In this patch, Ninakoru makes a number of subtle modifications to the core gameplay and leveling systems in Secret of Evermore. Although one might not notice these modifications at first, they definitely make Secret of Evermore a better game. I won’t waste time listing all of the changes, but I will point out a few highlights. One of the best modifications included in this patch are systems in which experience is shared between similar weapon and magic types. For example, leveling up the bone crusher (the first “sword” type weapon you receive in the game) will also contribute experience towards leveling up the other sword type weapons you receive later on in the game. This is a much needed improvement because in the original game, many players wouldn’t use a new weapon or spell because they had already spent time leveling up the less-powerful version of that weapon or spell. I should also note that the patch maintains a decent level of difficulty throughout the majority of the game. For the most part, enemies and bosses were challenging without being overly difficult. However, near the end of the game enemies tended to have a bit too much HP and took forever to kill. The final boss was also way to hard to beat in my opinion. Despite these minor shortcomings, the patch significantly improves upon the original Secret of Evermore. Overall, I highly recommend it.

PS: I played thought this game in combination with FuSoYa’s 2 player hack and both work fine together.
