Uploader's note: DVD japanese release of the Korean RPG Arcturus: The Curse and the Loss of Divinity + English patch.
Co-developed by Sonnori and Gravity, and directed by legendary Korean developers Kim Seyong and Kim Hakkyu, which later would end up spearheading Korean MMORPG development with Ragnarok Online and, after leaving Gravity, Tree of Life, Arcturus was obviously a labor of love for its team, probably way too ambitious for the resources they had. The game features a huge scope, an intricate story that mixes politics, adventure, war, religion and romance and a lot of dramatic tonal shifts that manage to gradually change a rather light-hearted shounen romp to a grim, brutal, sometimes even endearingly edgy, dark fantasy epic without losing too much of its identity. This isn’t even mentioning a funny and fast-paced battle turn based system reminiscent of Game Arts’ Grandia, with battles happening directly where they were triggered, a relevant positional element and a novel feature in BP, barrier points that one has to deplete before damaging the enemies' HPs. There's also a huge continent to explore, filled with many interesting cities and dungeons linked by a web of roads and connective areas (think Legend of Heroes, Growlanser I-IV-V-VI, Ys or Tales of Graces f, just to name a few JRPGs that handles explorations in a similar way) and nostalgic graphics with well animated, expressive sprites mixed with 3D isometric locales with rotable camera, a bit like Breath of Fire III, Xenogears or the first five Trails games.
