Dying Eyes is a great game, right up there with the Illusiat series. However, due to some of its shortcomings, it just doesn't quite hit the mark.
First of all, the graphics are amazing. It looks like it could easily be a way better graphical version of the early Final Fantasy games in black and white.
However, where Final Fantasy had this perfected, Dying Eyes just seems to take way too much time leveling. And, in the level hierarchy, you always seem to jump: One level, the dungeon monsters can kill you in one hit, the next they do practically nothing, and you can do one hit KOs on them. But it takes so long to get to that next level.
Great game, worth your time, but just be warned: you are going to take a lot of time leveling that you could be doing something else.
The story is great, the animations/graphics are great, the leveling needs a little work, but other than that, this is an amazing game!
