If you want a quick summary: it’s anime the game. Almost everything is voiced, the characters & story are typical, you have robots, the world ending, kids saving the day, the power of friendship, tons of twists and more. It’s well told and I ended up liking the characters despite that style of story telling not being my thing. Also, the Japanese voice actors did an excellent job. The gameplay is the weaker part. There isn’t much there but it’s still basic and mediocre. It also doesn’t help that one hit kills you instantly. There are frequent checkpoints to compensate for that at least. It has some platforming sections with very simple puzzles and fights, including bosses, in between. But the majority of the game is voiced cutscenes. There are some collectibles in the gameplay sections but they’re very easy to spot. Even though the gameplay is the weakest part, I still prefer its inclusion for variety. Being a fan of anime is a strong criteria for liking the game. If you don’t enjoy that style, then the game is not going to change your mind. If you’re fan of the style and genre (the story being the focus), then this is a decent game.
