Hey folks,

Broke out my Duo and my capture equipment to put up another video...  This time, Mystic Formula from Micro Cabin.  Enjoy!


Later.

You mean mystic formula!

:)  Nice.  First video Ive seen of it.   I really like the game.  I bought it based off MicroCabin , and the cover art.

Or a non-SD Fray.

Is this game expensive? I think I want it.

Rarely shows up on eBay any more, but import sites list it above $100 now which IMHO is a bit ridiculous.  I think I paid about $40-$50 for it a few years ago and Drunken Gamers told me I probably overpaid for it back then, heh.

I've found this game has always been a little pricey.
I'll have to give it another chance, only played it for a few minutes.
:D

Yeah, it always looked great in screenshots, but there's just something missing in terms of fun factor.

Yeah, its right on the edge of being a really good game, the bosses range from mechs to wizards, its got good graphics, a little hovercraft/motorcycle action, seamless transition from action to cutscenes and some pretty good soundfx.

But it looks from that video like typical Japanese PC game design...  BGs range from lavish to overy tiled, both level 1 and 2 have the same enemy deficiency: only 2 (!) different enemy types over and over and then a boss battle.  It feels a little sparse, doesn't it?

I got my copy for 30 monies complete.

Its a charming game.  The gameplay is a bit more unique than your typical over head run n gunners.
