Cant decide on if this game deserves a 2 or a 3 star rating but definitely no higher than a 3. It looked really fun at first. It wasn't until I was hours into it when I realized this game was not for me. I can definitely see the appeal. It's an anime style story rpg game with excellent visuals. But for me that's where the joy stops. Now I do love my fair share of rpg games, but I think that only hardcore rpg gamers will like this game. The battle system mechanics are very clunky, the story is so-so, and the entire game feels like a tutorial. The game's "how to" dialogue got old very quickly. At the point in game where you learn to evolve your familiars, there is a dialogue segment that seemingly admits to the tutorial beatdown. The final nail in the coffin for me was the difficulty swings. I'm no stranger to difficulty swings of rpg games, but it just seems odd since I cant help but think this game is geared for kids 10 and under. The story is a bit too child-like for an adult to fully enjoy. Anyway, the boss at the volcano was extremely hard. At that point you're too far away to get supplies. I eventually turned the difficulty level down to easy and even then it took a few tries. And I cant help but think they ripped off pokemon a little bit.
