Downloadable game review: Eternal Eden
Rating: 5

Eternal Eden is an interactive role-playing game created by the newest developers to enter the video game realm: Blossomsoft. The video game should appeal to a diverse audience and its thematic elements are easy to recognize by the average gamer. The game design follows a traditional role-playing (or RPG style) which allows the game-player to control the movements of one character through a series of levels and mazes.

When the game begins, the game-player is introduced to Noah, who is asked to open his eyes by a strange figure. Although the voice sounds familiar to Noah, neither Noah (nor the game-player) can see the identity of the mysterious figure. Noah begins to ask the mysterious figure a series of questions to help him (as he cannot remember where he is, what happened to him, or what he is exactly supposed to do). The mysterious figure will help him remember by allowing you (the game-player) to move Noah around the screen through various levels that resemble a maze. Noah can only survive the game by searching for hidden items on the levels and defeating enemies that he encounters on his journey. A small exclamation point will appear over Noah's head when he has found a hidden item.

Gamers maneuver Noah by using the arrow keys on the keyboard. When you reach the edge of the current onscreen map, you need to move Noah in a different direction. The game screen resembles a maze and the game-player moves Noah up, down, left or right. The paths are simple to follow, but expand as Noah advances in the game. To help Noah advance through the screens faster, the game-player can make Noah dash onscreen by holding the Shift key.

During his journey, Noah may begin to feel weak. If Noah drinks a mid tonic, he will regain his strength. To check the status of his health, the game-player will need to view the Menu screen. The Menu screen will list any items Noah has found, as well as his skill level, equipment and status. The game-player can also save or exit the game using this screen.

Noah will encounter dangers on his journey. When you encounter an enemy, you engage combat mode. You cannot return to field mode until the battle is complete. You have two options: fight or escape. You can switch from one to the other by using the Escape key on the keyboard. The game-player has to watch Noah's health meter. If it falls to zero, Noah dies. As with most games, you can also see your opponent's health meter. Noah's opponents are defeated
