Pokemon Ruby Destiny Life Of Guardians Legendaries

I’ve been playing Pokemon ROM hacks for a couple of weeks now and I’m still amazed by the fact that most of the games I’ve loaded on to my GBA4iOS and Android emulators were made through the efforts of lone individuals.

Pokemon Ruby Destiny is a series of hacks by someone named “destinedjagold”. The games consist of: Reign of Legends, Rescue Rangers, and Life of Guardians. These three games are set in new regions, with new stories and characters. They also implement. Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Life of Guardians this is a very interesting game, make sure you will love it.

Case in point would be the Pokemon Ruby Destiny series that currently consists of three complete games and one that’s still in development. I got to play the first game in the series (Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Reign of Legends) and was completely amazed at how good it was.

Like with most games from the Pokemon Ruby Destiny series, Reign of Legends’ parent ROM is Pokemon Ruby. With that said, players will find that a lot of the cheats that worked on Ruby will also work for the games in this ROM hack.

A majority of the cheats I’ll list down are GameShark codes since I’ve found them to be more reliable. However, with the modifications made by the ROM hack’s creator, you might want to take it easy on the number of cheats you enable at the same time. There’s always the risk of the game crashing and you losing precious progress.

Essential Codes

These are some of the essential codes you’ll want to enable once you have the Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Reign of Legends ROM hack. Take note that these codes have been tested to work on emulators for three different platforms (iOS, Android, and PC). Included are some screenshots of the codes in action.

Walk Through Walls

One thing you’ll have to remember when using this cheat code is that it will freeze/crash your game when it is enabled with some of the Pokemon Encounter codes (specifically those for third gen Pokemon). Make sure to save your game (in-app and in-game saves) before enabling this cheat so as to avoid losing your progress when it does crash.

Money Code

This code will give you up to 4 Billion Poke Dollars once enabled. Additionally, you’ll still have access to this money even if the cheat is disabled.

Infinite Master Balls in Item Slot 1

A Master Ball will allow you to catch any Pokemon automatically. This cheat will give you an infinite number of Master Balls on the 1st slot of the Items Pocket of your bag. A great feature of this cheat is that the Master Balls will remain infinite on the condition that you never remove/transfer them from Slot 1. This effect will continue even if the cheat is disabled.

Rare Candies in Item Slot 2

This cheat is similar to the Master Balls cheat. Once enabled, you’ll have an infinite supply of Rare Candies to help raise the levels of your Pokemon faster.

Pokemon Encounter Codes

I initially had issues with regard to using encounter codes for third generation Pokemon with this ROM hack. Enabling the codes for Jirachi and Deoxys resulted in my game crashing several times so I just settled “older” alternatives. Take note though that even if these Pokemon are considered older than the third generation, they’re still powerful enough to take down any enemy you might encounter in the game. Also, who doesn’t like Mewtwo and Mew?

I would liken Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Reign of Legends as similar to its parent ROM, Pokemon Ruby in a lot of ways. However, the game stands on its own among other ROM hacks (for Pokemon Ruby) because it’s infinitely easier to use cheats on it!

As usual, hit the comments section if you want to add your own Pokemon Ruby Destiny cheat codes for GBA4iOS (as well as for Android and PC emulators).

Haveyou ever wanted something similar to the games you’ve played, but not quite thesame? Have you ever found yourself longing for a story in a series that usuallyprioritizes gameplay over story? Or do you just want something fresh from aseries that feels like it’s starting to stagnate?

PokemonRuby Destiny is a series of hacks by someone named “destinedjagold”. The gamesconsist of: Reign of Legends, Rescue Rangers, and Life of Guardians. Thesethree games are set in new regions, with new stories and characters. They alsoimplement Pokemon introduced after Generation 3, as well as “Fakemon”, uniquefan-made Pokemon. This review will focus on Life of Guardians, the third gamein the series; it’s the only one I’ve beaten at the time of this review.

Story

Yay for Redundancy!

Lifeof Guardians (which I’ll refer to as LoG from now on) is set in a region calledHevah. The player is a young boy or girl who wishes to become a GuardianTrainer, but doesn’t know what one is, or how to become one. He/she and theirbest friend Kevin find themselves caught up with the Dark Organization whenthey try to steal a shaman’s Pokemon; it is from here that you choose yourstarter and set out on a journey.

Thoughthe story is more interesting than in the official games, I can’t help but feelit has a lot of missed potential. The two evil teams are the Dark Organizationand Team Earth. The former appears at first to be bent on taking control ofHevah, while Team Earth is similar in concept to Team Plasma. Both are good inconcept, but could have been fleshed out a little more. More background andbuildup should have been given to all of these characters and their motives,but they fall short.

