i have never seen this game discussed here. i'm a fan of action rpgs so is this worth playing through?
yes
I liked it but didn't finish it. Think I made it somewhat halfway through.Combat gets repetitive, but I think it's worth a play for a bit, at least.
>>729637648>i have never seen this game discussed here.it was discussed when it came outit was not good
>>729637648I try the demo to see if it’s your thing or not. The cast was really likable and/or entertaining for the most part for me, and the world is neat.
>>729637828why do people call it underrated? it's low budget but all i care about is good combat
>>729637648It was alright. Story felt like it had some silly parts here and there and it ends with obvious sequel bait that they're never going to follow up on. The basic combat feels kinda clunky but the powers are very fun, especially when you get all of them. I only ever played Yuito's route though and I've always seen people say Kasane's gameplay sucks ass.
>>729637896no one calls it underrated, it's just a bad anime game that made the crowd go mild upon its release
bog standard low budget action jrpg with incredibly shallow repetitive gameplayutter garbage and not worth playing unless you just like anime for the sake of liking anime
>>729637648I had a lot of fun with it
>>729637648I always confuse it with Astral Chain and some other red/white anime-looking action RPG. Played it for a few hours, didn't really find it striking, fell off when it wanted me to go on dates with every NPC.
>>729637991im watching a lot of videos on youtube and people say its underrated or just has pretty good combat along with valkyrie elysium, visions of mana, dusk divers... im looking for those under the radar kind of games that don't sell well but are actually pretty good
>>729638109youtube is filled with bots>valkyrie elysium, visions of mana, dusk diversthese are also all bad games
>>729637648It's really comprehensive and a bunch of ideas at once that just never get mastered. It feels like it tried to do a lot, definitely too much without understanding how to do it in a synchronized way. I really wanted to like it but I found myself bored with it. Like getting a really cool Lego set but nothing stands out, despite having all these different bricks.
>>729638143no bots just people with actual opinions. did you play any of them? the game as a whole might not be good but im strictly talking about combat
>>729638206>no bots just people with actual opinionsno, they're botsthere are no real people on youtube stop using it>did you play any of them? yes i played all of them>the game as a whole might not be good but im strictly talking about combatthe game as a whole is bad and strictly combat is also badit's very clunky and you're locked into every animation so if you use your basic telekinesis move you're basically stunned for 10 seconds until the animation is finished and can't do anything, it's both annoying because of that but is also piss easy so it doesn't matter it just feels like shit to playlater bosses become health sponges that take like 15 minutes to kill by just pressing the same buttonyou don't unlock all abilities until you're 60+ hours into the game, every mission you get more and more tutorials, after chapter 1 after chapter 10, after chapter 20, during the final mission you get a new tutorial for a new thing etc.also every level is a linear corridor and they reuse the same environments for 80% of the game so it all looks the same
>>729638075The date shit really was a bummer, and the story, but everything else was solid, specially by 2025 standards. If there's going to be dating, it's a waste of time if the girls don't eventually flirt hard and basically admit to wanting to fuck after the game's events. DeSu2 RB is a good example of riding the line, though some links still suck. The scientist and doctor straddles you, and mc gets makoto's vag in his face. There's not point to a relationship system without proper reward.
>>729637648Yes the game is good and the cast is fun, Arashi best girl
>>729638354okay then give me 5 recent action rpgs that are worth playing? im not planning to criticize i genuinely want to know
>>729638109Try the demo.It has a bunch of good aspects to it but the plot also has a few odd beats that might make you scratch your head.Well worth it if you enjoy the genre.
also Hanabi lost lmao
>>729637648this shit flopped so fucking hard it didn't even get any good goon mods
Oddly enough i found datesim elements annoying, never lettting characters be a real part of the story. The story itself tho was nuts, but just like with god eater the wildness of the setting is underutilized. I want a game that zooms in on weird fantasy cyberpunk bullshit. Like automatic censorship of corspes being installed into eyes? Sick
>>729637648It was fun enough and I liked the aesthetics.The story is fucking insane though with people trying to kill each other and then just sort of casually hanging out inbetween fights and not explaining why they're trying to fucking kill them though.
