I played some Guardian's Crusade today. It's another one of those PS1 RPGs that I recall playing a long time ago, but had completely forgotten about until recently. It's made by Tamsoft, known for Battle Arena Toshindin and a metric ton of Simple 5000 Series games. Anyway, the game is basically an RPG-lite. Everything is very simple and straightforward from the layout of the world, to the combat, to the graphics, to the story and characters. Everything is very "child-friendly", you might say.
On the other hand, it's surprisingly addictive. I played it for about an hour and a half today and found it to be kind of fun. There's was a sudden, random surge in difficulty after I left the fourth town, which mainly the result of a certain enemy that occurs frequently in that area and which has a really, really cheap attack [health drain] that it uses all the time.
