No no no.

RETRO GAME CHALLENGE 2. Not Ragnarok Online DS.

(Impressions of RO DS that I've seen range from "pretty good Diablo clone" to "looks like a homebrew", so yeah.)

Impressions that I have seen from a guild member in WoW have been "fucking addicting".

"The massively multiplayer features of the original will not be present, but will support up to three players simultaneously in a variety of multi-player dungeons."

And that's over the internet.

Oh? Oh! I missed that. I know at least two other people here will play this, right?

I won't touch it with a ten-foot-long stylus if it features the same agonizingly slow grinding that the real game does.

I'll await the reviews before I think about getting it. I'm kind of looking forward to it, but at the same time not really

I don't think the grinding in it will be as slow as in the original, because well, it's not an online game, they can't cash in money by forcing the player to play longer and longer and longer..

One present. Beat (J) ROM already, maybe this will have a few fixes and updates here and there to improve the quality of gameplay. (Like not getting stuck on the corner of a crooked wall and having to waste unneccesary time walking around it.

The EXP / Item rates are much higher than those of the PC version (read: commonly getting cards), don't worry about that. If it was still as slow, I wouldn't be playing it to the finish like I did.

Well, at least if it's possible to hit high levels without sacrificing 300 hours of your life... I'll possibly look into it.

But still. Wrong game to be porting over, guys.

Seconded.

I've spent a few years playing the online game, so I'll wait for reviews before touching it. Either way, the concept does interest me, but I'll have to wait and see.

Seriously, why aren't they bringing Retro Game Challenge 2 over yet?!

I still can't figure out how to pass Wiz-Man...

You know, I used the Blacksmith for this game. From what I remember at the end game, it goes something like this...
1: Big 2H Axe that has a lot of power in it, upgraded 3 of 3 times
2: Increased AGI and DEX for fast swinging
3: Increased STR for more damage boosts
4: Use the skill that increases my attack speed.
5: Shout out loud, increasing my STR.
6: Use your new chainsaw to kill them all. Add a Cart Revolution attack when SP allows. Also Overdrive if you feel like it. (Changes damage to always be at maximum, usefulness depends on DEX being low)
Seriously. Strongest normal enemies in the main game? With this power, cuts through the undead like butter.
