Sword 4 Hire is on a distinguished road
Well this gamer rocks. The 4 characters are each very diverse and badass! With a wise sniper, a money hungry treasure hunter, an aspiring carefree priest and a girl lookin for adventure they all team up to wander the world of Figauro (not sure on spelling?)

The battle system is quite good. Each individual uses a gun (beretta might like this RPG) and you can battle on horses and in ships as well. No one is lined up in a line so everyone runs freely around the battle ground. And you can summon forces known as guardians as well as use magics called Arcana.

The cel-shading is odd at first but after awhile it gives an all new sense of brightness and a cartoony feel to it. It makes every color just stand out that much more.

Although I've yet to dig too deep within the story what I've seen so far its quite good. This game reminds me of Skies of Arcadia thrown in an old Clint Eastwood movie. The western feel is something I've never seen in any other RPG and to be quite honest I like it! Although the controls are a bit odd with the dashing (you'll see if you play it) I think this game is great! I give this game 8 out of 10 Solidnake sta---err...S4H Stars...

I'll update my thoughts once I've gotten farther.
