Starts to grow on you, but too soon it will get repetitive

The story is engaging, gameplay elements such as the capturing folk ids is interesting and fun, but the game falls short on taking full advantage of the concept to make a refreshing and non repetitive game. Graphic is great, story is engaging, game concept is unique and solid, but the folk ids lack variety. This game could have been so much better with the right combination of ids, but in the current state, the different ids are not unique enough. Basically they have their attack type (wind, fire, ice, water, slash, etc) and save for the minor variations such as web, charm, and aoe attacks, they are just the same simple attack with different animations. And once you realize it, the game gets boring.

The story is great at the beginning, but as it progresses, I can't help but get the feeling that it is being dragged out. Folklore is a good game with fresh ideas that falls a little bit short in its implementation.
