There have been a rash of bad-to-mediocre RPG's for the PS2 lately, and this one rises above the dreck with the combo system and the solid graphics and sound.

A tough love of a game. You won't get into it right away, and for the first few hours you'll be finding yourself swearing more than playing. But with a little patience, and a few grains of salt, it becomes a rather fun RPG.

Cheap deaths, a bland story, and questionable boss balance hold Forever Kingdom back from being a completely satisfying experience.

Controlling three characters simultaneously is a breeze, and the complex combo system makes trouncing enemies fun. [Feb 2002, p.156]

Just doesn't quite provide enough bang for your buck. [Iss #54, Jan 2002]

Add to that the lethargic pace of the action, inconsequential storyline and ridiculous outfits/items (which are an acquired taste at best), and this RPG sinks rather quickly into the ever-growing pool of dead-average RPG's trying to cash on the genre's ever-growing popularity.

The multiple-character combos are a nice touch, but the execution is so poor as to make it a moot point. [Feb 2002, p.106]

Played and enjoyed this two decades ago. But returning to it, I find the controls have aged poorly. There is also steep difficulty curve about halfway through the game and a lot of backtracking. But if you can overcome that you’ll have a good time. The plot and puzzles are good. And the OST is outstanding, probably better than many recent FromSoft games.
