What it used to be one of the 2 best RPGs for gameboy advanced, it has become an extremely mediocre RPG for the NDs, with an extremely bland history, and a rehashed mechanic. As a standalone game, it's mediocre. As a sequel to Golden Sun it's terrible, and please don't blame nostalgia for it, I waited for Dark Dawn tirelessly, same I waited for The Lost Age, the second gave me enormous joy to play, Dark Dawn almost made me cry. The extremely fun concept of alchemy is reduced to good vs evil with dark psynergy. Our favorite characters have become irrelevant for the history, and their children are bland copies of them, with so little backstory as '' Hey look it's X's child ! ''. The game does little to improve the old Golden Sun Mechanics, the graphics, and the puzzles are less difficult, but more contrived and boring. I'm not surprised that any plan for further GS games haven't seen light after this one.
