Like any good father would, King Valdus issues a royal decree stating that whoever rescues the princess from the Majin will be granted anything his or her heart desires. Not only are the Majin plaguing the lands with their fiendish ways, they've also kidnapped the princess of Valdia, who is betrothed to the young commander of the Valdian Knights, an elite military force that serves the kingdom. Once you've completed the prologue, you can begin a new game that gives you a brief overview of the Kingdom of Valdia, where things seemed fine until the demonic realm of Besek mysteriously appeared. Captured Majin can be sacrificed later for skills or summoned to aid you in battle. This also helps when you deliver the finishing blow, because if you take the enemy down to a certain number of negative hit points, you'll get an overkill, which allows you to bind the Majin and then capture it. Each enemy has a weakness, so it's useful to determine what it is and exploit it to make the battle go more swiftly. As the party leader (which changes depending on which story you follow), you can use the lead command, where if other members of the party wait on their turn, they save their attack to perform a powerful combo with the leader. Depending on your character, you'll move them closer to the enemy so you can engage in a melee attack otherwise you can hang back and cast spells or attack with a long-ranged weapon. The bottom of the screen tells you which unit or character is up next, so you can plan accordingly. As in past SRPGs, fights take place on a battleground where you move your characters on a grid to get closer to the enemy and then issue commands. Together they teach you the basics of battle. Raki-short for Ranunculus-is her trusty, wolflike companion, who just happens to be a Majin (demon). You begin the game with a prologue that introduces Thage, a lovely young woman with a thing for black lace. You'll get to know Thage really well if you choose to follow her storyline.
The game even throws in multiple storylines to pursue, as well as a demon-collecting system in which you can bind, capture, and then summon them to fight for you. Eternal Poison doesn't do much in terms of creating a unique and original experience, but it works well if you're looking for a standard SRPG to play. This strategy role-playing game delves into darker, gothic themes and has a rather cliche "save the princess" plotline-a story that has been told countless times in video games in a variety of ways.
Eternal Poison was released in Japan earlier this year under the name Poison Pink.
