It's not too often that you get a JRPG set in the ‘real' world, with place names that you recognize and a time period that is easily identifiable. Nights of Azure takes place in the 19 th Century, and though Ruswal Island, where it takes place, is fictional, you have many references to missions...

Positives + Fast-paced; enjoyable gameplay + Good variety of tasks and environments

Negatives; Unnecessary oversexualization of characters and their motivations; Translation issues; Bland visuals

An exercise in apathy, neither solid nor liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit "meh," really.

I didn't expect to enjoy Nights of Azure as much as I do, especially given its frustrating habit of cheapening its female protagonists by presenting them as both serious characters and jiggly eye candy.

If you had bet me that Gust, developers of pretty much Atelier games, and only Atelier games, was going to try and make something outside of their wheelhouse, which has been the JRPG for many years now, I'd… have lost a fair amount of money to you.

Looks like Gust was trying something new with more than their turn based rpgs of the Atelier franchise. The game is similar to a lot of other games in its genre, but seems to still have some personality of its own. Definatly worth a play through for any action or JRPG fan.

Dony see why many people bad mouth this game I'm enjoying it yeah it's a hack n slash but with rpg elements like collecting near gear upgrading skills loads of quests to do and a decent story unique game worth the price for sure

So sometimes saving the world and defeating the big bad guy isn't enough: in Nights of Azure, the demon lord has been defeated, but the blood from his body covered the land, mutating its inhabitants into demonic creatures that come out when the sun has set, killing everything in their path.

Impressive art; some designs are quite evocative

Bland story; cliched characters; repetitive combat; Servans have no real strategy to them; questionable character design

Several hundred years ago the demon lord was sealed away by a saint. That seal is losing its power and there's an outbreak of fiends roaming the streets. The fiends are former humans who came into contact with blue demon blood.

Excellent music and an engaging story about love and sacrifice

Repetitive and unchallenging gameplay; glitched quests

Very good game well worth the money

Good game, I enjoyed the story and the gameplay :)
