Traumatic Tails Chapter 1 is the first and last in an incomplete series... it's a relatively straightforward JRPG where you play as an anthromorphic animal.
Battles are 1-on-1 and everything is as simple as it can be... but there is the interesting addition of having a "companion" who can be called with a command in the battle menu. Unfortunately the one you get in this chapter just has a "defend" command. Basic as it is, everything's pretty well balanced. You'll have to do some grinding to get money for the best equipment though...
Graphics are simple but clearly had some effort put into them. Nothing really looks bad, and even the most mediocre looking stuff is recognizable. Dungeons are kinda bland looking though for the most part, though... cave and forest areas especially. There are a few nice little cutscenes in here too.
Music is a mixture of a few songs from Final Fantasy with a set of impressive original compositions made specifically for the game, written by someone called Meladori Magpie. These are really good songs, almost too good to have been used on this simple game. A few unused ones are in the game's archive too.
Still, it's not bad. It's solid. I'll give it the same rating as Master of Malice, even though Malice was slightly better overall. Shame the series ended here, it could have ended up being Eddy O'Malley's best work in Megazeux..
