Game Reviews

Last Rebellion is in many ways a reminiscent trail across what typically represents the RPG experience. Certain aspects will make you dread playing this game, but others will really stand out uniquely amongst the slew of other RPGs available to you. Weighing the pros and cons, Last Rebellion might actually be a game for you.

Last Rebellion is a tale about the rivalry of two Gods on Earth: Meikteillia the God of Death, and Formival the God of Life. Interestingly enough, the people fear the God who brings life and worship the God who maintains death. The kingdom is suffering from a serious case of unbalance because of Formival’s overactive desire to bring beings back to life, flooding their land with resurrected demons and souls. Blades and Sealers were created to use their strength and magic, respectively, to help maintain the balance through the Gods’ biddings. Nine, who is a Blade adopted into the royal family, is the first character you will begin to play as. King Arzelide, Nine’s adoptive father, gets swindled by his other son, Alfred, in what soon turns to an evil ploy involving the miscreant’s attempt to attain Formival’s godly powers. Getting caught in the midst of it all, your death at your brother’s hands leads a present Sealer to bond your two souls together in an attempt to retain your existence. And thus begins your journey as partaking in both roles of Blade and Sealer with Nine and Aisha.

Nine sets out for revenge against his brother and, being that you are both bonded together into one being, Aisha must come along. She has her own mission to accomplish, however, which she vaguely mentions in passing. And so you begin your trek to find Alfred and attempt to discern his plan along the way.

This was the progression of my reaction to Nippon Ichi Software’s RPG, Last Rebellion:
