SAINT SEIYA COSMO FANTASY is an RPG where players summon an Order of up to five Knights who join forces as they face off against hordes of AI-controlled baddies and standard live player enemy fronts. Campaign mode has each player reliving the story of The Knights of the Zodiac, from its beginnings throughout the Poseidon, Odin and Hades sagas. In PvP mode, you beat off other players while completing quests and daily missions for each guild.
Combat in SAINT SEIYA COSMO FANTASY is simple. Your Knights automatically attack their enemies. From there, your Knights form your main strategic element, in that selecting the right line up (and wielding each knight's special attack forces) is tactically crucial. And that's precisely where things get a bit trickier. You recruit up to 100 different characters from the series, along with 12 of the Gold Saints—and of course Seiya, Ikki, Hyoga, etc. Plus, you can suit them up with distinct weaponry to considerably improve their stats.
SAINT SEIYA COSMO FANTASY is a spectacular RPG. Its graphics are well calibrated, and its combat system is to the point and accessible. An extensive campaign mode allows players to relive almost the entire anime saga; from Seiya's early days in the sanctuary onto the Galactic Tournament, right up until the inevitable showdown with Hades. Of course, whenever you feel you're sufficiently prepared, you can branch out to battle other live players online.
