The verdict
A flashy, fast anime action RPG with distinct characters and great boss fights, backed by a Monster Hunter-style endgame grind. Skip it if you want a story-driven JRPG or hate RNG grinding.
Great for
Fans of Monster Hunter-style boss grinding, build-crafting and co-op with friends
Main risk
The endgame is a repetitive, RNG-heavy grind with reskinned bosses and a thin story
What changed in the last 30 days
63 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews mostly cite the endgame grind, weak story and thin content for the price. Older ones add the post-DLC -1_C online error and character nerfs. Reasons are only moderately clear.
