Mysterious Song

Mysterious Song is a video game in the role-playing (rpg) genre developed by Darkness Ethereal and published by Darkness Ethereal originally released in 2000. It is currently playable on DOS.

One of the best indie RPGs ever made, Mysterious Song is a fun console-style RPG that features hand-drawn 2D tile graphics, rendered battle backgrounds, a beautiful original score, and solid gameplay.

Take on the role of Spear and embark on a quest to discover your true identity. True to its console influence, Mysterious Song is very easy to learn and play. You can equip your party members and check their stats through a console-style menu. The writing is good overall, although there are some obvious typos and awkward phrasing. Monsters are well coded and battles are generally well balanced: magic users and fighters are essential to success.

One of the high points of the game is the plot development, which is full of surprising twists throughout a very linear quest-based structure (i. e. , do X for Y to get to Z). In short, Mysterious Song is a competently coded amateur RPG that should keep console fans happy for a while.

The game is a bit short - 10 hours or less - but it's quite enjoyable. Hopefully DarkDread and his team will continue with bigger and better sequels. Recommended.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
