True hidden gem. First off I gotta say, while the gameplay is much better than Tail Concerto's in the sense that the controls work and it won't mess you up due to poor sensitivy or clunkiness... it still is very mindless and repetitive. There's an attempt to have some sort of in depth combat system in this, allowing you to customize your robot with different upgrades that fit in slots that you must unlock and each improving certain stats, but it never feels supper necessary to keep upgrading because the combat is just mashing A and then jumping to press A again.

With that said, I'm still glad I saw this game through. Just as with Tail Concerto, the entire thing is saved by its world and characters. Great artwork, music, and worldbuilding with way more development than Tail Concerto gives us a great peek into this world. The story actually developed in ways I wasn't expecting, which was amazing. This game is clearly a passion project for CyberConnect2 and it's a shame that they can't get the chance at a sequel or remake that could improve its lackluster gameplay. Still, worth checking out for anyone looking for a hidden gem on the DS, or furry fans.

Where's the anime though?
