FIRST LOOK:
A GOOD N64 RPG?!


H2O Entertainment and THQ, along with Chris Klug, the designer of DragonQuest, is promising those of us with a Nintendo 64 a good role-playing time with Aidyn Chronicles. Telling the story of Alaron, a young boy searching for his True Name. THQ is promising an interesting storyline, neat spells, cool characters, and a battle system that doesn't suck. Aidyn Chronicles will have multicharacter parties, day/night effects, at least partially non-linear gameplay, and even weather effects. RPGs really haven't been done well on the N64 yet, but this game may very well prove us skeptics wrong, and show that a good role-playing game really can be done on the Nintendo 64.
