 SALE Evergrace 2 [In Stock, PS2-JAPAN] US$96.98

 NCS Product Synopsis

Update June 21, 2001
«©NCSX» 
Prequels are a theme this week. Atelier Lilie goes back in time and the hero Yuterald of the original Evergrace does the same. Faced with the death of his family and destruction of his village by the hand of a villain named Morea, Yuterald ventures forth to seek vengeance. He's accompanied by a friend named Ryanna along with Fillna, a mysterious young woman with a veiled past. Together, the trio collaborate and go on an adventure to exact revenge on an evil empire and to help Fillna discover hidden memories.

   During their travels, an assortment of weaponry and gear may be found or appropriated which helps the heroes advance their physical and metaphysical skills. The magical system adjunct dubbed Palmyra Action helps you strike with mega attacks but this is only available to you upon locating Palmyra crystals to boost your weapons or armor. The fighting and battle sequences during a monster mash are impressive, with Yuterald or Ryanna charging and striking with the quickness. Spells also erupt on the battlefield to mighty crescendo, lacing creatures with pyrotechnics or rippling the ground around beasts with dramatic effects.
 
   Visually impressive, NCS was wowed this morning when this game piped itself through an XRGB-2 to our monitor. Environment graphics are beautiful, special effects shine, and luminescent magical spells are sparkling jewelry. Evergrace 2 is a pretty game which plays in a decent way from what we've been able to view so far.

Update: July 10, 2008
«©NCSX»The irrepressible Stafi (aka Stafy) is back in another side-scrolling platform game where the five-pointed action hero jump, spins, and shoots his way through candy-colored levels. Stafi's sister Stapy also returns to give her brother a hand with the cooperation feature where two players can join up and tackle bosses and stages together. Stapy is similar to her sibling in that she moves and spins just like Stafi but she's colored pink and wears a bow.

Similar to previous Stafi adventures on the Gameboy, vehicles and animals may be used as carriages to travel through the levels in grand style. In addition to the overall adventure, a number of mini-games (card tricks, matching games, etc) may be enjoyed to break the monotony of the platform action.
