cheap, Quirky story provides laughs and drama, Exploration injects light puzzle solving, Stays interesting all the way through the lengthy adventure.
Lack of visual variety, Combat is difficult to grasp.
Stylish combat that is as challenging as it is exciting provides the backbone for this great role-playing game...

What’s it about?Resonance of Fate is a JRPG where you control members of a private military contracting firm in a world where most of Earth has been rendered uninhabitable. The only remaining pockets of civilization surround the tower of Basel, an expe...
The setting and weapons are a refreshing change from typical RPGs, Indepth, multilayered battle system that performs magnificently, Addictive EXP levelling system.
Challenge may be too tough for some. This isn't an instantly accessible RPG, Outside of the blisteringly fast and colourful combat, everything else seems a little boring.

Putting Resonance of Fate up against the biggest RPG of the year might not have been the soundest decision from well-meaning folks at Sega. After all, competing with a highly-anticipated, years-in-the-making RPG blockbuster like Final Fantasy XIII is a...
