Gamespot Review

"The Good

  • Intense, challenging combat
  • Powerful unlockable abilities
  • Thrilling boss fights
  • Bold enemy design.

The Bad

  • Nothing to do aside from fight
  • Verbose, uninteresting story
  • Easy introductory hours last too long"

6.5/10

Anyone interested in this one?

Well they did give NIER 5.5 and that was awesome, though I never quite liked what this looked like.

Isn't this a JRPG? My personal scale for any score given to a JRPG if you are a gamer who enjoys JRPGs, add .5 to the score of an established JRPG franchise and 2.0 to the score of a new JRPG franchise. The vast majority of "mainstream" reviewers are so ignorant as to what actual JRPG fans want and enjoy, it's not even funny.

That's a lot higher than I thought. This game is already considered the worst game of the year in Japan.

Eh, they were kind of dead-on about NIER imo. Love the music in that game, but the gameplay was just boring and waaaay too much pointless backtracking and whatnot.

I don't like bringing up Nier because I know I was in a very special sort of feeling and mood while playing it that only a few people seemed to have felt. I loved the characters, story and music (especially the music) so much, that I felt like the fighting and other mediocre parts were like the trip to the candy store, its not really worth mentioning the walk, but when you reach the candy store (new area with new music and story parts), it was totally worth the walk.

Reading the review, I would of guessed 7-8 to be honest. It seemed like the reviewer really enjoyed the game.

They gave it the "Better than the sum of its parts" and "Sucks you in" good emblems, and the bad emblem is the "Terrible first impression" one, which at least means that it picks up a little later in the game. Also 6.5 isn't that bad of a score. I would say that 6.5 is a mediocre score in the good range, ignoring the bad range.

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I don't think 6.5 is that bad at all, I just think most people wouldn't even think about getting a 6.5 score. As a person who plays button masher games like DW, I was eventually going to get this when it gets cheaper. I have a couple of games that got 6.5 here or lower that I've enjoyed.

I just use a combination of RPGFan and RPGamer for reviews, RPGFan uses a weird scale, but when you get to know it, it makes more sense, usually 60-70% is garbage, 80-85% is decent, 85-90% is good and 90% is great to awesome. RPGamer is typically more strict, so a 4.5 or 5/5 from them is really good. I have NEVER trusted typical game sites for RPG reviews. :P

I didn't like the demo, but I still got it because thegameplaylooks like it has potential. Looks like the review pretty much says that the gameplay is good, that's all I need for a Hack n' Slay

Well it looks like the game is better than the demo, seriously what a horrible demo. Good to know that at least the first impression is not all that there is to say about this game.

System Wars is crazy. 8.5 is to low for major blockbuster gamers and apparently 6.5 is to high for a non hyped game.

Score seems about average. Nearly all the reviews score from 6-7, with the exception of gamepro giving it a 1/5.

I wonder why they go in the trouble making games like that, i mean we have seen so many dynasty warrior games that is not even funny

I will wait for FF13vs and Ni no Kuni myself, than look at random JRPGs like this one or WKC2

Wrong! Ni No Kuno is being developed by Level 5 with Ghibli involved (the same devs that created WKC)
