Glory of Heracles/YMMV

• Crowning Music of Awesome: The second battle theme is just so damn catchy.
• Game Breaker: Heracles in the second game. Though he can't cast magic, he's the strongest character in the game in nearly all stats. Although it makes sense, given that you did beat the first game with him and all.
• It's Easy, So It Sucks: This is definitly not a series you play for its challenging battles. The games before the DS entry are damn hard though. Several enemies in the second can DESTROY any of your equipped items, and by the time you start hunting the Taphoi in the DS game, the difficulty hikes itself up a notch or two.
• Tear Jerker: This is one of those "smiles and tears" series. Your party will have some good times, but the story can hit YOU hard when you least expect it.
• That One Boss: The Sphinx in the DS Game. It took this troper about 10 times just to get close to killing it. CURSE YOU COPYING!!!!
  • It's actually pretty easy. Spend a turn or two chanting for the mages, and using focus for the melee characters, using only healing ITEMS if you need to, and you can probly take it down in one turn of attacks. Heck, just chanting and focusing for one turn first I got it down to half hp right away. And I was under leveled.
