Eternal Poison is an unoriginal strategy RPG with familiar grid-based battles, all set in the midst of a gothic world filled with the demon-like Majin, magic books and lost princesses. I feel bad for anyone that makes the mistake of picking up a copy based on the somewhat charming cover art.īut I'm getting ahead of myself. This is an entirely vapid number, utterly devoid of any personality or substance. But there's almost nothing about Eternal Poison that I like. I consider myself to be one such gamer I've loved a fair number of strategy games in the past. Yet even with so many action-filled options, there are still those that garner great enjoyment out of deliberately moving units across a grid, leveling up as you go and building an army, both big and small, to bring onto the battlefield. Japanese strategy RPGs aren't for everyone, especially for gamers more keen on unloading clips into a nasty assortment of aliens, or perhaps those interested in a more kinetic experience like leaping across building tops.
