yo , Blitz kun how is Device Reign?
Well I was hoping it would be more like most StratRPGs... little in the way of decision making, high in gameplay. Although it does have a complex battle system (I say, the more complex, the better), but it's a bit too heavy on text to find out how it works.
For each character, you basically order gems around on a grid and I believe that determines their stats. A bit difficult since all gem descriptions are in Japanese.
Also, the game isn't just strategy... there's a fair deal of graphic adventure mixed in, which means loads of Japanese text and decisions along the way. I'm desperate for a FAQ.
On the other hand, graphics and character designs are very well done... the opening cinema is excellent, though I wish I could say the same for the rest of the FMV. Poorly animated, and in some cases, just poorly drawn.
If you can speak/read Japanese, this looks like a very worthy title... though if you don't know what the hell is being said to you (like me), I would say that trying to play just becomes a frustrating ordeal.
FAQ anyone?
