l33tmaniac Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Reviews say that the game is good but repetitiveness holds it back from being essential. Opinions anyone? Sent from my HTC One V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razpor Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Anygame like this would essentially be repetitive ,not necessarily a thing i woulf be concerned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM Sunny Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wow so I read like 5-6 reviews & people are completely missing the point of the game.It's like they're blaming their own incompetence on the game.Anyone who has played the demo would know how much strategy & timing is required to beat/solo Cerb(until you get the golems atleast) & then they call the combat shallow To sum it up, lets say this post on gaf covers most of my grieves with the reviews :/ Some of the big sites are commenting how the game suffers from a lack ofin-depth gameplay. Personally, I don't think that's true and here's why(1) The timing of your attacks matters!You need to time your attacks (right before the enemy swipes at you) tounlock "Rewards" that would affect the kind of loot you get at the endof the battle. You can get the following "Rewards" when you time yourattack properlyCounter Achieved... Many Counters... Counter Madness... etc(2) The combination of your attacks/spells matters!There is Elemental Vulnerability in this game which you can choose to chain and exploitBurn the enemy sufficiently... and it'll collapse in Inferno Hell (set ablazed)Freeze the enemy sufficiently... and it'll be stuck in Frozen Hell (frozen in its tracks)Jolt the enemy sufficiently... and it'll be stuck in a Stasis (paralysis)but it does not end there... when you attack them with the right elementin the aforementioned states... you unlock the Skilful Attack RewardSo jolt the enemy when it is in Frozen Hell and you'll see the ice break apart and cause an amazing amount of damage!(3) The kind of spells you use matters!Some reviewers have mentioned it's a button-mashing game. NO! you can'tmash them when you have limited casts (you need to renew them if you runout of casts during battle.. and renewals don't come easily)You can set up a shield to knock a charging enemy. While it's fumbling to get on its feet, steal the chance to get a few hits!You can set up trees that bear fruits (that give power-ups to you/allieswhen consumed) or to distract enemies/bosses as they try to consume it!(4) Where you hit the enemy/boss matters!Is it really a spammy game where you find the best spells and just fireaway? Not necessarily... Other than the elemental vulnerabilitiesexplained earlier, bosses have specific cursed parts (weak points) thatyou can attack and exploit. If you were to destroy all the cursedpoints, you'll notice the enemy showing a difference in its movement(staggering? I noticed this for the Cerberus in the demo). So gettingspells to hit those specific parts matter!(5) To save or to sacrifice, your choice matters!This is probably something that Creator Inafune intended as a focalpoint of the game. Battles can get challenging and the player is forcedto make sacrifices to defeat the bosses. You can choose to engage in theForbidden Arts (Black Rites) that sacrifice a player attribute(defence/attack/speed/sight/etc) to deal tremendous damage to theenemies or hold them in place, etc.Beyond that, when your ally falls, you choose whether to save them (atthe cost of a portion of your health) or sacrifice them to deal aninsane amount of damage to the enemy and lose the ally forever (well atleast for the rest of the battle). When you fall, you make the choicewhether to call for your allies to save or sacrifice you! Thestory/single-player mode plays alot into these as your hard-earned(saved) allies may choose to leave you if you were to sacrifice/savedefeated bosses that is against their alignment --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VelivolusDas Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'd say everyone should give the demo a chance instead of relying on these western reviews.... Like the demo, buy the game.... Don't like the demo, forget the game.... It's one of those *rare* demos that manages to capture the essence of the full-game completely....
