3.5/5 ★ – Lancey's review of Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible III.
Last Bible finally grew up and hit the Super Famicom in 1995. The intro begins with a man named Alek, stranded in a snowy wasteland. As he wanders forward blindly, convinced of his death, he stumbles upon the entrance to the demon world. As he collapses, he remembers his friend Glenn, and the news of a child. You play that child, a blue haired fellow named Ciel. He begins his quest leaving his hometown, adventuring towards a place called Megaro Polis, but eventually gets caught up in something greater, per usual RPG standards.
The graphics are colorful, with Final Fantasy VI-style sprites. The battle system is pretty much the same as the Game Boy games, although some of the monster designs are freaking weird (check out the happy blue bird, which I swear I've seen in some Disney movie, or that bizarre green leopard with the head of an old man.) Extremely useful this time around is a gauge that lets you see how your answers are affecting a monster, so it's easier to see whether you're pissing them off or not. Overall, it's definitely the best of the Last Bible games.
