Release Date: November 1, 2011 NA

 

Summary:

First I will clarify that I do not like the anime series, watched the first 6 episodes and bore me to death. But this game is fun nevertheless, it's not a great JRPGbut it's a nice one and it greats for the get-go.

You can choose being a boy or a girl who awakens in a world with no memories of his/her past, you can choose a servant (a human character which fight for you) from 3 different ones. The basically revolvesaround gathering clues of your past and advancing the story spending weeks in-game be it talking with your servants or to other people.

At the end of each day, you go to the arena: A dungeon that lets you to train your servant and raise his stats. The battle syste is simple and fun

is basically a turn based Rock-Paper-Scissors; you have three options : "Attack" ,"Break" & "Guard". Attack wins Break, Break wins Guard, and Guard wins Attack.

At the beginning of the turn you choose up to 6 moves, and if you let 3 attacks consecutevely you gain a bonus attack that cannot be countered.

 

Overall the game is pretty fun, the story is so-so but i like the rpg elements and the capacity of gathering clues and talk to the people to watch scenes of advance the story. It reminds mea little of Persona 3, which is always good.
