- Shadow Hearts is a very strange series, always has been. From the New World doesn't change that but as the series' final installment it's certainly not the send off many fans were hoping for. Let's talk about what happened here. It's not a Final Fantasy, it's not a Kingdom Hearts, it's... something else. (But still a JRPG)

I actually had to cut a bit of content which is why it's really just about an hour long now. The current file only barely fit on my computer so I couldn't render anything bigger. Sorry about that!
It's really sad you had to cut that whole segment on werewolves we were promised. Great video though. It's remarkable how many franchises collapse for reasons that boil down to "capitalism happened"
@@ArkTolei I'll just have to fit the werewolves in elsewhere. 😁
I could absolutely go for a 2 parter on your content but you did what you had to do. I'm just starting it and I'm really excited.
@@jimmyrustles9807 Two parters unfortunately always do far worse. If you look at my previous 2 parters you'll see what I mean. :(
@@ProperBird yeah, I get it. People always think they'll watch them later, or when both videos come out. Then they forget.
What you have here is perfect though. You clearly have love for this series. This...beautiful, hilarious, cringeworthy, fantastic, terrible series.
It remains one of my favourites, even after From The New World (it absolutely is not a Shadow Hearts game, I agree).
Your series has reminded me of all the highs and lows of the games and I feel like you need more credit for the time and effort you put into these videos.
Low key disappointed that there are no more Shadow Hearts games, based purely on how fun these videos are.
The best compliment. :p
However we will be getting Penny Blood X3
@@decusq The weird exception where getting a reply notification from a year old comment is a good thing.
What a dope kickstarter that is. Penny Blood hype!
Honestly pretty hot take about the soundtrack. FTNW has a much more consistent and interesting soundscape than Covenant, and Hirota did a fantastic job on his own.
You may have heard but many of the original creators involved with Wild Arms and Shadow Hearts are kickstarting two new games, Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood. Both are supposed to be spiritual successors to the two original series. Hopefully Penny Blood will have the same creepy monsters...maybe some corrupted werewolves or something, even.
I love love loved the combat system for this game such an underrated ps2 game. This is up there with the Legend of Legaia for my favorite combat systems in jrpgs.
Shadow hearts 3 felt more like a spin-off stand alone loose connected to the original first 2 than a sequel.
And of course someone would complain about "Over se x ualized characters" and "Stereotypes". Forget about one thing: Its a game made on early 2000s by a japanese company. The timeframe era that *nobody gave a damn about a fictional video game.* Good old days.
Koudelka A, Shadow Hearts A+, Shadow Hearts: Covenant A-, Shadow Hearts:From The New World C. The game wasn’t bad it was just no-where near to the standard the others had set.
Koudelka D for using the shitty board game style of rpg. Splits fanbase in half cause not everyone likes that type of combat.
@@WM-mu8ep Yes but having scene chewing Roger Bacon, raises that back up.
@@mesektet5776 koudelka is just more of a preference. The only time I ever liked a board game style rpg was the south park games and final fantasy tactics. I don't like like that kind of combat.
I don’t know a single thing about this series, this is my first video of yours I’ve seen but I love not only the story discussions, but I love your humor as well. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos :)
Especially Shenia's Mental conflict would tie in with the old shadow hearts perfectly, we have those flying masks which are very referencing of the native american ara, If they would tie this together meaningfull Shaodw Hearts: New World could be this wierd game no one likes but still manages to tie the plots very good together without losing the dark tone of the serious while also beeing as goofy at it is.
I'm so happy you covered this series. Its so near to my heart and your videos were really great in going over all of them! I really enjoyed it and I'm always gonna be praying for a new or remastered Shadow Hearts. Maybe a new one can have a werewolf companion instead of a vampire :)
@9:30 "She does malice to people..." --This line cracked me up. xD
jinzee i'm a pretty big lurker but I absolutely love your content+streams
Thank you for lurking. ❤️
Just found out about your content a week ago, and New World was my introduction to the Shadow Hearts! Grand coincidence~
I hope you enjoy it!
At what age you play something truly changes your perception of things. I must've been at just the right age to enjoy both Shadow Hearts 2 and 3 but that enjoyment didn't include the dark themes at all. A lot of my fond memories of SH2 and 3 are Karin, Lucia, Veronica and every Shania fusion scene and form (yes I was a teenager). But aside from the fanservice, the slapstick wacky characters/sidequests really made this series stick out to me and I remembered it forever. There just wasn't anything like it.
