(Played Through Legacy Collection)
they say it was the first game in this whole series but maaan were some of its flaws really exhaust me to finish this game.
The combat is,fine. it's not overly complex as i thought it would but it stays relatively simple and some of the bosses in this game are pretty cool.
The story is basically monster of the week type beat with world ending threat,i honestly couldn't care less aside from very early 2000s dialogue here and there.
The soundtrack was......okay i guess?idk some songs hits but some really torture my ears especially the dungeon ones and now let's move on to the dungeons,or the progression of the game.
The game overall lacks any direction for player where to go,this not only happens in the dungeon but also in DenCity,there's a lot of time where i have to wonder what or where the fuck should i even go and it doesn't help that the dungeon designs are awful combine this with very high random encounters as this only creates exhaustion rather than challenging.
Battle Network 1 is a game that not only suffers from first game syndrome but also has many flaws that can't just be overlooked by first game syndrome or a GBA launch title,i'm still looking forward to play more titles in the franchise more but as of right now it was certainly a game.
