Rogue Galaxy (PS2) – Review

Rogue Galaxy, developed by Level-5 (famous for Dark Cloud and Dragon Quest 8) and distributed by SCEA, has most of the usual trappings of a modern jRPG with both new features that try to expand beyond typical RPG elements as well as those that feel like some of Level-5’s past games. While the story is very engaging, there’s some significant problems with the pacing of the game with incredibly long, repeating dungeons, a rather annoying endgame, and some questionable decisions regarding combat make this an unfortunate disappointment, with a lot of work just to enjoy the details that do work well.
