Mehhh... Treasure of the Rudras starts out fine but it just kinda hits the same snag as a lot of RPGs of this time. The mantra system is cool, the presentation is great the story being split between three characters is... probably cool but I focused on Surlent's story and kinda got bored of it (apparently a lot of events in it only make sense if you play Sion's first but that just makes me wonder why you'd let me play the campaign in any order).

My issue with Treasure of the Rudras is the same as FFV, it's just dungeons after dungeon without really anything new introduced to the gameplay or story, just aimless wandering through them hoping that the core combat is somehow strong enough to carry the game for that long (it isn't).

Typically I always try to only be playing one game at a time but I kinda got bored of Rudra, started some other game with the intention of it just being a break to refresh myself, barely ever came back to it, today I just decided to "officially" drop it.

Also apparently you can bug out the game if you use save states to play it, and there's a glitch where you can softlock yourself which I might have done? So uh, I dunno, maybe a good thing that I dropped the game.
