  New and Innovative SRPG

  By seifervii | Review Date: Apr 18, 2008 | DS

  I've only been playing this game for a little more than three hours. However, I wanted to let anyone who hasn't picked up a copy of the game to seriously consider doing so. Fine Gameplay Indeed: From the outset the ... Read Full Review

  Broken But Not Beaten

  By GeekyDad | Review Date: Oct 18, 2011 | DS

  Let me start off by saying, I really love this game. Unfortunately, I've also been greatly frustrated by Rondo of Swords. It has some absolutely excellent gameplay ideas, but it's the little things that keep it from hold... Read Full Review

  Tries to be different and it succeeds at least in 1 aspect, but fails to completely enthral.

  INTRO I began this game several times. The first 2 times I hated it with a passion. However I figured out a couple of things on my third time after having read a FAQ on GameFaqs and things changed a bit. Sad... I kno... Read Full Review

  A HIGHLY under rated awesome title for the DS that all lovers of Turn-Based Strategy games should get!

  By deactivated-6016e8567e48d | Review Date: Oct 05, 2008 | DS

  Rondo of Swords is a really great game that just didn't get enough attention sadly. This game has you play as prince Serdic, who's kingdom is ransacked and destroyed causing him to flee, but in the midst of it, he is cut... Read Full Review

  Imperfect execution of a well-conceived concept

  By bluej33 | Review Date: Jul 26, 2008 | DS

  A murdered prince. A kingdom at war. An unlikely hero. These three items, among others, must make up the plots of 90% of the fantasy video games out there. But every once in a while, a game comes along that mixes things ... Read Full Review

  A refreshing new combat system for SRPGs that is punishing at first glance but turns into a solid game .

  By Crispy624 | Review Date: Jul 25, 2008 | DS

  Rondo of Swords is one of those RPGs which comes around which is surprisingly good quality game considering you probably never heard much about it before you saw it on some stores shelf. It takes a while to get used to ... Read Full Review

  A few snags hinder this otherwise interesting addition to the genre.

  By Lotus_Story | Review Date: Jun 12, 2008 | DS

  (Note: I do not believe in rating games numerically; please disregard the misleading 6.0 score and read the full review.) I really, really don't like rating these types of games with a numerical score. If my opinion m... Read Full Review

  An SRPG player's Must-Have

  By NihilisticNight | Review Date: May 26, 2008 | DS

  At first glance you will think that is just another Fire Emblem copy. You are mistaken. You're first battle is without tutorial so you may become a bit lost (there is a tutorial mode though). The battling system is not... Read Full Review

  A game that will give you some of the old and some of the new.

  By jeremycunnings | Review Date: May 26, 2008 | DS

  Rondo of Swords is a decent Startegy RPG. It is by no means revolutionary but it gives you a good time. There are several aspects of Rondo that are worth mentioning. The main ones I am going to talk about are the batt... Read Full Review

  A fun and challenging strategy experience.

  By Eikichi-Onizuka | Review Date: May 20, 2008 | DS

  Rondo of Swords is great if you're looking for a challenging strategy game to get into . But if you expect an epic story or great production values then it would be best to look elsewhere. I myself found it all worth ... Read Full Review

  This Game Will Take Your Old School SRPG Games~

  By michaeru | Review Date: May 01, 2008 | DS

  Rondo of Swords~ The game graphics is not that good compared to other strategy games released in the DS or even to Fire Emblem games in the GBA. The character portraits are good though. The game introduced a new type o... Read Full Review
