 Simply put one of my favorite games of all time September 15, 2008
One of my favorite games of all time, not to mention that it was made by Squaresoft USA! A super solid game that is a good rpg, but also funny!
Quite fun June 3, 2007

Not as good as Secret of Mana, but it is quite fun to play. A bit difficult for my liking, so I've never completed the game.
The best thing in this game is the man in the market, he is always so funny!
Fun stuff.. January 31, 2007

-One of the most fun games I've ever played, it's not really that deep, or that long. Depending on how long you take in can be done in about a day.
-The game is about a boy and his dog who find an abandoned mansion after the dog chases a cat. They find a machine in the mansion that turns on and zaps both of them to a land called evermore that is in peril and both the boy and the dog must save this world from evil.
-There are four lands in Evermore: Prehistoria, Antiqua, Gothica and Omnitopia.
-The Prehistoric land is first and it's a fun first part of the game.
Though the swamp part can be irritating for some.
-Antiqua is a Roman/Egyptian land, the part that is really fun is when you get to trade at a market in Nobilla for charms and armor. The pyramid part of the game can be a bit time consuming and difficult.
-Gothica is a medival land that is also fun, though pretty time consuming. Really didn't like the forrest maze too much, pretty long and drawn out.
-Omnitopia is the space station from the beginning and it's by far the most difficult part, but a fun part none the less.
A breakdown of the best/worst of the game:
The Great:
-The gameplay, fantastic idea to just have two characters to control. Loved the alchemy system it really adds an element of stragedy to the game as some spells only have a few uses, some have many.
-Also some ingredients you buy for some spells are really cheap, which makes leveling up easy, while some are pretty expensive which makes sparse use of them a must.
-The market in Nobilla is great also, love how you have to visit almost every booth to find out who will take what for what and how much of it you need to get it.
-Also loved the call bead item, which can be used to summon the spells of certain characters you've met throught the game.
The Good:
-The graphics, I have seen better in other games, but there still good. Loved how the spells looked.
-The sound is also pretty good throughout the whole game. The music is good too, especially in Prehistoria and Antiqua.
The Bad:
-When it comes down to it there's a few differences, but really about the same as the 'Secret of Mana' format. Not that that's a bad thing, just not much different.
-Also some of the parts of the games are a little hard, even if you level up sometimes.
-Overall the game is pretty easy. Not the best RPG ever, but one of the best on the SNES.
-If anyone wants tips on the game from me, post a comment on this review or e-mail me.

This is my first game review, so don't be harsh. The secret of Evermore is one of the best games I've played, it is easy to play yet challenges you. The game starts with an accident in a labortory where a professor has created a machine that takes you to a reality of your own making (called Evermore) someone sabbotages the project and 20 years later a young boy from Podunk U.S.A. chases his dog into the secret labortory where the machine is and accidentally gets transported to Evermore where he travels through the four very different lands trying to find a way back. It has one of the most likable heros I've ever seen and I think any rpg gamer that just likes to play for fun and not be too serious about getting the secrets codes that allow you to bypass level six and give you the ultimate wizarding weapon (or whatever) will love this game.
The game grabs you from the start January 26, 2006

If you enjoy Snes style rpg's then you will love Secret of Evermore. I loved playing the game so much that I made a guide for it. I had way more fun playing this game than Secret of Mana or Chrono Trigger. I think peoples favorites are in the timing of when they played the game; having said this, this game would be fun anytime. I really liked the storyline, and the way it looked, the music, along with one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. It is a huge world with so much to do and see.
Play this game you will be happy you did.
