Precipice 3 is great, regardless of your familiarity with titles such as Final Fantasy IV and Chromo Trigger, but if you have no love for 16-bit RPGs, you love something extra to be found here. The whole art direction, music and even sound effects are all heavily inspired by role-playing games of the 90s. It fits well with the Penny Arcade odd cast of characters from the web comic, like robot that loves fruit little too much, or the treacherous deep Crow and the stronger Deeper Crow.
The combat system is well-known turn-based affair that encourages experimentation by variety of classes to try and attack your team. The various classes of badges that can offer collection of magical attacks, melee attacks, healing spells, or dinosaur transformation can be identified. Some are stranger than others. Each member of your team takes up to three badges upgradable, each with different set of skills. Even if none of the characters are wearing special badge, it must still levels up so you do not start from scratch if you want to try something new.
Experimenting with the combat system is of crucial importance, because the players have little freedom when it is fighting for the exploration of the environment and the election comes. You have to be moved on rails in the open world from place to place, and if you start to fight and explore region type are few alternative paths available. The number of enemies is the default, you will not be able to experience farm means.
On some occasions when I fight boss, I could not backtrack to grind enemies, because I had already defeated all of them. It's not big concern, however, because it allows you to switch out badges and try different tactics inspired.
From another perspective, complaining about not being able to fight more enemies, or to explore the environment is compliment, I am enjoying the game so much that I just want to keep playing, and I wish there would be more opportunities for gamers 'offer to extend time with it. Play until the end credits will take about 6-8 hours, and there's not much incentive for you to start from scratch or to continue playing.
The game's full title is hilarious wordy, which is an indicator of its biggest problem: too many words, not enough content behind them. Precipice 3 the political dialogue is clever - and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny - but the stones are often drowned in sea of attempted humor.
To see throw tons of gags about the player, what sticks approach which means that you will be bombarded with jokes, and the sheer volume leads to lot of missed marks.
The game reads like an old-school text adventure, but much of the humor relies on the occasional accident and left the field references. Breed of humor that works well in small pieces, such as 15-minute episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but more than that and it will remain interested difficult as the 86-minute Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters.
The story promotes joke about interesting plot developments of 100 percent of the time. In scenario where you have to enter building, inexplicably, by wormhole attack in furious street homeless exist three blocks away. Of course you could just points into the building through the window to one of your party members out, but that would not be so funny as to leave to the homeless for few minutes to thereby ultimately exactly where you were already struggling. It is funny gag, but it's not good at telling stories.
History is important when it comes to role playing, and the abyss 3 is difficult to estimate because it is not complicated, but because it does not follow recognizable way, and goes only where it takes the humor. Fortunately, the meandering narrative is not deal breaker, what the game lacks in story perceptible; it makes for interesting fights, great music and nostalgia.
