    From under-dog to top-dog, Lufia: The Ruins of Lore is a game that should take the cult status and bring the series into the mainstream public. With a compelling storyline, fantastic graphics and gameplay, an endearing soundtrack and a huge ancient cave (which is an adventure in and of itself), Lufia is a title that all RPG fans and all GBA fans should get. As with all Atlus titles, this game will be scarce, so get it now while you can! Closing Quote "If it's a 'Final... Read more

    In the past we’ve seen some excellent role-playing games on the Gameboy Advance. Many of you will instantly think of the Golden Sun games, which are great, but a bit competition doesn’t hurt. Lufia: The Ruins of Lore continues a series that started on the SNES sporting cute characters, an interesting story, lots of fighting, and a good dose of humor. Read more

    Lufia: The Ruins of Lore (LROL) is the game I love to hate. Ever since I first played Lufia 2 for the SNES, I had always craved a sequel that would live up to the incredibly high expectations that game created. After a complete sham of a game was released on the Gameboy Color (Lufia: The Legend Returns), which I found to be a complete waste of time, I was incredibly excited to hear of a new Lufia coming straight to the GBA. It looked amazing in the previews, and I was... Read more

    Only the truly dedicated will be willing to put in the 50+ hours it will take to beat Ruins of Lore . While the game does have a few enjoyable moments, poor implementation of features leads to a level of tedium only the insane could find enjoyment in. This game truly sucks the player in with promises of fun and enjoyment, only to break those promises. Fans of the SNES Lufia games will most definitely find this game’s side story nature to be a step backwards from other... Read more

    A decent attempt at a Lufia sequel that's too archaic to love. Read more
