Presentation
The visual design, polish, and detail is nothing short of amazing. The story may go over people’s heads, backtracking hurts an otherwise awesome pace, but all-in-all it’s impressive. |

Graphics
Simply breathtaking. You’ll get some repeating backdrops, but the sheer amount of beautiful content is staggering. It’s a true 2D masterpiece. |

Sound
Some players may be turned off by the Japanese voice acting, but the blend of VO, music, and audio design is truly impressive. Simply beautiful. |

Gameplay
The game is extremely formulaic, and the visuals truly do push the adventure where more variation could have. Still, the action is fast and fun, and the RPG-lite feel adds to the package. |

Lasting Appeal
If you’re a fan of the combat and are out to collect all 108 blades there’s well over 20 hours of gaming here. Backtracking and fixed progression through the story could cut it short for some. |
