Amazonian Saga
by Haneda Yoshiyuki
BURRD’s Review

   

My first response to Amazonian Saga is...well, wow. This scenario is set in an interesting island where most of the inhabitants are women...woohoo! Anyway, you start out sitting in your room next to a custom graphic right away! Talk about jumping in headfirst. So you talk to Lucy...oh that reminds me. The best part about this scenario is the custom dialogue pictures! basically everyone has one...in fact everyone does. not a single person is without a CUSTOM dialogue pictures. Anyway, to continue: you wander around, find out about death header. you fight him, you wander around. Do a blacksmith mission, wander around, get summoned to go back in time...now this is where it gets interesting.

 

The interesting part:

You already have the Amazonian Blade, a sword that gets stronger every time you kill a Forest Idol with it. you can either kill Death Header as a human or go fight some people. I killed death header...gonna run through it again. you get sent back to your own time where the chieftains have fought, the amazons have been beaten. you have to use the crystal ball of allies...(a cool item) to get people, then fight the final battle. I won’t ruin it for you...it’s way cool.

 

Bad stuff:

Basically my only problem with Amazonian Saga is that the beginning is really unclear. Apparently you were on a ship that was sunk...it all gets fuzzy from there.

 

Custom graphics:

There are a lot of them. You’d better have the file or most of the aura of the scenario will be lost.

   

Ending:

My favorite part of Amazonian Saga was actually the ending. You walk through a secret area of the scenario, meet its author (a bladesman, #0 on the monster roster — he cleverly replaced townsperson one with himself so you’d start off with him), go to the tower of the chieftain...I wont spoil the ending. A thoroughly entertaining and magical scenario. “Did you visit the Space Ship?”

 

I give this scenario a 9.5. What a boon to the world of Blades!
