"...fun combat and great Crafting...The RPG genre isn't overly deep on the PSP and this title certainly fills a hole for JRPG fans." Into Liquid Sky
"...a very fun, solid title..." PSM Magazine
"The crafting and battle system alone are worth the price of admission and the multi-player really seals the deal." ZTGameDomain

Unlike other RPGs, where you can interact with and check everything in the environment, Blade Dancer implements a different system, where only specific objects can be selected. This means that you no longer need to check every vase, bookshelf, or other objects for hidden potions or items. Instead, the game puts the treasure into chests, which your character can see and select using the Square button...The crafting system in Blade Dancer allows the player to create weapons, items, and accessories; it's my all-time favorite crafting system because there's no need for trial and error. Your characters can go to the appraiser to find out the exact recipe for creating an item or weapon, which is great because once you know the recipe, it will appear within the crafting menu, underneath "Craft from Recipe." In addition, the crafting menu allows the player to "craft from ingredients," reminiscent of the trial-and-error mini-game found in other titles. While this is the best way to find new items, it's also very time-consuming...Overall, Blade Dancer was a lot of fun, with a few minor downsides -- the equipment system and walking speeds. What I really enjoyed was the crafting system because we could craft the item whenever we wanted, even on the world map, thus reducing the need of going back to town to buy healing items or new equipment. This title is really slow to pick up, but it is pretty fun to just learn the system and travel around. The worst part is the walking speed (or lack thereof) through the world maps, but in later portions, your character learns to teleport. Blade Dancer has become one of my favorite RPGs for the PSP; it's great on the go, has a satisfying single-player portion, and with the inclusion of multiplayer aspects, Blade Dancer should have a bit of something for everyone.
