I've been playing this game on and off since the very first release on the 360 in 2012. I have fond memories of that summer and how excited the game would get me every time its intro played. Picked up Dark Arisen and had fun with that too. Yet for whatever reason, I had never completed it in full until this year. Maybe its unfinished and scrappily made world held me back from doing so but I'm so glad I finally got round to it.
You'll be hard pressed to find an open world game that has combat as fun as this. Itsuno has such a knack for blending fun combat into worlds that somehow maintain intrigue despite feeling barebones due to budget constraints. The game is full of flaws, lacking enemy variety and general content. But what's there is such a diamond in the rough. It's a dirt cheap game with a highly anticipated sequel. You'll be doing a disservice to yourself to not at least give it a go.
