Fray Xak Gaiden
« on: May 15, 2012, 06:00:36 AM »
So I recently discovered the game via screen shots and was wondering if anyone has played it. It looks REALLY good!  and the game play seems similar to Kiki Kai Kai and Lengend of Valkyrie.

Have any of you played it? is it worth hunting down?

I have it. If you are at all interested in it after seeing screen shots or videos than you absolutely want it in your collection. Its fun and funny, it has good graphics, gaijin protection is low.

It's cute as a button and tons of fun (even with the bitchy jumps required), though it's not very hard (except for the stiff jumps).  I'd definitely say it's worth getting if the price is right.

What would be a decent price for it? Saw one on evilBayz for $35 or so.  I'm pretty sure I will want to add that one to my collection. Something about it totally grabbed me by the Otaku :D

It is an excellent game.  One of my favorites on the PCE.  35$ seems fair.  I paid 35$ for mine a few years back.

It's got some great music too.

It's a spinoff of the Xak series, meant to be cutesy and fun.   Check out the MSX2 version as well.   It was translated to english, and it is fanf*ckingtastic.

Yeah, $35 seems like a decent price for it (it's $33 from hit-japan).

I've never seen this one, it looks pretty awesome though! Yeah from videos I've watched it looks like your kikikaikai/valkyrie comparison is spot on. There's just soooo many games on PCE you never hear about.
