I didn't finish the game yet but I've had it for awhile. I think it's fun with some caveats. It has a really enticing visual style that reminds me of games like Megaman Legends, with just a skosh more definition to everything. Its origins as a psp game is apparent but I think it still looks quite nice, and scales up well. The animations are stiff in a classically hand animated sort of way but they put a lot of effort into silly visual gags. There are some interesting setting details and a lot of incidental dialogue depending on where you are in the story. Your hub area is very small so it's no big task to go around canvassing monsters (which you often need to do to progress anyways which, eh) and I think I prefer this to a big town of faceless npcs with absolutely nothing interesting to say which is a staple of a lot of Japanese games. The voice acting is what most people might describe as amateurish but I like it a lot. The deliveries are silly and I like the voices they chose for ...