Looking back on it now through your videos, there certainly were flaws (gosh especially the story in 3, I musta been up to my eyeballs in Shania's TnA that I never noticed how shallow it was) but ultimately its the gameplay I fell in love with and I still love all the fusions and the enhanced combo system in SH3.
I actually played SH1 much later in life and I guess I was able to look past its dated graphics and appreciate the insane enemies and dark themes as an adult. I'm actually planning on replaying SH 2 and 3 but, man, I'd need to be a werewolf to have the time to finish two JRPGs back to back...
Clearly someone used the Emigre’ Manuscript on the Shadow Hearts series. It has the basic aesthetic shell of what once was, but no soul within it, just trapped off to the side like Elaine.
Werewolf.
I really enjoyed this, the skits were amazing as always (I'm expecting John might make terrible video game suggestion about werewolves in the future) and the green screen moments were a pleasant and welcome surprise.
You know what, I think he just might. :p
Although i don't think Shadow Hearts FTNW is a bad game, After watching this video i never realised how disjointed and all over the place the story is and how the characters, Quirky as they are, Most of the party was one note and never really went anywhere.
I also never knew of a development hell relating to Shadow Hearts until this video, From what i can tell Aruze wanted to make the games more profitable by removing all the horror and doubling down on the goofy antics to bring in more customers, I'm not surprised it backfired big time.
It did have the best battle system of the games. It's a shame that the Shadow Hearts series had to end this way as i would've loved to have see the series in a World War 2 setting.
So Rock Howard, T.Hawk and Pocahontas walks into a bar...
I wish they did a remake or a redesign of All of these games. Koudelka was important in the very first shadow heart game. I think her son is one of the characters. This was a very unique game, but what I loved is their mix of historical figures with weird fantasy elements and quirky characters.
Where were you ?
hopefully everything is alright
I was making this very long video.
Quite the journey, I played these as they came out years ago and never quite caught on how weird that a series that started with the damned and soulless husk of a woman brought to life by hundreds of sacrifices screaming the flesh off a priest in the bad ending eventually became about a stripper Native American. Something something werewolves.
A wolf in sheep's clothing would make hilarious cosplay! Would a sheep wear wolf's clothing? What if the wolf's clothing was a sheepskin with attached head-hood? Those old WB toonz featuring a coyote and sheepdog trying to eat/guard a fluffy flock might have inspired me here. Anyway, a wear-wolf (open to interpretation) or even a whole flock of wear-wolves (vaguer still, I know) couldn't dress up this "kuso". The combat looks too woolly for me. Were I a werewolf, I would exclaim (bcuz lycanthropes can talk better than ol' Scoob), "You can't pull the wool over my eyes, I know a kusoge when I smell one!" And yet, the creativity on display in the bowl, and on the surrounding walls and floor, really is impressive. Messy, yes, but impressive. Thanks for uploading, PB!!
I’m just here because of Witcher Facts and am now learning that you review all my favorite childhood games!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Didn't the team consider this more of a spinoff than an actual direct sequel? Anyway pretty good review. I enjoyed the game for what is but prefer the previous two entries. The first one for its Gothic and darker setting while the second for its much approved battle system. Also if you ever get the chance ma'am you should definitely check out Vagrant Story. I think that game will be right up your alley.
Have you already heard about Penny Blood from the creator of Shadow hearts?!?
Ah. The weirdest and most cartoony game of the series. Definitely the least horror themed.
I personally love this game because we rarely seen north/south American mythology in games. Also dead fingers talk is amazing.
I’d rather be mauled by werewolves than play FtNW again. Kudos for dedicating a video to it, and thank you for bringing attention to Shadow Hearts as always. 😁
At least have werewolves. 🐺
I would played it again.
This is another game I eventually enjoyed after dialing my brain down a notch of two. This is a classic case of a series getting worse as it went :)
Yeah it's just the story was really whitewash and annoying they should've just kept the dark gothic tones with humor like covenant.
Also why the strike gauge nothing was wrong with the judgement ring system
@@jonathynmurray4890 If you take Koudelka as the first in the series, which I do, then to me it feels like the emotional maturity of the writers dropped a full decade or so between each game. They were all still fun to play though.
