Product Description

Sands of Destruction, an epic RPG created by the all-star Japanese developers at ImageEpoc, takes you through an epic adventure in a world surrounded by a sea of sand. In Sands of Destruction, a race of powerful beastmen known as the Ferals rule over the human population with tyranny and prejudice. A group of warriors, the World Annihilation Front, believe their only option for ending the corruption of the Ferals is to end the world as they know it. This intense game puts gamers in control of an intriguing cast of characters including the crusading Morte Ashera as well as Kyrie Illunis, who unknowingly holds the key to global destruction. Gamers will explore a fantastic world, traveling across oceans of sand, battling colossal enemy monsters and unraveling the mystery of the creation of the world. Immerse yourself in dynamic battles taking up both the top and lower screens of the DS and an epic storyline with a twist, in this action-packed fantasy RPG exclusively on the DS.

5.0 out of 5 stars This game belongs on the SEGA Saturn
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2011

This game is outstanding.

It looks, feels and sounds just like a traditional console RPG as you would expect on the SEGA Saturn from the long gone 32-bit era, combining 3D polygon playfields with 2D sprites. It has that unique and rare SEGA feel to it, from the unusual and one-of-a-kind storyline to the graphical interface and effects. And it's portable!

It's a treat for anybody who likes RPGs and those who were lucky enough to play the few and precious Saturn RPGs; this one feels just like them. It is rare that the feel of RPGs from one system can be recreated on another, and most of all a portable system like the Nintendo DS, but this game is proof that it is possible.
It's a great value for enthusiasts of the genre, and very affordable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wasted Potential

This game has a great story and fairly interesting characters, a decent menu system and a great battle mechanic called "quips" (phrases spoken by party members randomly that benefit the individual or party).

And I really, really wanted to like it. But I couldn't pass my 5-hour rule. (If an RPG hasn't grabbed me by 5-hours in it's time to move on).

The graphics are horrid (ok with me actually), the voice acting terrible (made worse that it slows the game down as the voices are loading), the battles are too easy and frequent (with the same boring monsters over and over), and the frequent scripted events are tiresome (why do i have no control of my charavter sometimes? Noone likes watching someone play an RPG).

All in all the game just doesn't work for me. What it does do is make me appreciate more, as happens every time with a game like this, how special a great game really is. When all of the ingrediants mix just right.

Enemies in this game are incredibly hard and able to take more advantages than you in battle, you get little experience, and the voice acting is appalling. The fighting system is weak, too. I never finished this game; I just sold it. ._.

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2011

Sands of Destruction is a turn based rpg with Action elements. The game is the epitome of your typical Jrpg; it has many of the cliches and stereotypes in the book. Despite this, the game is fairly fun because of its lively and interesting characters (except the main character,he's okay) as well as the fun and ease of the gameplay.The game also has a unique skill upgrade system that can make or break you characters depending on how you use it(don't worry, it's not hard :) The problem is that it goes by so fast that the characters and story despite being somewhat interesting leave you with a taste and that's it. Imagine eating you first chocolate bar and then getting it taken from you after you have only eaten a quarter of it. The game is pretty short (maybe it was just easy, I don't know... the last few bosses are the only ones that are difficult)and I beat it in 12 hours and did a few side quests. I think that despite the good points about it it just leaves me annoyed as it could have very easily been a very good game.

5.0 out of 5 stars A game with an old school feel
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2010

For some reason, this game reminds me of Chrono Cross that was originally on the PSX. Has a similar battle system, and a memorable cast of characters. It has an old school feel to it, but you're not saving the world, you're trying to destroy it. Overall a great game, and if you have an Amazon game credit like I did, definitely a must buy.

The main characters are so annoying and the story is very unoriginal i've play the game midway and never touch it since. It's a waste because the battle system is interesting but that's basically it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rare gem, if a little odd.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2015

Gameplay is brilliant. Traditional JRPG fare, but the dual screen combo-based combat is great.
Story is interesting, if a little strange, and goes off a little near the end.
Voice acting is pretty good for a dubbed game, and characters are nicely varied.
All in all, a good game, an unappreciated gem, though not the absolute greatest.
