"A dual pack with a beginner-friendly but sadly boring RPG, along with a much more interesting but less friendly re-release."

"A flurry of combat, engrossed with content and a story that may emotionally drain you at its climax. This is one to remember. Saviors of Sapphire Wings/Stranger of Sword City Revisited is a celebration for the dungeon-crawling devout."

"Saviors of Sapphire Wings &a; Stranger of Sword City Revisited is a fairly straightforward experience that doesn&s;t add anything special to the genre. Despite this, the game has interesting ideas and will certainly attract the attention of dungeon crawler fans."

"Either of these two games, weighing in at several dozen hours each, would be worth the price of admission alone, but to see Saviors of Sapphire Wings and Stranger of Sword City Revisited packaged together raises the value proposition considerably."
