at least in terms of combat mechanics, this arguably does "what if PlatinumGames developed an ARPG" better than NieR Automata did, and that game was actually developed by Platinum.

lacking in level design and enemy variety, and the story is a lot of convoluted anime nonsense, but the flashy, character-action-inspired combat is incredibly fun all the way through and really carries the game. Also enjoyed the hideout interludes and bond episodes as a way of breaking up the pacing, even if there are a few too many of them by the end.

(note: I only played through Yuito's campaign, since I had had my fill of the gameplay at that point and didn't really feel a need to fill in the gaps in the story)
