Roaming a fantastical Wild West in search of relics unfolds a JRPG of puzzle dungeons and a generous quest. Exploring the world, fine-tuning your arcana and flushing out the hidden content fills dozens of hours. That density, a Wild Arms hallmark, earns the title a stubborn reputation as an endearing JRPG.
An RPG from Media.Vision, Wild Arms 3 unfolds a fantasy western adventure in cel-shading, where a band of bounty hunters freely explores vast desert plains using ingenious field tools. The dynamic turn based combat system, the melancholy western mood and the whistled soundtrack win over JRPG fans. The somewhat empty deserts and a classic pace weigh on it. An endearing title for fans of Japanese RPGs with a western identity and the Wild Arms series.
