Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Reign of legends review
Ahh, the Ruby Destiny series. One could call it a staple of excellent hacking, while some other people would call it a steaming pile of frustrating backtracking and bugs... I like it.
GRAPHICS: What do you expect? It's Pokémon, it's colorful, and actually very pretty to look at sometimes. '10'
SOUND: As enjoyable as expected. I'm not going into detail of the sound and music, for if you have played any Pokémon game, you should know the music is good. '10'
ADDICTIVENESS: Oh yes, this is an addictive hack. It's a world you want to explore, secrets you want to find, and a wonderful story that you want to hear. BUT, I have to say this. The biggest hit AGAINST the addictiveness is actually the story. '8'
STORY: The story is great, but simple. You, (insert character name) has to *SPOILER WARNING* save the world from Blitz and his Shadow Lugia. It's very interesting how there's an alternate dimension, or possibly an alternate timeline. (Something that is used in Life Of Guardians) First time you meet Blitz, he seems nice. Next time, generic villain nr.247643532.
*SPOILER ENDS HERE* The problem I have with the story is that it doesn't seem all that consistent. At places, it even seems like it takes a back-seat. It actually isn't as interesting either compared to Life Of Guardians and Rescue Rangers. '8'
DEAR GOD, STOP KICKING MY BUTTOCKS: Just kidding. It's not that hard at all. It's actually not much more difficult than the official games, so I can't rate this one higher than '6'
This is an extremely enjoyable hack. Sure, there are some bugs, but they are extremely easy to fix without restarting the game. Just wish the story was a bit better~

Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Life of guardians review
(I just had to edit this review)
An absolutely astounding hack with some minor gripes.
Graphics: This game looks very good, and even most of the fakemon looks fabulouuuuus~ '10'
Sound: Great as usual as expected from Pokemon. Do I hear some custom sounds? '10'
Addictiveness: Holy bunny-juice, is this an addictive hack! This hack will draw you in like a vacuum draws in those innocent dust-rabbits... *Sniff* There IS one problem though... The back-tracking you have to do in this game is INSANE! At LEAST half of the game is back-tracking in one form or another, but it all becomes worth it because; '9'
Story: The story is simply amazing. Whoever wrote the Ruby Destiny saga should be hired by Nintendo/GameFreak. I mean it, is it absolutely awe-inspiring. It DOES become pretty confusing in the end, and unless you want to play the whole game again, DO SAVE STATE after the plane lands. Even after the main story is over, there is still a LOT of story to go through, so be sure to explore everywhere, even if you already have been there before. '9'
Depth: The world is huge. The world is astounding. The things to do are surprisingly vast. What more is there to say? It's simply amazing. '10'
Difficulty: This one was the hardest to pin down. Before the final battle against Team Earth, I would rate this 5, maybe 6. But now, it is a strong 7, maybe 8. The last three battles against Team Earth is extremely difficult since the enemy levels sky-rockets. That is not all though. Even if you power-level before the final confrontation, if you go and get the last badges you need, I will pray for you when you fight against the Pokemon League... Yeah, let's just say, it's hard. '8'
Final Verdict: An extremely fun hack, great story, too much backtracking. Final Score: 9.3
