Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Beauty Castle.
  • Cult Classic
  • Girl-Show Ghetto: The likely candidate for the game's obscurity. Released when roll playing games were expected to be dark with reasonably complex plots, the adorable sprites and soft painted backgrounds, breezy story, and fairy tale tone would've had an uphill battle at best. The fact that it was an RPG expressly aimed at little girls getting into the genre (a demographic rarely catered to even to this day) wasn't doing it any favors.
  • It's Easy, So It Sucks!: By far the biggest complaint of the game is its extremely soft difficulty. Most battles can be won with auto-fighting turned on, you can count the number of battles where the tactical positions mean anything on one hand, and the enemies tend to deal so little damage the puppets are rarely needed despite their prominence in the story.
  • Narm Charm: The game runs on this. The script and especially the musical numbers tow the line between tongue-in-cheek parody and just plain cheesy. Sub or dub, the songs have simplistic rhyme schemes with very lighthearted lyrics, but the singing is genuinely good.
