I bought this game<\/a> sometime last year for… whatever reason… and only got to playing it earlier this year.

Basically, what it reminded me most of (despite having a different combat system and little romance) was the Agarest War series<\/a>. An inferior Agarest<\/em> whose character interactions, amazingly enough, somehow come across as cringier than the fanservice in that game. Visually it’s also notably lacking with a bizarre mecha-like aesthetic that’s applied rather inconsistently. I guess it’s supposed to be a post-apocalyptic setting?<\/p>\n

Those issues of course could be forgiven if the gameplay were engaging; it’s not. It is in fact rather boring with not much in the way of either enemy or attack variety. A problem only compounded by the grind necessary to collect ingredient items or quest targets.<\/p>\n

So yeah, this is not a game I can recommended in any respect. Just go play Agarest 2<\/a> or the Neptunia games<\/a> instead. They do the same sorts of thing better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
