Easily Experience's weakest release. It's just too easy, which makes any challenge they put in irritating instead of actually challenging. I beat the last boss without even looking at the screen.

On the flip side, the story - well, the characters at least - was the strongest I've seen in an Experience game yet. As long as they don't make the same series of bad decisions with the battle system in Demon Gaze 2 and their Xbox One projects, I'm expecting their next game to be a triumphant return to form. The battle system and character advancement made me wonder if there was some publisher meddling in there, this being their first game with Bandai Namco. At least all that Kadokawa does is add pointless fanservice scenes...
