Thoroughly annoying, but strangely addicting.

This game was not on a lot of people's radar, but a friend of mine picked it up and lent it too me. I must say with my expectations being low, I was surprise that I spent as much time playing as I did.

The game sets up as an action/rpg hybrid set in the future with ties to mythology . Confused yet? Sometimes you find wishing the game would just make up it's mind; are you a shooter or RPG. The action side of the game is good. The battle scenes, although repetitive, keep things interesting. After a while, you keep fighting the same enemies over and over and it gets to be more of a chore to finish than anything else.

The RPG side of things is a bit underdeveloped and sometimes just annoying. The game is short, just four acts, and should take most players 10-15 hours to finish. In between acts are these debriefing interludes that are more of the RPG side of the game. I could have lived without it.

Unfortunately, the worst aspect of the game is when you die. You are saved by a Valkorye. She descends from the heavens to resurrect you. It takes about 20 seconds to watch and YOU CANT SKIP IT. Annoying.

The overall gameplay is pretty basic and the story is mildly interesting, but a little hard to follow. The boss fights are tough and there are lots of achievements to be had. One playthrough will earn you between 500-700 points depending on whether your looking for them or not.

I know I piled on the game with negative feedback, but there's something about it that pulls you back. Annoying
