"Ages ago, life was born in the primitive sea. Young life forms constantly evolved in order to survive. Some prospered, some did not, all sorts of life ebbed and flowed like the tide. In the quiet rhythm of the mother sea, life grew, always seeking to survive and flourish. Soon life began the advance towards the land, opening new habitats. A great prosperity came, as life conquered even the highest mountains. Mass extinctions came wave after wave, but empty niches always quickly refilled, to once again prosper, grow and reproduce. Someday the next great emigration will occur, as we leave this existence looking for another. The journey will begin anew. I hold within me, all the memories that have passed. Who am I..."

Holy shit, this has to be my most favorite Dreamcast game next to Phantasy Star Online.

Everything about this game is charming. The music is banging (especially Rock Is Sponge), the visuals are surrealistic and full of those old-school virtual world aesthetics, and the game itself is simple to learn, but hard to master.

I have never, ever been so hyped to fight bosses in any game, but goddamn does this game know how to get you pumped up.

This game is absolutely worth your time. You won't regret it.
