Game Review: Fragile Dreams – Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Since I got my Nintendo Wii, there haven’t been too many games for it that I was greatly fond of. Sure, it has fun & innovative titles like Mario Party 8 and Super Mario Galaxy, but I needed something with a little more substance. The problem for me was that the Wii lacked a good RPG. A few weeks ago, I discovered the solution to this problem: Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon.
Fragile is a very immersive RPG experience from the get go. With no backstory provided, you’re immediately taken into a world that has been mostly destroyed. You play as Seto, a young boy who has been living most of his life with an old man. Time takes its toll on the old man, and he dies an unfortunate death. His dying wish is for Seto to explore the outside and find any others who may have survived from whatever catastrophe destroyed the world.
Seto steps outside into the world and runs into a girl singing a mysterious tune. After a brief encounter, the girl quickly takes her leave. Who is the mysterious girl? Is she human, or even alive? What destroyed the world? Is Seto really alone? These are the questions you will constantly be asking as you explore the world of Fragile. As the story progresses, more and more gets revealed, and at a fair pace. In the end, while the story isn’t spectacular, it’s definitely what motivated me to devote more than 40 hours of my time into this game.
