Classics always tend to find a special place in the hearts of people, for whenever one chooses to replay them, they always end up giving a different experience altogether. The same holds good for books and movies. However, when one speaks of video games, the experience is carried to a whole other level. The stories appear considerably better than they are in actuality. Old School Capcom RPG, Breath of Fire 2, Comes To Switch Online On December 12th For First Time In 25 Years.
Capcom released Breath of Fire 2, a second instalment to the first game Breath of Fire, 25 years ago. However, it is said that in spite of its lack of popularity, the game might be worthwhile in many ways.
It is interesting to note that Breath of Fire 2 was released at a time when the production of video games was not as rampant as it is now, especially in the United States. It is probably because of this reason that Breath of Fire suffers from serious issues with delimitation. It appears as though the game’s translators thought of doing away with quality check at each stage of the process. The names of some of the characters have been spelt in three different ways.
Despite all of its flaws, Breath of Fire 2 does have an actually fascinating storyline, and, honestly speaking, that is the case for most of the video games from the 1990s onwards. But then, it must be agreed that, similar to books, there are a lot many things worth considering, other than just a good story, in video games.
Inspite of the interesting storyline, the age of the game is quite predictable. At times, the game even becomes monotonous, for the battle mechanics are hackneyed and somewhat irritating as well. Also, the game itself is quite sluggish, which eventually mars the interest of the gamers. Thus, the overall gaming experience of the gamers gets hampered to a great extent.
Behind the veil of substandard graphics and second-rate translations, there is ample discoverable potential in the games. Breath of Fire 2 is worth giving a try once more, for it is quite worthwhile as a game. 12th December onwards, Switch Online subscribers will be able to download Breath of Fire 2. Relive your past gaming experience by returning to the game, overlooking all of its drawbacks, and refresh yourself.
