Recente recensies door Chris P

The game has a surprisingly well-balanced mechanics which most of turn-based tactics fails. The system has its ways to avoid cheesing enemies such as stagger limit and resistances as well as undelayable attacks from the enemies. Soundtrack in this game did not fail to deliver. The rougelike element can hit or miss for other players but I enjoyed planning on how to get all the vital resources in the limited turns that the game offers you.

as a turn-based tactics game however, it limits the creativity of the players on how to approach the game. Most of the time, the team composition would have a delayer, damage dealer, and a tank. with this comp, you can defeat the game easily multiple times. Team composition will also be primarily dictated by your 3 choices at the start since the other 2 recruitables are heavily impacted by RNG. Equipment, devices and implants are just boosts in characters and are often used as stat sticks as there are no equipment in the game that changes the play style of a particular character. The game also suffers from lack of enemy variety and redundancy of enemy design. Often, enemies have a repetitive move sets. primary damage, AOE, counters, and regens. There are no enemies that surprised me with their mechanics and for this reason, I was severely underwhelmed by the difficulty of the game (I have beaten the game 3 times and currently on my Entropy 1 Difficulty playthrough). The game offers different approach with the unlockable characters as well as variety when you unlock the progeny. However, the difference between each character's play styles are lacking, making the whole process of unlocking the characters underwhelming and tedious.

Overall, I had fun with the game. It is your typical turn-based rougelike with a pseudo-nemesis system and I look forward to the further games that will be procured by the devs.

TL;DR:
Experience in the game: 5 runs, 3 completes, currently on my Entropy 1 difficulty (5th difficulty) playthrough

Pros
-Good battle system, avoids cheesy gameplay
-variety of characters is abundant, can entertain different compositions
-Good soundtrack
-Limited time through planets gives extra challenge for players

Cons
-Lack of enemy variety/ Enemies often does not have unique mechanics
-Difficulty of game is underwhelming and can be finished by using an almost dysfunctional team
-Rougelike elements often offers stat buff and does not encourage players to change playstyles
-Final Team Composition is heavily influenced by RNG
-Difficulty increase is offered, but fail to make the game difficult in itself (usually a % increase in enemies' stats)

7/10 good gaem

pretty meh

Game made me felt smarter than I actually am. good time with my friend though it felt like a team building exercise in the beginning.

Dude this game is so good and the community is loving it.

Surely they will develop a series of games after this masterpiece right?

....right???

EDIT: THEY ACTUALLY DID IT AFTER 10 YEARS

Haven't had the chance to play this one on my PS2 and I was missing out.

The gameplay is Unique and Intuitive even in today's standards and this was a PS2 game btw.

Pros:
Level Design and Platforming held up to today's standards. The bossfights in this game are unique and interactive, reminds me of bosses from Legend of Zelda games. The story/journey was fun and well thought out, it never tries to overcomplicate things as well. Funny and goofy skits are included though half of them did not land/ did not age well and some of them may be downright offensive for other people (mah boi Issun would be canceled in this time and age)

Cons:
Enemy Variety is not that diverse and backtracking in this game is frequent and tedious which dissuaded me from 100% the game. Idk if its because I did not change my settings or it's part of the artstyle, but this game sometimes just decides to blind me like i've been flash on CS:GO or i'm meeting God IRL and the blurs in this game often made me question if i'm high or something.

Sidenote:
I see a lot of complains about the voices in the game to be annoying. however, I felt nostalgic about it since Croc from PS1 had the same thing and I loved it when I was young. But if that's not the case, You can just turn off the voice volume in the settings and the game would be perfectly fine without it.

Good gaem. 9/10

Never been a fan of castlevania games but I really enjoyed the level design of this game and I never felt that the backtracking from level to level to be an issue. Furthermore, it's a metroidvania game with RPG/JRPG elements in it but it never felt grindy throughout my whole playthrough unless you are aiming to get all the shards and leveling them all up. the amount of detail that was put unto the level design, enemy variety and movesets, difficulty, and secrets that are scattered throughout the map is astonishing.

Some nitpicks on the game:
-Enemy models sometimes are repeated with different color but have purely different skill sets/moves.

-The only time I got stuck is in an area where it requires a certain shard to be farmed just to access it. It blurs out the requirement to access certain levels as in the previous areas, it is accessed through key items/shards in the game, not from a random mob

-Difficulty is sometimes ruined by its RPG system for the latter-most part of the game as you can be incredibly Overpowered even for the post game bosses if you put thought into your build which ruined some of the fun for me (though this problem is prominent to almost every JRPG games out there)

My Favorite Metroidvania game so far (and I played hollow knight) though the JRPG elements of this game might scare ppl who complains that gaem bad if they killed the same mob on the same area for more than a single time.

TL;DR: Good gaem 10/10

Story set in the French revolution but they speak chinese and we got some hot anime generals as well. hmmmm

anyway gameplay reminds me of tactics ogre

7/10

songs are 漂亮
