It's a fact I didn't start this franchise with the right game (Ys Chronicles for the DS) and while I can see why some fans are nostalgic about the "bumping" combat, the one here feels smooth as hell. My only complaint is the lazy port to PC, bassically straight from the PSP with a messed up controller input. Even with that the game is quite fun and easy to get addicted to.

Boomer First Person Shooters, 2.5 retro jrpgs, ps1 retro survival horror. Developers and consumers are all chasing that mythical high we think gaming reached 25-30 years ago. Before loot boxes, dumb politics and scripted gameplay. Huntdown offers a slice of that retro heaven with a modern approach. No gimmicks, no bs, just a true hardcore run n shoot package. It hits the mark and then some more...

Maybe I'm playing the wrong Tales games? I keep finding the combat mind numbingly tedious, where all you have to do is keep mashing the attack button senseless. The characters could not be more one dimensional and the overall world just hardly interesting. The very fabric of this game screams "generic anime jrpg". Like with Symphonia I have little to no motivation to keep going...

I still have no idea if I'm playing this correctly or not. I'm going for the japanese version right now and it's never 100% clear what can and can't harm you. Charming for sure, a kusoge that is worth a shot. The american version is crazy expensive, so this is a perfect option for those who don't want to give money to ebay scalpels that horde all the copies of the game.
