I finished Luminous over the weekend and it was pretty decent overall. My major gripe is that it was just way too easy. There were probably two battles that were almost-sort-of-maybe-moderately difficult, but those were far and few between.

The second complaint is the unbalance of the characters. Alph and Lucia are the two main characters, but their stats are utterly disgraceful of their classes. Alph was continually overshadowed by better tanks like Leon, Heath, and Kai while Lucia is hands down the weakest witch in the game statwise. I have nothing to say about Pollon. Ugh.

On a minor note, a few of the characters seem confused in the skillset department. Alph wants to think he’s a ranged fighter with his gun attacks. Theo has several melee range skills and Flash Drives despite his class being an archer.

Overall it was fun. Cliche and systematic story/plot devices. Staple characters. Linear story. It’s not a bad game by and means though. Just above average as we wind down to the rating…

Rating: 6.5/10. I recommend it for the die hard SRPG starved DS owners out there. Don’t expect it to be the greatest game in the world and you should be okay.
