Save yourself the trouble, and don't bother with Laxius Power. I remember finding the link on Don's forums like 2000 years ago. I recall so vividly because the author had (poor) softcore hentai in their sig saying you "see more" in the game. I, of course, being 12, decided to give it a shot. I desperately tried to get through the game, but there comes a point where you give up. It's so dull, repetitive, charisma less and overtly difficult that it isn't even worth a second of your time. It's like playing every bad anime fan-fiction ever made.
Not learning my lesson, I decided to give Laxius Power 3 a shot. "Sure, everyone starts out bad..." I thought. Then I checked out the developer's website, and it was full of ecstatic claims of it being like 8000 hours long or something. I shrugged and downloaded it anyway. It's no better. There is a marginal graphical improvement, but I still couldn't surmount all the issues. It seems the game really tries to sell itself with artwork (I will say that 3 had pretty good artwork), but there's just nothing to back it up.
