"The Epic of Gilgamesh" is one of the oldest known recorded myths. For the first time in history, the epic is retold as a role-playing game using Ancient Sumerian scholar Danny P. Jackson's translation and artwork from the popular Final Fantasy video game series.
Features:
- a timeless story about coming to terms with the human condition
- graphics and music from Final Fantasy IV-VI and the rpgvx RTP
- a unique "sacrifice system" that allows player's to exchange spoils from battle for equipment and skill upgrades
- learn factoids about the real Ancient Sumer and experience their stories as never told before
- several optional bosses and side quests with more under developments
- more than 200 maps to explore
- 3.5 - 5.5 hours of gameplay
Main Characters (see http://www.gilgameshgame.com/index.php/about/characters/):
Gilgamesh:Gilgamesh is the king of Uruk, the largest city in the region of Sumer. His unparalleled strength and lack of fear have made his name known throughout the continent. While his subjects respect him for these qulities, he has recently begun to abuse his power
Enkidu:The villagers of Uruk call up to the Annunaki, the seven highest gods who watch over Sumer, to help them. They decide to send Gilgamesh a companion, Enkidu, a creature who is neither human nor beast. But is Enkidu a friend or foe? Their meeting is just the begging of a story which necessitated the invention of the word "epic". Transverse the Great Desert, pillage the Cedar Forest, descend to the Netherworld, climb the mountain to the highest eagle's nest, meet the unisex scorpion people and finally visit Dilmun, the home of the gods!

This game is amazing! The characters, to re-telling, etc. The only problem I've seen is after using a confusion attack, the character is frozen and the battle can not go on, leaving the game unable to continue. Aside from that, the game is fantastic.

This is a query about Kain. You have given him a high MP which carries on increasing with levelling up; but you have only given him one skill - and that one is a zero MP skill anyway. Did you forget to put his skills in, or is this the way it's intended?
By the way, your own website is showing Anu's Temple as still under development, but obviously it can't be if I've got Kain.

Congrats on getting Kain. Everything is complete in the game - I just didn't take out Kain's MP and I haven't updated my website in a while. I'm thinking of starting a contest asking people to write a player's guide for the temple and other side-quests, with the best one being published on my site and getting a signed hard-copy of the game with a pretty jewel case. Let me know if you're interested.

I've finished the whole game, but I must admit I was thrown by the fact that if you enter the Void and go through it you then have the end credits. Fortunately I had an earlier save and so could go back to the Depths and on to Enlil's Wrath - but again that takes you to the end credits; so it seems that you either do the main quest or all the optional dungeons, but can't do both. Is that right, or have I missed some cunning way of getting round that?

Pretty much - you can't save after either the battle with Enlil or Exdeath, which technically means there's no way to get a perfect game. You can however save after beating the tower of babel, which is harder than the void (or is supposed to be at least), so getting the reward for beating its' boss is kind of like having a complete game.

Yes, that boss is harder. I can see that not being able to save after Enlil makes sense, but I can't see why Exdeath has to lead to the end credits; it doesn't seem to be required by the logic of the game, and would just need, say, a simple dialogue box telling him to go back and complete what he had set out to do. The present arrangement feels rather unsatisfactory.

the mapping. is horrendous
feels odd looking at the background with a giant tree despite it having been destroyed

Game crashed when I was making my way through the (very long) mountain pass that goes to the desert. Not the best game on the shelf but I did play long enough to get to that point. However, I'm not going to keep playing because I lost alot of progress and I dont want to risk more crashes.
This game from what I understand is trying to depict some mythological story using RPG maker. Everyone talks like shakespeare characters. The beginning of the game is a bit difficult because I used up all my mana early on and didnt have enough supplies to take on the 2 bosses in the first dungeon (from which you start in and cannot escape from). So I had to restart and make sure to escape from random encounters and conserve my mana for the first dungeon's bosses. In the next chapter I continue to conserve mana and escape from battles, but there turned out to be no real bosses. Instead, some thot came up and caused my character to get de-leveled. (Interesting game design choice here)
Alot of final fantasy resources are used in the game as well. Moogles are save points, all enemies are final fantasy monsters and lots of FF music are in here as well. The game finally opens up on chapter 3 and I get access to shops and Inns. I also foraged the southern swamp which helped power level my party pretty fast, but when I went north to the mountain pass to progress the story, I never made it because of the crash I mentioned at the start of this post. If you dont care that the game can crash, you could try this game if you want, but be mindful of the first dungeon.
