Through notebooks, journal entries and audio recordings you begin to piece together the sadistic experiments that went on there. The iOS port just isn't the remake that the game deserves.ĭownload Tales of Phantasia from the App Store It's a shame, because Tales of Phantasia is still a wonderful RPG, with a lighthearted story. Unfortunately, many of the original game's save points have been deactivated in the iOS port, forcing players to either constantly pay for revival orbs or lose a significant amount of progress with every death. If you fall in battle and get a game over, the game resets to your last manual save. The catch is that despite frequent and automatic quick-saves, those only save your progress for when you close the app. Tales of Phantasia has also been adapted to the free-to-play model, which mostly amounts to a new real-money item that revives your whole party with significant stat boosts if they fall in battle. The combat works most of the time, but the regions are poorly defined so that you often accidentally perform the wrong attack, especially when playing on the iPhone's smaller screen. Movement in towns is performed either by tapping a location to move or with a virtual joystick, the latter of which is extremely sensitive and will send your character running at a difficult-to-control speed at just the slightest nudge.Ĭombat also feels clumsy, with taps and swipes in different regions of the screen determining which attack you pull off.
