By virtually every measure, this isn't a very good game, but it's also basically everything I want in a handheld game: an Action RPG with a simple, deliberate combat system and individual levels that take 15-20 minutes to play. The story, character designs, and voice acting are ridiculous and amateurish, but in a way that makes it charming to me.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is a much, much better version of this game, but I can't play that on my PSP/Vita.
