As the game opens, you assume the roles of three wayward souls, or as the game refers to them, "Dream Chasers." Rudy, an orphan, possesses the unique ability to psychically bond with "ARMs", or Ancient Relic Machines (ranging from handguns to rocket launchers.) Cecilia, a princess, is, of course, your magic user. Jack is a mysterious and weathered swordsman who, along with his rodent companion, Hanpan, rounds out your versatile party of three. As your party meets up at a festival in the Filgaian capital, Adlehyde, our antagonists are revealed, the dreaded Demon race from a galaxy far, far away. The story builds gradually, and though a bit confusing at times, reveals interesting bits of our characters' sordid pasts. Overworld adventuring is standard, but Wild ARMs stands out in its Dungeon scenarios, presenting challenging and downright fun puzzles to solve around every corner. ~ Benjamin F.
