  1. Billy

    Amazing game. 1st time its ever been released here in the States. Released only in Asia decades ago. This game has you play multiple stories with different characters. Deff reccomend.

  2. Radio

    Amazing that they are finally localizing these games that didn’t get US releases back in the day and giving them a sweet HD 2.5D revamp. It’s greatly appreciated and the music and storylines hold up incredibly well

  3. Timothy

    Great game if your a fan of the original from the snes era

  4. mscalper

    Very good retro style RPG for the Nintendo Switch. A must have for any collector

  5. Joeljl521

    If you’re into old school, RPG’s or a fan of Chrono trigger, then I definitely recommend picking this up.

  6. Boughtthis

    Way better than expected. It’s fun, but in a ‘I really respect this’ kinda way.

  7. Sesx

    Got as Christmas gift for relative, they loved it and expressed no complaints.

  8. Multiuse

    Great RPG for those without a ton of time. You can play it story by story.

  9. quaman26

    Very good and fun game. My daughter has a great time playing it.

  10. theemadgamer

    What a great game, actually a bunch of smaller games (periods) in one.

  11. Eflover

    Haven’t played it yet but had to grab it for my collection!

  12. Gingin

    My daughter in law was so happy to get this. She plays all the time. Its fun to watch

  13. Cledus

    Great little game. I’m amazed you can buy this Japan only Super Famicom game in a Best But in the year 2023.

  14. Robert

    Great remake of a classic game. Must play for collectors

  15. LindaUngah

    I never played the original Live A Live, but I’m happy I didn’t because this remake is incredible. This is like Canterbury Tales as an RPG. Square has taken the influence of this game and made octopath traveler, but here is where this concept began. Releasing alongside classics like chrono trigger and final fantasy 6, Live A Live was the black sheep, the forgotten child. It was uglier graphically with a strange battle system that made it an odd duck.

    Well this remake makes it beautiful and has the final realization of a vision from 1994. 8 characters have their own stories in different eras. Scenarios vary wildly in gameplay and story, and each one is refreshing compared to the last. Then they converge in a genius new addition to this remake that makes it the definitive version. The final chapter is truly something special to behold and a stroke of genius. So happy I got to experience this rare gem.

  16. Bern

    Excellent JRPG. Great graphics, gameplay, and a fun story overall. Definitely recommend.

  17. bobino

    Brings back the classic rpg feel we have all come to know and love!

  18. jefe

    Definitely a future rare game, came remade and it was a japan exclusive, so buy it now before is gone

  19. Beavernator

    I had no idea that Undertale’s music was inspired by this game’s original version… My daughter thought I was playing Undertale when I was in the other room… The game is great all around, and highly recommend…

  20. MAFIAZ187

    Never played the original but this was a great game. A little tough towards the end

  21. JDude

    Excellent remake of an old school classic! Loving it so far

  22. Daze3x

    Amazing game. Each of the 7 stories and interesting and unique

  23. Keith

    Its fun for a lil while but i come back every few weeks

  24. fractal

    Good graphics and interesting bite sized rpg stories

  25. Great

    Great game!!!! Reminds me of the old RPG’s from the early 90s

  26. Munch

    Really good game, still have not played through every character but it is worth the buy.

  27. Player79

    I know I’m old but still this game can be good to new or young gamers if you like JRPG I strongly recommend this game

  28. Leonidis

    This is a fun JRPG game. I really like the updated graphics. This is not a game you can pick up and put down quick. It does take some time to figure out each era, but exploring it is fun for a completionist like me.

  29. Unknown

    fun game overall, had a good time playing it and would get again

  30. Doink

    probably a top 3 rpg for the switch so far (for me at least) this is not your typical rpg, expect to experience multiple different areas, stories, and adventures. this games stays interesting. if you like turnbased combast, top down, great story telling, pick this up. havent really seen it go on sale so buy it before its too late 🙂

  31. Anaverd

    A superb remake! The visuals and music are breathtaking, and the gameplay has been much improved thanks to the new quality of life features. You should definitely check out this unique and amazing game!

  32. Unknown

    Good rpg. A little bit more difficult to get into at the start but really funny and opens up.

  33. PixieColor

    Highly recommend for anyone seeking a RPG that brings back the total bliss that is classic SNES gaming.

  34. JoeW

    Great game. Glad it was finally brought state side

  35. ReadyPlayer1

    Cool assortment of characters to choose from. Each with there own story segments to play through.
    Fantastic art style and voice acting.

  36. hchang32

    Look alive live a live is here. Grab a copy before there’s no more physicals.

  37. BrownMagic

    HD-2D is the new hotness. Jump on it. Seriousness, one of the most innovative RPGs I’veplayed since the fan translation.

  38. CrystalChronos

    So glad this hidden gem has finally been brought to NA.

  39. Jrock21

    Great RPG especially for a retro gamer who loves the old 16 bit Super Nintendo JRPGs

  40. GeorgeK

    Bought for my brother and he lik3d it he told me !

  41. RichB

    Haven’t played it yet. But I’ve read good reviews. It was inexpensive and the service I received at the store was great.

  42. AlexC

    Great until the final chapter. Worth a look though

  43. Vince

    It was so cool to finally get to experience this game in the west. I’ve seen video game media and bloggers talk about it for years and all of their hype was well warranted. Game is incredible. Also, they can literally remake any 16 bit game in HD-2D and I’ll be in lol

  44. StephenpaulC

    I love the story the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  45. Nick

    Great games and fast delivery. Come in bubble wrap and deliver on time

  46. Unknown

    Got it fast and in great condition 10/10 must buy!!

  47. Robin

    If you like the games of old Squaresoft, then this is a good one that never made it to America back in the day. It feels similar to something like Chrono Trigger. Great music, fun characters, and a neat HD pixel art style.

  48. Pcdude99

    Great game, and a true to the original remake. Great sound track.

  49. ChristinaH

    Excellent remake of a solid SNES game that we unfortunately never got in English until now.

  50. Billy

    I like this game it is fun to play. Switch games are fun.
