The story and the designs are flawless. Honestly i was expecting a lot from this game. However it sells itself as a hack and slash, but you don't get to actually hack and slash. Your SP doesn't recover, and the game tries to prevent you from getting into actual combat. So far the game goes as this: walk around. See an enemy, and the battle is over in a few hits. Or it throws so many waves at you that it drains your HP and SP then throws you into an inescapable boss.
It tries to keep the sneaking type of game play in a hack and slash and it just doesn't work. Get rid of the ambush feature and actually let the players fight without making it to where when they do get to fight, they have nothing to recover their abilities. Yes, while walking around in the begining of the game, the literal tutorial, there are no items you find that can help you recover SP which you need to fight. Love persona, hate their take on hack and slash. Let players play in a way that's actually gonna let people play.
