 +| So far I like it, but probably not enough to bother buying it. I particularly like the graphics, look both like early 3-D renders and [[Mega Drive]] sprites, really vibrant. Stage design reminds me a bit of the latest //Kirby// game. The combination of moves hasn't really gelled together for me, and though I kinda like the idea of how combat works, how you have to get overwhelmed to take a hit, it's mostly just spinning the joystick around, which always makes me feel a bit anxious, like I'm killing my controller, especially now these things are so expensive. ||

 | I bought this because I thought it would be like //[[Picross 3D]]//, but it's less a logic puzzle and more about being able to visualise a shape in three dimensions. You can only rotate the object around one axis, which is a bit fiddley. || | I bought this because I thought it would be like //[[Picross 3D]]//, but it's less a logic puzzle and more about being able to visualise a shape in three dimensions.

 +| Haven't finished the demo yet. So fair it's okay, but more like a visual novel with a kinda-interesting JRPG battle system put in. Demo story is fun, at least. ||

 | Tactics game where you play through various //Gundam// storylines, similar to the //[[super_robot_wars_series|Super Robot Wars]]// games. It's kinda fun: there's a bit of depth to how you position units because of different kinds of //support// attacks. Demo was Japanese, but had English text. || | Tactics game where you play through various //Gundam// storylines, similar to the //[[super_robot_wars_series|Super Robot Wars]]// games.

 | I don't like this much at all! Initial impressions were okay: game seems to want to take after //[[ico]]// in tone, but quickly just reveals it's purely a fetch-quest driven thing. The world, apart from a few filler/clone buildings is pretty nice, but the way you interact with it is tedious. You do basic, //Assassin's Creed// like building climbing, grab a thing, then look for some other doodad to find.\\ Also the boat is no fun to control, and pivots at the wrong point! || | I don't like this much at all!
