    [​IMG]The Gaming Union has reviewed Xanadu Next:

    Xanadu Next Review

    Over the years, Nihon Falcom has become a well-known and loved developer to both fans of action and RPGs alike, due to the mix of great gameplay and narrative they spin into each of their creations. What's interesting about the latest Falcom title publisher XSEED Games has brought over, however, is that unlike the frantic action of the Ys games (or the more narrative focus of its later entries) or the RPG-bent of the Trails series, Xanadu Next has an older bent to it. So how does that hold up in today's era, even with some minor upgrades to run better on today's modern systems?

    [...]

    While the gamepad controls aren't quite up to par, the core gameplay of Xanadu Next is still exceptionally solid and is a great window into the earlier development aspects of Nihon Falcom before their more recent releases as of late. Western gamers never got the chance to play the "true" version of this title, getting cut-down releases of the game, so getting the real thing is a joy. If you have a PC and mouse handy, it's worth your time to enjoy some good, classic action RPG goodness.

    Score: 7/10​