@@cord113 oh without a doubt even though covenant is my favorite (behind koudelka of course) and it was way to slapstick it was still dark but with Joachim and the others it was just whacky
@@jonathynmurray4890 I've mentioned it elsewhere here, but have you heard of "Resonance of Fate"? I've started playing it again recently and it's a good solid rpg. It has an interesting story, good mechanics and really good, but slow, world building. But mixed in with that are a few scenes of the "aren't big breasts amazing!" variety that give the impression one of the writer's 10 year old kids replaced a few pages of the script and it went unnoticed. I think similar happened with the Shadow Hearts series :)
@@cord113 I've heard of it and seen a bit of gameplay but I haven't gotten the chance to play it yet
I came across an article a few years ago that said the Shadowhearts series are alternate dimension sequels to Koudelka. That would explain the inconsistencies between Koudelka and Shadowhearts.
after SH 1 and 2, playing this, i couldn't even finish it. The whole time playing, I was like "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Oh and on a random note, my name's Ricardo, and Ricardo happened to be my favorite character from this game lol. Oh and uh, Lady and Killer were supposed to be like, evil versions of Alice and Yuri, but instead they just came off as empty (and evil, though not werewolf) versions of them.
As cool as werewolves are, I will always love Ricardo, I have always been a fan of the Mariachi Trilogy, and he was very much in that vein. Also, his guitar riffs were so good!!!
I played this game all the way to the end, all I had left was the final boss and um... I totally lost interest... I don't know why, I guess I was expecting another SH: Covenant but instead we got... this. I mean Covenant has not aged well for various reasons, but at least back then it was engaging, and the original SH, well... it's already been covered, amazing game. So yeah, I gotta say I agree with the title of this video.
Very thorough review, can't imagine the amount of work that went into this, kudos.
its so weird and out of place... that i never forgot this. and i played all 3 of them... 4 if you also include Koudelka
Not sure why the view counts are so low on this series. I'm brand new to the channel, coming from the Koudelka video, and I'm impressed with your work.
Johnny should branch out..rescue werewolves instead of cats.
Shadow Hearts: From the New Woo 🐺
Lady and Killer... "Lady Killer," get it... GET IT?!?!
I always wonder if shadow hearts had been allowed to keep its identity, would it have gotten some of the shine that shin megami and persona got eventually.
Maybe split into separate series like megami tensei. Koudelka, SH, New World ect.
Also her facial expressions/body movement are so fast I was wondering if i was in a faster playback.
I'm trying to place the final fantasy music in the background pretty sure It's FF8, maybe Balamb Garden... I miss this era of final fantasy.
Edit: Found it, it's the world map theme. That's why I thought Balamb, you first hear it when walking to Balamb Town.
I don't know why, but that head turn with the, "hmmmm" at 8:56 cracked me the fuck up. 🤣
Are you telling me there are 3 shadow hearts games plus koudelka? I've not played this one nor did I even know it existed 😢
I'll be frank here the biggest gripe i have with Shadow Hearts and Koudelka is they never told us why seemingly all the spirit that gonna be resurrected always rejected the offer, okay i get it if like Elaine got sick and bedridden for a few years so when her times come she already make peace with her dead so then she refuse the offer of resurrection but it wasn't the case in all of the games, Elaine killed by a thief, Alice was force to sacrifice herself for Yuri, and the twins got killed in an accident they all died suddenly leaving a loved one and with dreams plus all other things they want to do in their life
seriously after Koudelka this plotline just become a deus ex machina for some character to meet again or got resurrected but when if it contradict what they want the story to go they just "oh no a refused the chance for resurrection even though b and a loved each other and if a got resurrected most likely they'll get married and grow old lovingly together but nah a refused the offer because i don't know the heaven is that great maybe"
its a shame it lost its themes of horror, but still it has its merits, overall if yuri and alice to showed up as even just a cameo, and i would have been happy, but twas not meant to be~
I recently tried to beat this game after not playing it since 2006 when I first bought it. I got so fed up with it because I could not find all of Shania‘s fetishes in order to get the final fusion. In the end, I just watched the final cut scene/ending on RUclips.
Like you mentioned , I was basically taking snapshots with Johnny in order to get the prizes, In the end, I just wanted to know how the story ended, which felt lacklustre.
I want to say Frank's accent is Nigel Thornberry attempting to sound swedish.
Love these Videos when they are written from your viewpoint. Amazing work, will watch gladly again.
Also, all those Werewolves are pretty awesome.
