you guys gotta get this game. it's for the DS. it's got an awesome storyline, it's got an awesome and unique(if not hard to get used to)battle system, and...well, I think the description from a CARA forum user explains it better than I could.
The newest RPG created by Square. You play as Neku Sakuraba, a teenager that doesn't care about anyone else and practically hates the world. He blocked off the world by using his headphones. One day, he wakes up to find himself in this "Reapers' Game". Basically, you have to survive 7 days and complete missions. Failure to do the missions will cause you to be "erased". Also, dying to the "Noise", the monsters in this game, also causes you to be erased.
You NEED to be with a partner and if that partner dies, then Neku dies. The combat system involves controlling both screens at the same time. The partner has to attack enemies on the top screen, while Neku does his own stuff at the bottom. If you kill and enemy on the top screen, then it's gone on the bottom screen and vice versa. The partner gets to do a combo branch thing that looks like this.
<<<^
<<<<<
<<<v
Just follow the arrows and you'll finish it up with an attack. There's branches because it will lead to a different card or something. Cards are used for fusions and will be explained in the game, since it's a bit confusing. Fusions are basically super attacks or whatever.
On the bottom screen, Neku uses his pins to attack. There's many pins that have different functions and they each have different stats. Attack, which is obviously the attack power; Uses, which is how many of it you can use until it has to reboot; Boot, which is how long it takes until you get to use it in the beginning of the battle; and Reboot, which is how lng it takes until you can use the pin again.
Also, there's no random encounters. Huzzah.
it's seriously the best game I've ever played. just...go get it. now.
