About this game

Wild Arms 3 (titled Wild Arms Advanced 3rd in Japan) boasts major technological improvements and a number of new gameplay elements. Featuring "stroke-shaded" animation-style graphics, a "Wild West" setting, and a completely 3D game engine (not just for battles, as in the previous games).

Pros & Cons

Pros

Distinctive Wild West-inspired setting and atmosphere
HEX-based combat introduces positioning to turn-based battles.
Character tools and ARMs enable puzzle-solving and optional exploration.
Adventurous story follows a party focused on exploration.
Cel-shaded visuals distinguish the game from contemporary RPGs.

Cons

Frequent random battles interrupt exploration and slow travel.
The lengthy campaign starts slowly and varies in pace.
Some dungeons rely on backtracking, recurring puzzles, and combat.

Pros & Cons are AI-assisted summaries, not our own playthrough reviews. Sources and how we make recommendations.