Awoo! 🐺
Your summation of the story makes sense since I didn't feel this game gelled for me like the other two but I couldn't figure out why. I will respectfully disagree on the music not being good because "Dead Fingers Talk", the North american battle theme, is pretty great.
I always wanted to know what the deal was with the maligned final entry in this series but not enough to actually play it, given its infamy. This was very informative! I am now aware (wolf) of what I was hoping to learn.
Shadow Hearts and Parasite Eve are two games that need more love for being horror and turn based done right.
I watched this video a little late but I found the monster design very interesting, as it was on the previous games: very strange monsters, the team was no afraid from straying from the classics like werewolves, zombies, etc.
I remember when I first heard the title of this game that my mind immediately came up with the story would have Hailey and Koudelka searching for Edward be a part of it. And instead of the Valentine Vampire family... America could have had the Woodrift Werewolf family. Eh?
Just to add to the ever growing list of games I'd like to see you cover do you know one called "Resonance of Fate"? If you don't then it's another one worth looking into.
I've not, definitely looks interesting though!
Drinking Game Idea: Watch this video and take a drink every time she says... you guessed it... "Malice."
The only inconsistency I can answer is the "Why Didn't Shania turn into a monster in a good ending." Sadly it's not related to werewolves, it's that throwaway line before the Tirawa fight, it has the power to purify the evils of mankind. To get the good ending you have to fully upgrade her Tirawa form, which I guess you can vaguely imply gives it the power to purify her body of the malice. I like your idea better tho.
Shania's both the best character and the one that gets shafted the most. From her design being lowkey offensive to her not being given the same level of care concerning her powers and what they do to her that Yuri received.... yeah...She is the reason why axes are my favorite weapon to dual wield tho, I'll give her that!
Love the video. I have a bit of an odd relationship with shadow hearts. This was my first one and I loved it so much I went back to find covenant. And I remember I once held the original in my hands at a GameStop and begged to get it but wasn’t successful. It’s a weird case of me knowing full well that this game has problems, but have a special attachment to it since it was my introduction to this series
I beat this game with pretty much the same characters in rotation. I use the Knife Boy, Fusion Girl, Young Grandma, and Guitar Gun. On a more interesting note, I was lazy as fuck when I played this, so I barely did any of the characters' skill quest. The game is pretty easy all things considered.
Also, I actually like the characters. I think they are fun.
33:00 Please tell me there's a spinoff game where you play all this as Lenny. I want to play that game far more than this one. "Lenny's Bolivian Salty Tower Rescue Mission" or something.
I wondered why shadow hearts died i guess this explained it
I still remember the black and white panties for Alice in the first shadow hearts....
Hey there!
Are you gonna do a review of 'Nightmare of the Wolf'? I would love to know your thoughts on it. I thought it was at least much better than the main show of netflix, and gave me some hope for season 2. Would love to know your thoughts. Love the channel btw!
I liked all the games. All four of them. Number 2 was my favorite. When I say four I am including Koudelka and when I say 2 I mean Shadow Hearts Covenant. I wish they would make more games like that. The Shadow Hearts games need a remaster or Remake. I know they are making a game called Penny Blood.
I remember having daily meltdowns from this game as I was stuck fighting Etna as a kid. When I finally beat her I didn’t save in the next area and died to enemies….I had to calmly take out the disc and snap it in half as I would’ve thrown my PlayStation out the window otherwise. Such a great game though just wish I could’ve finished it back then.
Wait why you use After Effect for video editing? I use After Effect only for post-production. If you want to edit a video, use Premiere Pro. You can edit videos much faster than in AF. And when you’re done editing the video, you just copy and paste it in AF and added the effects where needed.
The next episode will be about werewolves sounds interesting
Because we got After Effects for free due to my dad's work at the time. I don't intend to use Premiere Pro either though, I'm stepping away from Adobe products altogether.
@@ProperBird It makes sense now. So if you are not satisfied with the Sony Vegas.
I heard good things about DaVinci Resolve. Maybe you can try it too.
@@menoffewwords9199 I'll definitely give that a look, thanks!
Fav scene was 20:07, can't wait for the werewolves
At least it was a descriptive name. :p
The cast being little more than background noise was why I couldn’t connect with this game and never finished it. The characters was completely irrelevant after they joined. Now that I think about it, all of the Shadow Hearts games suffered from this but it got worse with each game.
Also, Lady Killer lol I finally get it
Except for the first game.
At least Zhuzhen and ,Haley were very much present after they joined.
