Nostalgia

Nostalgia is a DS game developed by Red Entertainment and Matrix.  

This role playing game is set in an alternate world during the 19th century. The story revolves a group of adventurers on their journeys across the world. Edward Brown is looking for his adventurer father who has disappeared. Edward uses airships to move from place to place and fights monsters.  

The story is pretty much just average at best and there is little character development. The gameplay is pretty simple, missions are turn based both on the ground and in the sky.  You can customize you airship as you progress through the game. 

A Combat Order bar is present in battles that shows which of the player's party members or enemies will act next, with the player selecting a character's command just before their turn. In any given turn, a player may choose to attack an enemy, defend, use an item for beneficial effects, or use special skills unique to each character. In addition to ground battles, a player may also encounter enemies while in their airship, leading to a ship-to-ship combat sequence with unique commands. Players must defeat all of their enemies by attacking them until their hit points are extinguished. This grants each character experience points that go towards gaining levels, thus making them stronger and giving them access to more abilities. The player's party is judged at the end of each battle with a letter grade based on their actions in combat and is determined by how quickly and flawlessly they have defeated their enemies and may give additional rewards.   

The music is pretty good and the steampunk artstyle, and graphics were ok. 

Overall, it was an average game.  

It gets 3 out of 5 stars.
