Each area is randomly generated and covered with the fog of war, masking each tile from view. Certain icons go unexplained and a lot of guesswork is needed when trying to decipher an enemies weakness for example. Not that I need my hand held to get started, but Sin Slayers omits a lot of information. Part of my frustration during my first few runs came from little to no tutorial.
The game mechanics are quite unique for a turn-based RPG. I’ll be honest, my first impression of the game was as dreadful as the world the heroes are lost in. Sin Slayers doesn’t boast the most enticing storyline making the gameplay the backbone of the experience. The main drive in picking who would join the team of three in any given skirmish came down to what skills they could carry into battle and what their usefulness was.
It was hard to feel connected to the empty heroes and care whether they found their way home or were lost forever. Despite having a handful of characters to take into battle, there’s little history or interaction to endear you to any of them. The scant delivery of the narrative leaves a lot to the imagination. Salvation will only come at the downfall of the powerful bosses and their fiendish minions.
The plot to Sin Slayers is straightforward. A small group of survivors battle their way into the sanctuary to learn the only escape from this evil infested world is to defeat the seven sinlords in the surrounding areas. The only safe haven is a lone church under the protection of a blind sage. You’ve awoken to find yourself in a horrid, unfamiliar world with all manner of beasts skulking about. Read on to find out why Sin Slayers: Enhanced Edition pushes the envelope while at times taking a step back. There were times when I was ready to turn the game off for good and others when I couldn’t stop playing. Most recently I got my hands on Sin Slayers: Enhanced Edition. I’m always on the lookout for new and unique role-playing games.
