Heard about this game a while back, and was surprised to see it arrived this morning so I'm going to pick it up and check it out in a little while The Sega Master System (SMS) was a nice system back in the day, hopefully they'll pick up on Phantasy Star (and the Genesis sequel Phantasy Star II)!

Here's a gameplay video of it on youtube by some other site. Not so great that the d-pad covers that bottom corner of the screen, imho. CommanderData Well-Known Member Patreon Indie Nov 2, 2008 1,198 20 38 http://www.ChronoSoft.com #3 CommanderData, Sep 22, 2009 Sorry for the false alarm! I do have multiple projects brewing, and will be making announcements in the upcoming games forum sometime soon though. You've been a great supporter, so if you can keep a secret I might be willing to share a few details in advance On the subject of Govellius, it actually isn't bad if you don't mind the 1987 graphics! Action oriented RPG with overhead and side-scrolling areas, the controls are pretty responsive (my thumb and the D-pad get in the way of the view occasionally but not too bad). Plays a lot like Zelda II on the NES. The game auto-saves *exactly* where you are on exit, and has multiple save slots. Only made it out of the first cave and into the desert-looking area so far, just 10 minutes of play into something that will take many hours to complete. So the initial impression is surprisingly decent game if you like action RPGs and are not hung up on 3-D GFX and pixel shaders Ravenblack Well-Known Member Feb 24, 2009 1,755 0 0 Singapore #4 Ravenblack, Sep 22, 2009 CD: Heh For this game, I'll KIV this game for now. Have to finish the lot I downloaded the past week or so. From the gameplay video, the camera centralises on the character, so view blocking is not a big problem, I guess. The graphics are retro beautiful. zztfox Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2008 812 0 0 #5 zztfox, Sep 22, 2009 Bring on the Sega Master System classic Phantasy Star!

Koranda New Member Jul 27, 2009 3 0 0 Community Manager Paris http://www.dotemu.com/ #7 Koranda, Sep 23, 2009 Thanks CommanderData for the topic ! We (DotEmu) have submitted a small update that fixes minors bugs that sould be available very soon. We are working on another update that will slightly increase the speed of the game. We have reduced the speed of the game in some areas (and the number of monsters) to make the game easier to play with a virtual pad. Please keep posting your comments and critics so we can keep improving the game Torombolo Member Aug 8, 2009 7 0 0 #8 Torombolo, Sep 23, 2009 DOWLOADED THE INSTANT I ARRIVED AT HOME LOL I remember playing this on the master system (since i did not knew much English then i just wandered like an idiot till bumping on what to do lol) Never got pass the 3 boss Now i can play it to my heart content Maybe you guys can add difficulty levels. EX: Right now how the game is could be easy, the game at normal speed and with the normal monsters spawns could be normal or something djflippy Well-Known Member Mar 9, 2009 4,441 0 36 #9 djflippy, Oct 2, 2009 Now $1.

BazookaTime Well-Known Member Sep 30, 2009 5,340 1 36 Kansas http://www.paulmcraelind.com #11 BazookaTime, Oct 2, 2009 Wow, that didn't last long. I tried to grab it about 30 minutes ago and while it still stated it was .99, I couldn't dl it because it was being modified. It is now back up to 1.99. I don't have a problem with 1.99 but I have so many games I need to play I will just wait. At .99, I would have grabbed it just to have it. What would be the reason a company drops the price of a game for only a couple of hours? spiffyone Well-Known Member Dec 7, 2008 2,562 0 0 #12 spiffyone, Oct 2, 2009 ^^^It's $0.99 on iTunes. If you're on your phone or touch, click the title of the game and it should refresh the price. No...wait...now I click on the title and it states $1.99. But the link on this site goes to $0.99. appreview123 Well-Known Member May 20, 2009 104 0 0 #13 appreview123, Oct 2, 2009 Has anyone played this game all the way through that could give a stamp of approval? New England Gamer Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2009 6,143 1 0 #14 New England Gamer, Oct 2, 2009 Not allowing me to purchase at 99 cents.

BazookaTime Well-Known Member Sep 30, 2009 5,340 1 36 Kansas http://www.paulmcraelind.com #16 BazookaTime, Oct 2, 2009 I tried for a good thirty minutes to get in on this deal and the game was being modified. (That was about three hours ago) This price drop must have only lasted an hour or so, so I am not sure why they did that. New England Gamer Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2009 6,143 1 0 #17 New England Gamer, Oct 2, 2009 That is discouraging. The thing is I didn't even see this game when it came out and would have gladly paid the full price but now that I know there was a price drop I may not even get it at all if they only dropped the price for an hour! appreview123 Well-Known Member May 20, 2009 104 0 0 #18 appreview123, Oct 2, 2009 Looks like there was no real price drop... Only a apple mistake. Checked all the price drop app's and websites and I don't see it at all. Looks like either apple messed up or the sale is coming...
