Brash Games gives it a 7/10:
As an overall experience however, if you're willing to put in the hours to fight through the tedium of the games opening, and overcome to inevitable issues you'll undoubtably uncover, there is a diamond in the rough here: an old-school RPG with unexpected depth and moments of utter genius. It combines tried-and-tested gaming principles with some clever experimentation and truly gob-stopping amounts of content, and if you're part of the audience it caters too, I'm sure you'll happily forge your way through the 200+ hours of epic gaming to be had. If, like me, you're not quite that dedicated, you probably won't get quite that far, but it's still hard not to come to admire the wondrous, if rather flawed, magnum opus that is the Dragon Knight Saga.
While Something Awful hits it with a 9/10:
The game's tone is downright enthusiastic. While Dragon Age had an understated tone that served it well, Dragon Knight Saga goes all out. Instead of hints of gryphons that never appear, you get to see a massive flying fortress right out of the gate - and that's just a glorified bus to get from your training area to the first town. The writing just plain goes for it at all times, whether "it" is humor or excitement or depth, and rarely falls short.
