Slayers

Is the game worth playing?
It facially looks like an RPG... but is it really?

If so, it's faithful to the series charm and humour but is grind-heavy and there are random encounter out of the ass. Nonetheless, it's mighty cool to have Dragon Slave & other iconic spells to dispatch the enemies with.

Yup that's the one. Think I'll have to give it a shot, if only to inhabit the world again.

That's shocking for a dead IP.

It was kinda dead around 2008, but they're releasing new light novels so I imagine theres stuff in the works.

Slayers Revolution was released in 2008, followed by Evolution-R in 2009.
