It’s a very smart way to juggle these additions to a game that has a small, but very vocal fan following- and the way Atlus have handled this, I am sure they won’t end up alienating any fans. "Agent Stocke finds himself mired in the hopelessly labyrinthine politics of this war, and during a mission gone wrong, finds his comrades fall, and himself captured." Otherwise, especially if you are a newcomer, you can always just choose to play the Normal Mode, and play though Radiant Historia as it was on the DS (albeit with the new voice acting and new art), and then, once finished, play through a New Game Plus to see the new content for yourself.
What’s even better about all this is how smartly the new additions are integrated- for instance, to access the new content, you can simply choose to play the “Perfect Mode” from the beginning, which puts the third timeline front and center right away. And that’s a crying shame, because Radiant Historia was always a wonderful game- and in its Perfect Chronology guise, it’s a veritable classic.įirst, let’s get the new additions out of the way for anyone who has already played the DS original, and wants to know what new stuff this 3DS remake brings to the table, and whether or not it is worth their time: the 3DS game adds a new, third timeline, voice acting, a new artstyle, a new animated opening from A-1, some new music including a great new theme song, and new illustrations for events. Now, it’s been given a second chance, although, like again, it finds itself in a uniquely unenviable position- it’s releasing on the Nintendo 3DS (albeit worldwide this time), but it’s coming out after the Switch has already released, and attention for 3DS games, new or old, seems to be minimal. It came at the tail end of the DS’s life, when attention was shifting to the then newly released 3DS, and saw a limited release in North America, and none in Europe at all. Radiant Historia was a great game, but sadly, it found itself largely ignored. One of the best games in the Nintendo DS’s library was Atlus’ Radiant Historia, a wonderful JRPG in the vein of 16- and 32-bit classics, with beautiful sprite art, a moving soundtrack, and an arresting premise and gameplay mechanics.