Combat action is okay but too much non-combat and non-animated exposition
>>729637648I liked the gameplay, enemy designs, and soundtrack. The story is awful though.
the most annoying thing about this game is that you don't truly unlock the potential of combat until the last ~10% of the game, and it's actually fun when you have all the tools available, but by then it's too late
Fireworks love
>>729637648>i have never seen this game discussed here.We had threads at launch mainly due to it coasting off of the hype of Code Vein. Most people thought it was mediocre at best and it was fairly repetitive. I haven't personally played it but I've watched someone I know play a bit of it and it seemed okay but low budget and janky enough that you know you're getting that interim between A and AA budgets.
>>729637648Playing Kasane was a chore. Not to mention all of this was literally her fault for not explaining was not helping in any way.
>>729637648Good ARPG. The story is a bit crazy.
>>729638476She looks like a child
>>729639752It's way better than Code Vein, though.
>>729638487>recentI got nothing
>>729637648Entirely mediocre and forgettable, I genuinely could not tell you a damn thing about the games combat or story. Complete blank.
>>729640182Forgot to mention that I don't remember hating/disliking it at least, which counts for a lot. Fuck you Tales of Arise.
>>729637648enjoy wasting your money fag. couldn't be me.
>>729637648It's pretty good. If you want to play both Mc's sides then play Yuito first.
>>729640182Should I get this game? It's on sale. Oh wait- who am I fucking kidding I HAVEN'T PLAYED ANYTHING FROM THE DISCOUNTED GAMES I BOUGHT HAHAHAHA
>>729637648Combat only gets fun towards the end when you unlock all the powers
I've almost bought it several times when it's been under $5 on steam, but the gameplay looks like cheap ass
median /v/ poster herei think baki sucks
>>729637648It was my favorite game the year it came out. Really enjoyable combat with a lot going on. The story is hit or miss but the gameplay is there for sure.
>>729638524Hanabi won my heart.
>>729640485Get back here dumbass, I know you thought this was Code Vein
>>729637648The action gets good halfway through once you get your abilities. It's okay at best before that.The story is irredeemably shit though.
>>729637648if you're edgy enough to not be automatically put off from this game from story/aesthetic alone, you should probably just play stranger of paradise instead which is way more fun as an action rpg
Gameplay is okay. Story is.. fine. Characters are okay. In the males campaign at least how they handle the females teammate character chapters are so fucking awfully introduced. "Oh hey, we just tried to kill each other, but wanna go have lunch?""Mmh. Yes, that is that and this is this. Let us have lunch, I am going to pout though."
>>729643297Her heart isn't in the whole "kill him" thing anon. Her half-assing it is the only reason anyone else even pretends to go along with it.
>>729637648it was uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>729643530I understood that, but from the males perspective it still felt retarded. Especially when the game constantly does something drastic for shock value, chapter ends - new character episodes just after shock value moment and then the drastic moment gets explained.
I can fix her
>>729644536The fuck was her problem?
>>729637648The story falls apart when you play the perspective of Kasane first, because all the mystery plot points get revealed to you at the same pace as for the male protag, when there is literally no reason for her not getting told some of those ahead of time. But besides that, don't really get why anons itt say she has bad gameplay, for me she played just fine. What really got me was, in case you care about such things - Kodama, the character voiced by Aoi Yuuki, has literally no purpose in the entire story. She will occasionally show up for a boss fight and then just disappear from the story without any further mention.
>good music>there's a waifu/husbando for everyone>combat is serviceableIt's no 10/10 but I liked it.
gameplay was so boring and repetitive. Levels are repetitive corridors tooBetter play code vein. same devs
>>729646448Super fast sex with Arashi
>>729637648I liked it but stopped caring about the story by the last 1/4th or so, and never bothered to replay it as the other character. (i picked the autistic girl) pretty bad party bloat like most jrpgs, but it means you get more abilities too so it's not as bad here. arashi collecting apple IIs was cool.its alright/10
But is it fun?
>>729638487Astlibra Revision is the only one that comes to mind for me.
>>729637648It's alright I like the visual aesthetic of it and the gameplay is decent but the story is kinda eh
>>729650292Combat is pretty cool but quickly gets repetitive, story is okay, but nothing specialI made the mistake of buying the game full price on release. It's not worth it, but at at least 50% off it's worth a playthrough.
>>729640080*Hebe
>>729637648They make 2 cour anime for this
