Butchy21 reviews Jeanne d'Arc (PSP)

This is one of the best strategy RPGs for the PSP. Made by a Level 5, a company that has quickly made a great name for themselves. This game tells a fantastic dark story of Jeanne d-Arc and her her struggle to fight an oppressive enemy force, only possible by teaming up with other strong, driven companions. This game utilizes grid-based battles which are pretty straight-forward most of the time. I had to only replay a few levels, especially those that require you to get to a specific area of the map in a set number of turns. As you level up your characters, you always feel a sense of reward. Whether this be stat-boosts or with the creation of new and impressive battle commands that can really whallop the enemy. The overall pacing, art design, and beautiful vibrant colors in this game are all great. The fact that I never wanted a 35-40 hr game to end really speaks to its high quality. Its a shame that Level 5 is not working on a sequel, but instead other PSP titles. Any SRPG fan really needs to pick this game up, you will not be dissapointed!
