One of the PS2's first RPGs, Dark Cloud is a title that challenges players to not only strategise, battle and solve puzzles, but also to create geographical landscapes using the new Georama system. Gamers assume the role of a young boy named Toran on an unforgettable journey of rebirth, revival and hope. Unfortunately an evil demon spirit has been released and has left destruction in its wake and Toran must harness the spirit of those destroyed to rebuild the lands in time for an epic confrontation. True to life graphics should mesmerise gamers as they create villages complete with houses, hills, churches, volcanoes, and streams; they'll even be able to control the weather!

I like the idea of dungeon diving and picking up scattered items to rebuild the village, but I do not like the actual "RPG" mechanics. Breakable weapons is one of my least favorite mechanics ever and it's made worse here by the fact weapons are rather scarce but insanely important.

I like the idea of dungeon diving and picking up scattered items to rebuild the village, but I do not like the actual "RPG" mechanics. Breakable weapons is one of my least favorite mechanics ever and it's made worse here by the fact weapons are rather scarce but insanely important. There's also a stupid thirst mechanic that is not well thought out. Water in dungeons spawns randomly and for some awful reason I can't replenish thirst in town despite the fact there's a river and a pond next to my house????
If I want to play a resource management game with outdated controls and bad cameras, I'll just boot up RE. At least it doesn't pretend to be an RPG.

It was a good game, just got fatigued with it towards the end.
