Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 THE GOOD A unique historical-fantasy setting rendered beautifully through strong art design Over-the-top melodrama makes for a story and characters that grow on you as the game progresses Distinct presentation style and episodic storytelling make it really feel like you're playing an anime series THE BAD Not enough areas to explore to fully appreciate the setting Some elements may be confusing for those with no prior experience with the series Combat is only passable and unengaging Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Its basically a dating visual novel more than anything else, I doubt its going to get much praise from the press. Ill give it a shot though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Delita 698 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Shame. The one on ps2 was good but from what I understand it’s not even a strategy rpg anymore and is an action adventure game now. Idk wtf they were thinking Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sabo 448 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Who the hell actually trust game "journalists" these days? I trust the opinions of gamers far more. Of course I usually have to wait a couple weeks for the honey moon period to be over before you start seeing people being more objective.

Mr. House 3,371 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Im playing it right now and its really good if you are into visual novels with dialogues choices and romances. The gameplay part with the robots is the worst thing about the game though, its pretty forgettable but it fits the narrative so its alright. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I've heard it pretty much as close to being an anime in video game form as anything before it. I'll pick this up for $30 down the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a visual novel and a srpg in one. Since it’s from Sega, it served as the inspiration for valkyria but I’m reading this is no longer an srpg. That’s disappointing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s disappointing It has a similar setting to Valkyria so I can see where the inspiration comes from. Yeah well, the game is all about the story and characters, the gameplay is merely there as a diversion and I dont mind. All I care about is raising my relationship levels and seeing th story unfold more. Some of the scenes were just fantastic. lol Im liking it as it is, I guess. At least the hack n slash doesnt come in the way of the story, Im not sure Id like it more as a hardcore SRPG type game, tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
