The RWBY ip really did died with the creator and RT was "profiting" off its corpse for years

To begin with, I LOVE RWBY (and Bumbleby), it is the only series I am obsessed with (but I avoid the fandom, it's all about drama every day).

Despite the game having bugs and a kinda bad optimization for weaker machines, it is a very fun game. I repeated the story several times, whether it was either single-player mode or co-op. Each character has their speciality and different attacks, and we can build a loadout around them, with skill points we unlock by levelling up. The combos are satisfying and the game can be hard at certain times, ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE FINAL BOSS.

I gotta also tell y'all that this is a standalone story, although they indeed mention stuff from the main story of the series, so I recommend watching at least the two first volumes to understand it fully, although it is not required. It's too bad it is a short story, I wish they had DLCs to add more stories.

The soundtrack is the same as the series, and the credits contain the full "Lusus Naturae" song (while the menu only has the instrumental), and goddam I always loved that song.

Red like roses
Fills my heads with dreams
And finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That this game has given me

a lot of potential but its just like the most bland shit of all time

I love RWBY, I truly do, So when I saw a hack-and-slash game of the franchise with the characters i loved so much all I got was disappointed. The game feels clunky, lacks variety in enemies and combos, the leveling system is a joke and the online is...well, i'd tell you if I had ever gotten to play it. This franchise deserves a better hack-and-slash on the molds of devil may cry and bayonetta, but for now, this is what we got.

It's cute for what it is, and it does feel like you are inside volume 1 or 2... but the gameplay is just too repetitive. The horde mode is pretty fun but the later waves are just absurdly hard because of how much health the grimm get. Worth getting if you're a RWBY fan and see this on sale, especially because the story is actually canon.
