In Stranger of Sword City Revisited, you take on the role of the one person you (assumedly) know best-yourself-as you wake up post-plane crash in the mysterious floating world of Escario. In Saviors of Sapphire Wings, the player takes on the role of the Xeth, the leader of the legendary Knights of the Round, who, after being defeated by the evil Overlord Ol=Ohma (I promise that’s spelled correctly), finds himself resurrected 100 years later where he must seek out new Knights of the Round, forge strong bonds with them, and put an end to the darkness which has been threatening the world for the past century. I probably shouldn’t be burying the lede like this, but, all-in-all, it’s a pretty great time.īoth titles within this duology are relatively simple and to the point. It’s also unique in how complimentary these games are toward one another-in terms of both gameplay and story-and how Experience managed to use them to create something entirely unique. Not only are these both upgraded versions of their originals, but, technically speaking, Saviors of Sapphire Wings is an entirely new game for us in the West, as the original game, Students of the Round, was never released over here. Saviors of Sapphire Wings / Stranger of Sword City is a two-for-one bundle of previously released Experience DRPGs that, as a whole, is unique and exciting for many reasons. And, wouldn’t you know it, that holds true more than ever when it comes to the one-two-punch that is Saviors of Sapphire Wings / Stranger of Sword City Revisited. Every game of theirs that I’ve played has been a legitimately fun time, and I always end up feeling as though I’ve polished up my DRPG skills at least a little bit. But that’s why I love my experiences with Experience (if you’ll pardon the pun) so much. Most of their games take a “firm, but fair” approach to gameplay, and some of them, like Stranger of Sword City Revisited, border on being cutthroat. ![]() You know, it’s kind of funny that the developer behind the games that I’m reviewing today is called “Experience” because, more often than not, you’ve got to have some when it comes to playing through their DRPGs. Saviors of Sapphire Wings / Stranger of Sword City Revisited Is A Real DRPG-light!
