L'encyclo de Mido

Current Mood: Super content

Again, a low cost game for iPhone, still 1.10 CHF.

Graphics
The graphics are partly dependent of the chosen scenario, but in the base one, it seriously reminds me of the firsts Final Fantasy. It is couloured but that is not a problem, what bothers me is more the copying.
Grade: 7 / 10

Music
For a device like the iPhone, I am disappointed by the music. Yes, it is medieval fantastic, but more like “midi”, which I find poor for this game.
Grade: 4 / 10

Gameplay
I am only speaking of the system of the base game. Very simple. A menu for items, one for characteristics, one for options/saves. The fights are turn based, or automatic if you prefer and know what you are doing.
Grade: 9 / 10

Length / Sidequests
Evidently, with so many stories in one game, the length is already more than enough. And the base scenario offers a “game+” to do the story again with the accumulated experience, and also to collect one of each monster, and so on.
Grade: 9.5 / 10

Story / characters
Let us say that the base story and character are nothing to write home about. But it is all right. I hope for better in some other scenarios.
Grade: 7 / 10

In the end…
Let us be honest, for 1.10 CHF, a game “engine” and a good handful of scenarios, it is more than honourable. And they announce additional scenarios with the updates, so…
Final grade: 7.3 / 10
