Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
With a cool cast of characters, a suspenseful story, a huge and beautiful world, unique exploration, addictive combat a and main scenario dozens of hours long, Exist Archive has quite a lot to offer the action RPG fan. You can and will spend many fun hour playing this. Despite the issues it's worth the price of admission, particularly for its fast combat, a wonderfully pleasant contrast to the waves of purely turn-based JRPGs we constantly see.

What do a subway explosion, magical crystals, and an evil god voiced by none other than Dio Brando have in common? Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky, tri-Ace’s latest RPG might hold those answers and more. With more than some subtle references to Valkyrie Profile in its gameplay and story, there are plenty of questions gamers might have. For those looking for a role-playing treat to enjoy before the local releases of Final Fantasy XV and Persona 5, is it worth checking to see if the sky is really bluer on the other side?
A new RPG game, developed by tri-Ace, a company anything but new in regards to the genre, brings an adventure of life after death in a beautiful and vibrant world known as Protelexa. 12 Tokyo students are killed in a tragic way, but not due to sheer misfortune, but to be part of a greater plan of an evil god. Everything you need to know about the game can be found right here!
Despite it all, however, Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky still manages to be a fantastically fun JRPG. With the genre’s trademark capacity for melodrama and overemotional set pieces is all over it, the game stands as a testament to a genre in the middle of a comeback. A series that was previously in cryostasis has been revived and makes Exist Archive all the more enjoyable, knowing it is recreating an experience many fans thought they’d never see again. Even with its inability to evolve or innovate further, there’s still a fun, capital J-RPG to be found here for those who want it. Hea...
It's always interesting to experience a new JRPG franchise. On the surface, Exist Archive boasts beautiful looking environments with an eclectic cast of characters but does the gameplay live up to its imaginative world?
There’s a lot to be had here, but the PS Vita version of Exist Archive could have used some more attention. Still, in the proper hands, there’s plenty of JRPG goodness to get lost in.
Dying has been a part of playing video games since the early days of the arcade, but few games in that time have killed you off right at the beginning of the story. By the time the opening credits for Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky finish rolling, our avatar – a teenage boy named Kanata – has been caught in a terrible accident with his friends and has been transported from modern Tokyo to what appears to be a magical afterlife. Goodnight, sweet prince.
It's such a tired concept to have a lot of people get killed on Earth and then be granted immortality by a god, along with massive combat prowess. Exist Archive represents yet another iteration of this incredibly common idea.
