Sol Divide [Horizontal Hack & Slash Shooter Hybrid]
Potential Pros & Cons PROS: - Very Affordable - Shooter with medieval and mythological themes - Choose from three characters with varied abilities - 11 spells to use on enemies - Combines hack n' slash with shooting - Quite challenging - Two players can play simultaneously - Has an "Original Mode" that possesses RPG elements - Has multiple endings CONS: - Cannot save your high scores - Cannot save your game in Original Mode (that's bad...) - Fair music, but the soundtrack is limited - Your character is big, which can lead to cheap deaths - Translation is horrendous - Audio quality sounds like it's coming off of cart-based media - Close range melee combat is limited and repetitive - Game design is cluttered and clumsy Vyse States:"This was an extremely lazy localization on XS Games' behalf. I didn't expect the graphics to be good since the first console port of Sol Divide was released back in 1998...and the sound quality could have been better, but for the cheap price, I would have been satisfied with a fair translation and nothing more. Instead, the game isn't even on par with it's Japanese counterpart released several years earlier. Unless you are really curious, I wouldn't waste my time. Try at your own risk."Game Screenshots