Thegame also introduces story-branching, which allows you to join the PokemonRangers (basically the Hevah equivalent of cops), or Team Earth. There’s also aneutral route that lets you ignore them both and collect the rest of theElemental Symbols… but the end of the game turns out the same no matter what routeyou take! The only difference is that each route gets its own specificlegendary. Again, this is massive missed potential. Both the good and the evilroutes should have been longer, with more character development for theprotagonist (who is not completely silent and has occasional monologues). Thebranch between plotlines should have also been smoothened a little; one of theroutes has the protagonist basically doing a 180 on their prior personality fora little while. The ending also feels like it was rushed; the main villainshould have been given MUCH more exposition than what is presented in game. Ifit’s one thing I can give the game credit for, however, it’s that the story iscertainly darker than typical Pokemon game. And don’t get me wrong, the story’sstill much better than what Nintendo can make nowadays… it’s just got unusedpotential due to the concepts used.

Gameplay

Pokemon Ruby Destiny 3

Nice Dino-Dragon you got there.

LikeI said earlier, the hack brings you to a new region with new characters andmore recent Pokemon implemented. Pokemon from Generations 4 and 5 have beenadded, and work similarly to how they were in their respective games. However,some Pokemon have been hampered by the fact that Generation 3 predated thePhysical/Special Split (in which the offensive stat used by an attack nowdepended on the attack itself, rather than the type it was). Luxray inparticular was hit somewhat hard; its STAB attacks don’t utilize its strongerPhysical Attack stat because they’re Electric type.

Structurally,the game is still very similar to the official games. You collect badges(symbols in this game) and fight against the evil teams in the region. However,due to plot reasons, you’re forced to backtrack. A LOT. And you don’t haveaccess to Fly until near the end of the game. The running around gets tediousand adds unnecessary time to the game. The hacker of this game should havereprogrammed the badge mechanics to allow you to use Fly earlier in the game tocut out the backtracking. Fortunately, LoG implements these triangle-likestones into the game that you can talk to get a hint as to where to go next;you’ll rarely (if ever) get lost.

Alsonew to this hack is the high difficulty curve. Because LoG was meant to be thelast game in the Ruby Destiny series (it’s not now that a new game by the nameof Broken Timelines is being developed), it was made much harder as a result.Throughout the game, you’re given barely any money from trainer battles, so youcan’t use healing items for the early part of the game. All this encourages isbacktracking to Pokemon Centers since they’re free, or excessive grinding toensure you won’t need those healing items. On top of that, the levels oftrainer Pokemon are higher, and the AI is smarter. By smarter, I mean justabout everyone SPAMS Double Team. And once you’re floundering around helplesslyunable to hit your foe, they’ll buff themselves and sweep your team withimpunity. It’s annoying, and it’s not real difficulty. There are certainly waysto make the game harder so players get more strategic… but Double Team spam andsheer outleveling are not those ways.

Speakingof the level curve, the jump at end of the game is RIDICULOUS. Your Pokemonshould, on average, be in the high 40’s to early 50’s. The final bosses? Alllevel 80. Unless you want to grindfor a good few hours, you better have something that can bypass this“challenge” completely (coughcoughLaprascoughcough). This game also doesn’t usethe traditional Elite Four setup. Instead, you’re forced to fight 17 Masters,one for each type. Their Pokemon are just as high-leveled, but thankfully,you’re allowed to challenge them in any order and there’s a nurse in the centerof the area that will heal your Pokemon a maximum of 3 times.

Whilethe gameplay has its issues, the region is certainly more open ended andencourages exploration. There’s also a lot of legendary Pokemon to catch, sidequests to take on, and if you're so inclined, seeing the alternate story paths is still interesting enough to warrant another playthrough. The post-game has its own storyline, which isalready far better than what the official titles have come up with.

Graphicsand other Technical Aspects

...Ok...? Kinda freaky and cool at the same time.

LoGmainly uses assets from Ruby and Sapphire. While this is fine for the mostpart, other hackers have gone out of their way to implement assets from futuregames into their own hacks, making LoG look a little outdated. The sprites fromGen 4 and 5 Pokemon were implemented quite well, and most of the Fakemon lookgood.

Thehack also implemented features that weren’t in Ruby and Sapphire, which I findquite impressive. There’s a part of the region with snow, and since it’s socold there, you’re forced to find a scarf to stay warm or else you’ll berandomly frozen when you walk through patches of grass. The sidequestsimplemented are simple, but were also something absent from mainline Pokemongames.

Pokemon Omega Ruby Legendaries

Onthe other hand, there are various grammatical errors throughout the game’sscript. While it’s something I can’t really fault the creators for since it’s ahack and not an official Pokemon game, the errors still bother me a little.

Music

Mostof LoG’s soundtrack was taken from other games. Admittedly, they did a verygood job remixing some of the songs used into a GBA format. We have songs likeSimple and Clean from the Kingdom Hearts series, Lost Woods from Ocarina ofTime, and the victory theme from Chrono Cross.

Length

Thegame’s length can vary quite a bit. I clocked in 30 hours by the end of thegame, but a good chunk of that time was spent grinding using the speed upfeature in VisualBoy Advance. There’s quite a bit to do, so it should still belonger than an official Pokemon game either way.

Verdict:7.8/10
