A group of archaeologists on a routine expedition discovers an ancient machine and its pilot in a structure that dates back thousand of years. Scientists dub the machine Elemental Gimmick Gear and replicate it as a means of transportation. Years later, at the excavation site, scavengers in search of lost treasure trigger a switch that causes destruction the world over. You, as Leon, the pilot of the original EGG, must investigate this strange occurrence and bring peace back to the land. In this 2D action RPG, you'll be traveling across the land in search of answers and resolution, which will come in the form of exploration, challenging puzzles, and turn-based combat. Along with the traditional combat skills found in a standard RPG, you'll also acquire special skills that take advantage of your EGG's capabilities. Molded in the classic style of 16-bit RPGs with the visual acuity of the Dreamcast, EGG: Elemental Gimmick Gear takes the genre to a new level.

Elemental Gimmick Gear

Pros: best rpg for dreamcast
Cons: it could be better
Elemental Gimmick Gear, the newest RPG for Dreamcast, uses the old plotline chestnut of your character being stricken with amnesia and in search of his identity. But in this case, the protagonist has a stout suit of mechanized armor to help him with his cause. EGG borrows heavily from Legend of Zelda in its gameplay. Your character wanders around an overhead map littered with strange beasts. Killing monsters garners you gabaro (rupee), energy balls (hearts), or crystals to charge your special weapons. As you continue through the game, you'll find energy tanks that increase your health, and new gimmicks and special weapons that allow you to get into places you weren't formerly able to get into. EGG's most original feature is its shift to a kind of 3D fighting game when you face a boss character. Unfortunately, the secret to winning these battles is usually block, let your opponent attack, punch, repeat. EGG is in all ways average, falling far short of the game it attempts to emulate. It will hold your interest, but have you wishing you were playing Link rather than a golden robot
