I am all for dungeon crawls (when the mood hits, I mean sometimes you just want to kick the crap out of stuff without all those minor irritants like story, plot development or reason).
I am all for Anime.
I am all for RPG's.
I am all for Capcom.
You would think that if you took all four of these things and put them into one product you would produce something that was a no brainer for me.
A Reeses' Peanut Butter Cup of gaming it's not.
Somehow Capcom put all of these things together and forgot one very important ingredient. Fun.
As much as I want to, I can't say too many good things about the game besides it has an interesting visual style and it's doesn't cause actual pain. Other than that it's what I would refer to as an anti-game. It's not something you play, it's something you chore through.
On the flip side, I could fill pages on what is bad about the game. However, I don't have the desire or the motivation to spend anymore time on this than I already have.
Even though there are better ways to pass the time, there are also worse. I didn't hit the "Well it's not getting any better." point for a few hours and prior to that there was some glimmer of enjoyment. So while I can't recommend it as a whole, I also can't say you should stay away from it altogether. You might find some redeeming quality that I wasn't able to. (shrug)
