Definitely simple but nice remake of the classic. However, I had to turn off the audio voices as they sound a bit alienating and made the whole retro experience less enjoyable. Also, I miss the original names of the enemies and characters in German (not sure about other languages) and some minor features such as the setting of dialogue windows are missing, but overall it is a great game for modern systems and the nostalgic feeling is definitely there, especially if you turn on the original music sounds. Hope to see a Secret of Evermore adaption some time soon!

get your hands on the original, what ever dev team got there hands on this took out some important AI settings for the characters ( it had like a 5x5 grid you could set your characters to. The left was avoid/defense, to right was aggressive/attack, they now have some very generic and broken settings instead (attack what controlled character attacks, attack what isn't being targeted by allies, or you can set any of them to assist on of the others). I find them #1 doing nothing and dying, #2 killing everything before i can get a few hits in preventing me from leveling weapons, #3 attacking what i don't want them to or not attacking what i want them to. They Changed Drop rates and what drops, IE#1 farming equipment i use to farm on snes has me aggravated because they either added a common drop to the enemies pool that drops 75% of the time and/or they added more traps to said chest. IE#2 prepare to get candy, chocolate, or fairy walnuts over and over and something called "shadow zero" alongside the normal death trap that use to happen mainly if your health was low when opening a chest instead of the normal equipment you use to get like 95% of the time. I'm lv50 all 14 Mana Elementals are at lv7 (7 for each character)at mana palace under 25 hours of gameplay most of that gameplay is skilling up weapons and mana, about say fk the achievements and and just finish the game and go play my snes copy which looks a lot better than the childish art they changed it to. They even were to lazy to add mouth movements of any kind (except for one spot) with the voiced dialog but added changing facial expressions wtf? how hard is it to make a mouth open 1 close 0 open 1 close 0 (hex lol), They made accuracy an issue too.. a lot more misses in combat (way more over 50% of hits seem to be misses now) on the plus side they added a option to use the classic soundtrack..

It was worth a one time playthrough since we are big fans but next time we will play the classic SNES version again which is simply a greater experience in every aspect, even the 16 bit graphics.

I think they did a great job with the remaster. The extra voice parts and interactions really add some depth to the game. I was 12 when I first played the original (when it came out) and I don't care what everyone else says, this is great. :)

I adored this game when I was young, and I still love it. I know there's a lot of hate for it out there, so keep in mind that this is an old game with some mechanics that just won't seem obvious if you didn't grow up with games like this. It's not gonna be for everyone, and the archaic mechanics might be difficult for some people to get past, but there's a good game here if you can get post those obstacles.
