This game is really confusing to me. The most obvious confusing element to this game is its story, I have just finished and beaten playing this game with a total of over 5 hours of play time, yet I still have barley a clue on what the story of this game was about. My best interpretation is that its kinda like Evangelion? I mean I like the ascetics and the cheesy voice acting, but it just drops you into this world and explains nothing, with this story going a million miles an hour. Maybe it was explained in thr Japanese manuals, but I’m probably watching a youtube video explaining after I finish writing this. The gameplay though is actually really well thought out for a first stab at a 3D run and gun using the N64 controller. It can be kinda confusing to control a lot of the time, but it isnt overly complicated (not to mention I suck at this game too). But another confusing element is. why was this game fully translated into english dialogue, but only released for a Japanese audience. I can kind of understand that maybe after NOA translated the game, they realized that it would be way to confusing to realize in the west, but then why go through with implementing english speaking VA for the whole game? Overall, I really suck at this game, but I can admit that it holds up really well for a N64 3D run and gun. I am also just intrigued by it and want to know more about its history, because Treasure has always been a pretty big blind spot in my video game history knowledge. I’m really looking forward to trying Star Successor out one day because I feel like that could cure a lot of my gripes with the game.
