Underestimated RPG
First impression I got of the game was 'old pc rpgs'. It's basically an fps view with hack n slash with a hard to reach quick item slots and useless spells. You will 90% of the game just be doing the same attack movements over and over again on all the enemies. But yet it fits to my liking precisely. Im having tons of fun exploring (in the beginning very linear world) and killing monsters. You will not be killing the same monsters over and over again for endless hours. So encountering a new enemy rather quickly as you do here, gives a nice fresh feeling to it rather than killing the same slime over and over again.
As for game play, it has the same movement as 'doom'. You won't be able to have the fully 3d view such as you would have in a game like mph. The controllers are a bit 'muddy', as it will 'stick' and acceleration of the char is not the best. But it works. As for attacks, you are able to perform different sword attacks depending on your char movement or stylus movement. But you won't even care about that after the first 10min as you will just hack hack hack everything mostly doing the same movement over and over again.
There is a shield and well... you will most likely never use it more than a few times during the entire game and just be doing random dodge moves instead. Spell casting might be similiar to a game like lost magic you would think, as you will have to draw a particular pattern to perform a spell. But it is really ineffective to change to spells, draw the spell and then click on attack to actually perform the spell during a attack. So spells is pretty much out of the question as well other than for opening doors,defense spells and healing.
It may sound more negative than positive in the end, but really. It's basic but lots of fun.
Not much to say about the music, it's wonderful and composed by the same that did chrono trigger. It has it's weak points but overall wonderful and fits the game nicely.
As final, I would def recommend this to people that did enjoy oldstyle pc rpgs and is open minded. It even get's better after about an hour into the game and really now. Don't let those other reviews intimidate you. Im from the old pc rpg era and i've played alot worse games than this. This will def keep you entertained if you want it to.
