Description
In a dark time, an epic adventure begins as evil slowly envelops the world! The forces of darkness are pursuing the lost art of Alchemy, and as they draw ever closer to their foul purpose, mankind's future hangs in the balance. You and your companions are the last hope: armed with noble weapons, mysterious Psynergy and a host of elemental creatures, you must find a way to stem the evil tide. Your ordinary life is over, as a Golden Sun rises above you and forever broadens your horizon!
Gameplay
Most of the game’s mechanics revolve around typical traditional RPG play concepts, such as randomly encountered battles and the ability to use items and magic in the turn-based combat. A plethora of well-designed puzzles is thrown into the mix as well. The execution of these elements in the game is quick, smooth, and among the best that RPGs on the GBA have to offer.
Perhaps the only significant weakness with Golden Sun’s gameplay is the archaic lack of auto-targeting in combat; in Golden Sun battles, characters defend instead of attacking new enemies when their original target is defeated.
