You'd think the dungeon-crawling JRPG that tries its hardest to have an interesting cast, a creative world, and refreshing gameplay would have fun dungeons, dungeons that use the setting, wonderful characters, and a top quality combat system
That is not this game. This game is, above all else, boring. The dungeons are boring. They don't use the setting. The combat is so mind-numbing and repetitive- along with padded, and its topped off with a story I didn't care about and only a small handful of mildly fun characters sprinkled in. Even the music does nothing for me, where even the lowest end of my megaten experiences have tracks I will come back to.
As a Megaten fan, I am disappointed. As a Soul hackers 1 fan, I am disappointed. But even just as a jrpg fan, I can't help but feel this game didn't warrant my time and energy. The 35 hours I invested into this game felt like it was 100 for all the wrong reasons. Modern Atlus games are not doing much for me, and unfortunately, this was not the one to reel me back in.
