Loading ...Radiant Historia Review
For a system loaded with top notch RPG's, it isn't easy to stand out to the masses. Tons of fresh RPG's get pushed to the wayside and are never heard from again. However, Atlus, the creators of the Shin Megami Tensei games, decided to take a shot and created Radiant Historia. This game, inspired by the 16 bit RPGs of days past, is their secret weapon; one that may have put Atlus at the top.
The game puts you in the shoes of Stocke, a young man who works with the nation of Alistel as their main intelligence agent. Due to his high level of skill, he is the agent often dispatched on the most dangerous missions. Initially, the player is tasked with various missions to complete, and must go out into the world and solve them. Soon after this first venture, he is faced with an impossible task and is heavily injured. He then discovers himself in Historia, a magical place where two young children grant him the ability to travel through time and space. At this point in the game, Stocke is then asked whether he wishes to remain an intelligence agent, or join his old friends' platoon.
