Pros: unique gameplay system; brutally and unapologetically difficult Cons: brutally and unapologetically difficult; ugly graphics and unintuitive interface; too quirky for its own good The Bottom Line: If you're a strategy-RPG fan you might find this to be a flawed gem, but most should stay far, far away. Review: If there's one genre well represented in the DS library, it's turn-based strategy games, especially strategy RPGs.? from Shopping.com Rondo of Swords It is a really good game with lots of depth. The level up gliche is the only way to beat the game though. from Amazon.com Like many others here, I like these types of turn-based strategy games. Rondo unfortunately is mixed game that you might want to avoid. from Amazon.com I am a long time follower of Atlus releases, one might even call me a fanatic about it ;) But this game falls short of the usual greatness that I expect from Atlus, though it just barely misses the mark. By barely missing the mark I mean, this game, with a few very minor tweaks, would indeed be what I expected from an "epic" Atlus title. from Amazon.com This is quite a unique little strategy game for the DS. I'm not fond of Japanese RPGs in general, so I was glad to find ROS isn't too "Japanese". from Amazon.com Have you ever played a game that you could swear hated you personally? That's how I feel about Rondo of Swords, a game that seems to have been designed with the expressed purpose of being as unfair as possible. I won't go into the story because there is nothing to talk about here. from Amazon.com Rondo of Swords has a unique take on SRPGs where the emphasis is on the path that you take along with the direction when attacking an opponent. After a lot of cookie cutter SRPGs this is refreshing. from Amazon.com Yes, Rondo of Swords is not an easy game. It forces players to unlearn what they have learned about SRPGS. from Amazon.com As the title of my review suggests, this game is not easy. Those with experience playing strategy and tactics games will find this game playable. from Amazon.com There are ten lessons in all, each that will teach you how to play the game, otherwise you might find yourself frustrated when the enemy owns you in two seconds flat. I'm not far into the game yet, but the battle system is interesting. Instead of moving to the side, front, or behind the enemy you have to drag your character through the enemy otherwise no damage will be done. Unfortunately there are times where you cannot attack an enemy with this strategy because of the ZOC. from Amazon.com
