A wonderful game, part action RPG, part visual novel, that was almost ruined by one of the worst final boss fights I've ever had the misfortune to experience. Almost, but not quite.

Eternal Radiance is the story of Celeste, squire of The Ashen Order, and her companions Ruby the mage and Valana the mercenary archer. The story is told in visual novel style sequences, and the actual gameplay consists of action combat sequences in large open 'dungeons'.

The artwork is mostly very nice (some of the side characters and a few miscellaneous scenes are clearly not of the same quality), the story is simple but fun, the characters are likeable and the dialogue is very well written and often genuinely funny. It's not the longest game, although you could say it doesn't overstay its' welcome.

Other than the aforementioned final boss, which I won't go into too much detail on here to avoid spoilers, I didn't have any major issues with the game. It looks nice, plays nicely and runs well. I would definitely recommend it, especially for the price, and double especially if you get it on sale.