Zhuzhen was very Importen in the first half of the game with Dehuai.
And Haley because of Koudelka
A werewolf character would be amazing 😻
Just want to say that I am liking these long-form videos about games.
Reminds me a bit of Ragnarox but very much your own style.
To think I subscribed years ago for Witcher videos.
Have you ever considered making a Werewolf video (I am not good at this)?
A lot of people did, I'm glad some of you stuck around for my other stuff. ❤️
@@ProperBird It's our pleasure. But why is werewolf the phrase?
@@michimatsch5862 Why not eh? 🐺
@@ProperBird fair.
2:05 They made the right choice. I like this
I bought and played this game and forgot absolutely everything about it. Literally everything.
You’re content is soooo amazing 🧚🏻♀️🍬💕
i was a real big fan of the werewolf, or should i say, werewolves that appeared in this series :3 loved watching each of these vids, great way to use my down time
Everyone always forgets about the werewolves I swear!
Didn´t expect they would introduce werewolves in to the game like that.
Right? Madness I tell you.
I think the title is the JRPG everyone wish they could forget D: wtb Yuri's dad story
Man I loved how campy it was
On point analysis, through all the games. I played and finished all except Koudelka and couldn’t agree more with you.
FTNW would’ve been better with a werewolf character, no doubt :)
love the ff8 bgm. i bought this game back in the day but werewolves made me bored in the grand canyon, so that's what this game was...
I liked this game.
This is the game that introduced me to the whole series so I'm really biased towards it. I only have the demo disc but was never able to play the whole game
My personal thoughts about the game (posting this before the video so I can then watch it and see if your opinions are similar to mine): Firstly, and mostly, I'd have to say that I feel that a lot of the hate is a little unfair. It's not really _that_ bad. Now, granted, some of the story elements, and some of the characters are just plain _silly,_ sure. I get that. But, the game itself, remains fun to play at least in my opinion. The main battle theme for the first third+ of the game is an absolute banger which always helps (if you have to do a lot of battles, the BGM better be awesome or you're going to have a terrible time), and I found myself enjoying the spells system of FtNW more than 2's (that whole thing with the demon map was just... eh. it just didn't jive with me really).
While Yuri is a cool character, I found myself liking Shania a bit more. She uses axes, and... well, I mean, I _am_ a guy. I won't lie and say I didn't like the fanservice morph animations (I mostly just used the Earth one for almost the entire game once I got it until I got the Sun one unlocked).
The main issues I can see with FtNW mostly stem from the characters mostly being "eh". I'd use Johnny, Shania, and Frank and the fourth character.... is where I had trouble deciding as the others just... didn't really "do" it for me. I tend to gravitate towards melee-heavy characters, so Fat Hilda would be awesome, but you have to keep drinking blood for her to maintain it (otherwise she becomes Thin Hilda, which is a caster). Neat concept but eh. Too much micromanaging for my tastes. Mao is okay, but... doesn't have a whole lot going for her when it comes to her skills (unless you grind the cat coins, which is... eeeh.). Natan just doesn't do enough damage, could never understand why he seems so weak in the physical attacks department. I usually just end up relying upon the mariachi as he's the "close enough" thing, though later on, some of his ability unlocks are pure awesome but it takes a long time for him to start to shine.
Also, Johnny himself is more of a caster than a melee attacker, and he's required to be in the group at all time. With these JRPGs, it's usually the main protagonist/forced party member who is usually the great melee attacker, and when a game changes this up, I kinda feel like I wish I could swap them out of the group. He gets a _little_ better later on as the game progresses, but I feel that through at least half of the game, he's just not strong enough in the physical attacker department. Just personal playstyle issues I suppose.
But then, I feel that half of #2 has similar character issues: Yuri and the german girl are awesome, the wolf is surprisingly good, but you're left with "who do I fill the 4th slot with?" until you finally arrive in Japan and get the actual _good_ 4th character (the samurai obviously).
So, after watching the video: Eh, I suppose this is a story-heavy channel and most of the gripes against the game are with its story and character development, which I can understand. I do disagree with the music, though. Some of it was rather awesome IMO. Maybe not as good as SH2, but still had some nice tunes I rather enjoyed as mentioned before.
