Thinking about it now I probably set my expectations too high. I know I shouldn't be that shocked that the video game adaptation of an anime turned out to be Just Alright, but it's still a little disappointing. I thought it would play as nice as it looks but it sadly doesn't. The combat is stiff and barebones which is a shame because there's this rougelike mode that's actually pretty neat, but with how the game felt I didn't want to keep going through it. Other than that another highlight for me was the cutscenes, and I don't mean the slideshow ones that take up more than half of the game, I'm talking about the ones that recreate iconic scenes from the anime. All this for 60 dollars too is crazy, it felt like I was playing a mobile game at times with how it's structured. Although I wouldn't have watched the anime if I never saw the trailers for this so it wasn't all too bad but still, a series as cool as Dai deserves something better than this.
