Dual Orb 2 is the sequel to Dual Orb by a small japanese company called I'MAX. The game was released for SNES in 1994. This game is absolutely magical.

You play as Aleth a child found by the priest of garade, who is meant to be the next high priest when the kings son Lagnus is born. Aleth and Lagnus grow up together and become inseperable. Eventually it wil be up to Aleth to stop the revival of a tyrant.

Graphics-The overall look of sprites is very good, the maps seem to fit well together and often you will be reminded of FF3/6.
Overall: 8.0

Battle System- Very creative, the battle graphics are nearly playstation quality and look wonderful. Past the halfway mark in the game the battles are very very challenging which is something I appreciate in an RPG.
Overall: 8.0

Sound: The background and battle music are very catchy, I found myself downloading the SPC files. Once again the music is similar in ways to FF3/6.
Overall: 7.0

Story: The story is mediocre in many ways but all the more enjoyable. I have yet to find a boring part of the game.
Overall:7.5

Total : 30.5 Dual Orb 2 is a wonderful game for fans of final fantasy and breath of fire, even if your neither play it anyway.