And into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice... sorry wrong franchise 😆
Zonda wasn't keeping rings THAT interesting I'm afraid. :p
@@ProperBird 😂😂
Wonder if we'll ever get a jrpg about werewolves? I mention this because the last werewolf game I've even heard about was Werewolf the Apocalypse Earthblood and that was just uninteresting to say the least.
Honestly I was looking forward to that game too and it turned out to be such a disappointment. :(
Another great video. I thought the wait felt longer, but definitely worth it.
If you havnt played Nier games somehow, I suggest doing so. Might fill some of the space left by the void of this one.
I have, although I still have to get to replicant!
Jinzeee, i just searched for this game on youtube and randomly clicked on this video only to realise that it was a familiar face and voice 🤭
From the New World is the Wild Arms 4/SMT IV Apocalypse of the franchise. As a standalone game its fun, but the cringe writing (outside the villain duo) and being glued to a well-loved series kinda makes people hate it violently. Shania is hot and the people who complain about her are very silly; doesn't help that the non-character that ended up Yuri's mom is far more offensive than a goofy stereotype.
Edit: Shania needed a Malice Wendigo Werewolf form.
God I miss shadow hearts😂 was such a nice and different game❤ would love a remaster or remake of the game . But I don’t see that happening sadly
Va fail! Looking forward to the werewolf content. Hope it includes a look at Bloodborne!
Among other things! 😎
Huh... i playd this alot wen i was lk 12 but didnt relize how 3 was so 1 note in the story.... wel i luvd playn ricardos songs n got to continue using the valentine party members(joachime best valentine) and maos fully upgraded drunken fist was fun lul uhh yea, great review hope to see more classics or modern stuff uwu
edit: btw i believe from wut i remember shania doesnt turn into a malice monster in the good ending cuz to get the good ending she has to get the final fusion that removes all of her tattoos and removes all of her malice
As per request from the end of the video...... werewolves. I stuck around.
And thank you for sticking around. ❤️
Exceptionally based.
Frank has a Spanish accent. Which is funny because he’s supposed to be Brazilian. Legend says he’s also a werewolf.
I've made to this series with this game. Dispute the hate on this one, I still love It. Nowdays I see the flaws of the game, but playing It as a teenager was a great experience.
all of the characters are stereotypes i think the indian feller added some strange interest to the story like the cat i dont think stereotypes should be taboo its fiction its not going to make you anymore racist than gta makes kids into shooters and stories and supposed to reflect a perfect world having "good"representation can be as damaging as good for a work
Shadow Hearts is one of my absolute favorite games ever. I really enjoyed Covenant as well. I tried three times to get through A New World...but just couldn't do it. It just wasn't Shadow Hearts to me, where's the horror? And Shania wasn't a good substitute for Yuri and his Harmonixer abilities. I want to turn into demons, and werewolves not what ever Shania turns into. It was just a disappointing experience all around. Also as a side note I love the FFVIII music in the background of your video, another game near and dear to me, I would to see a video on your take of it.
The JRPG I never knew existed. 🧐
i loved this in-depth video like the others and New World the one i never played. Wild game and crazy story about the game company. This was a better time spent than hunting werewolves thnx for the vid.
I do wonder if there were wolves other than Blanca on Domremy. Also why were there no werewolves as fusions in any of the games?
FtNW wasted sadly many opportunities of great character-developement, but I hope that someday the moon will be right to a new Shadow Hearts game. I do hope however, that it will succeed! A great review as always, really! I am really happy to have found you and am slowly catching up with the old videos too. :D
Right? I aim to address this lack of wolves soon.
Lobo (max Earth fusion in SH1)?
I feel very late getting to watch this and I feel like I should apologise for that. Don't know why. I would like to say it was because I was busy, but the spell I have to become a werewolf didn't even work. Maybe the incantation had to be said in the original Russian... or maybe spells from a book your school friend got you for a fiver from an eclectic bookstore on the promise of cupcakes just don't work, sadly.
I completed this game back in 2006, and I havent touched it since. I forgot why I didn't touch it since then, then I saw this video 😂 oh yeah, and uhh werewolf
Werewolves
I also am a huge fan of the shadow hearts series.
I have 3 games for ps2 and a retro console with koudelka that constantly crashes lol.
Never played from the new world I have still wrapped.
I like hearing your reviews and I look forward to werewolf women of the ss....
Werewolves in games come in many shapes and sizes but somehow they never got a real proper game of their own (that didn't suck).
Oh no, a 21 year old dating a 16 year old guy, never seen that before, terrifyingly uncanny.
