It has its flaws, but actually it's a great RPG.
Pros:
.even though unrealistic, the weapon customization & forging parts was motivating
.the battle system is simply awesome, though it takes a while to fully understand it. it may be irritating and even frustrating at first, but when you get it, it rocks
.character customization is also quite deep and cool
.characters itself are great. You'll get attached to them
.sometimes, the game is absolutely hilarious ;)
.innovative overworld
Cons:
.the dungeon design is quite generic & boring. Maybe the main flaw of the game
.story doesn't play a very big role, but then again, I think that never really was the main focus of the game - even though it's an RPG
.it would have been nice to have more than just 3 weapon types, though it works well that way
.some more lively areas would have been nice. I like the steampunk style but variety's always good
It seems like it fails in some key areas, but actually, the pros largely outweigh the cons - at least for me.
So I'd give it 8.5/10
