唐三葬，葬天，葬地，葬苍生
擎天柱地金蝉圣，佛界仙家任纵横。
曾赴雷音兰盆会，七千仙佛相逢迎。
那时酒醉意昏沉，东倒西歪乱逞雄
拳打金刚骨迸裂，脚踢罗汉血喷红
观音普贤心悚惧，玉帝老君胆怕惊
如来佛祖惶惶走，大雄宝殿险险倾
因此天上住不得，且去凡间玩一程
也是生来命太硬，克死亲父遇贼星
母亲放我江流去，江流不沉有神通
一路鱼鳖莫敢害，流到金山得师承
法明掌门亲传授，一十八年武艺成
寻亲报冤手段狠，剜心取肝祭先翁
偶逢擂台设比赛，比武招僧取西经
十万僧中无敌手，九重台上有威风
大唐天子三魂掉，阖朝文武七魄轻
八拜结交奉锡杖，锦斓袈裟送我行
行出长安离东土，遇着美猴孙悟空
双手劈开两界岭，一腿荡平五行峰
拿住齐天孙大圣，养作宠物小精灵
蛇盘山头屠猛虎，鹰愁涧底擒小龙
八戒沙僧都降顺，挑包牵马不敢哼
倒拔千丈人参树，火焚百间观音亭
嗔目超度熊罴命，弹指碾碎白骨形
经得一山剿一山，行过一岭杀一岭
妖魔鬼怪俱杀怕，险山恶岭都踏平
锡杖打开西天路，钢拳灭尽遍地精
尔等眼前全该死，佛爷手下不留生。
你去乾坤四海问一问，我乃历代驰名第一僧

90% of the weapon came pre-nerfed for our convenience. How nice.

Just gotta wait for Warhammer at this point. AH couldnt nerf weapons I love when it's not from them.

Game got better. Finally.

Bandai, this is THE Gundam game we deserved.

Recommended! What a great game!

Store management and Potion brewing x Deck Building Games and Confident management
Brew potion, sell potion, buy better caldron, brew better potions, sell better potions, Profit!
The dev nails the loop perfectly, there are total 5 cycles for the playthrough, every cycle has a new villain, new target and new upgrades for players to go through, it keeps the gameplay fresh throughout.
Similar to Persona 5 but you get cards every level, the characteristic and story for each confidants are very interesting as well, the relationship feels realistic and non-cringy. The "card-battle" haggle is surprisingly well implemented, alot of strategy, different kind of mechanics for different approach, and very rewarding if you did well.
The art direction, animations and art for each card are mindblowingly good.

Few downsides
Potion brewing might be alittle tedious in the late game, took 10mins+ to min-max every session, should have a option to quick-craft potion provided you have the right amount of material.
Buy in bulk should be a thing too, constantly having to click 10+ times for each item is pretty tiring.
Finally, hope there's NewGamePlus/Endless mode in the future, in the current version you kinda have to max everything out in one go, you are not able to keep playing after the ending.

It's like Pokemon, but with Gundams, minus the part where you venture the world.
Other than the spectacular battle animation, to be painfully honest theres not much to offer unless you are really into this genre.
Simply a Gundam power fantasy game, where you enjoy watching your favorite Gundam killing stuff over and over.
It can be A-LOT better in a lot of way, but yeah when it comes to Gundam or Mecha, there's not much option to have don't we?

Mixture of Bloodborne and Hollow Knight, but difficulty is more manageable/easier, and that's perfectly fine.
Tho quality wise its definitely not as refined as Hollow Knight, very noticeable flaws can be seen throughout the game. Cheap, short and sweet.

+Sorrow dark fantasy story (Very Bloodborne-like story, but lite version)
+Beautiful presentation (Atmosphere & Animations)
+Decent combat mechanics (Not as insanely tight/demanding/hard as Hollow Knight)
+Good music
+Decent metroidvania elements, cool skills to collect/upgrade
-No voice acting, most of the interesting story bits are presented through notes/texts
-Some very significant moment got no sound/music all of sudden
-Mini map design is bad

-Main story is almost like a Tier C action movie, the setup is just dull.
-The voice acting(mostly side characters) feels lifeless most of the time
-Shooting a gun feels AWFUL
-Whole climbing thing is unresponsive(acceptable back in TR 2015)
-Side activity is barely acceptable,

Everything is so forgetful. I suggest wait for huge sales (50% or more)

=Review=
+ Turn-based-strategy-game at it's finest
+ Every choice-of-upgrade/action matters a lot to the future gameplay
+ Great atmosphere of alien invasion
+ Enormous content
+ Very satisfying and deep character development system
+ High replayability, good lasting appeal
+ Difficult and fun
- Lack of climax
- Unsatisfying ending
- Stiff camera angle

=Verdict=
Very good and solid strategy game, with huge amount of content, lots to do, lots to kill, lots to upgrades and stuff.

= Rank =
B+

The best side scrolling ARPG I ever played. Challenging boss, addictive gameplay, satisfying progression, lots of collective. It's like combination of DMC(combo), Rockman(map&boss), Maplestory(skill progession) and DotA(stat proggession), worked out PERFECTLY. Unfortunately, the plot is not that thick and there's no diagoue voice, but those are not the main concern afterall. Gamepad is HEAVILY recommended.
P.S The game might be too hard for some casual gamer.

A lot of improvement from Bioshock 1 especially the combat and mechanics. The story is still great, just not as supreme as the first one, but the improved combat did managed to cover up. It's a great game indeed.
