This was actually one of my favorite games of 2017. Played mostly solo did some co-op with friends. Over-all great gameplay, visuals, music was.. okay. The JP VA cast is excellent (Especially Rie as Healix). The story is all-ages fantasy JRPG so don't expect it to keep you on the edge of your seat but it's enjoyable enough with fun characters.

>Gameplay
This is what shines - Plenty of variety and the right direction for musou in my opinion. More depth than your average musou while keeping that fast paced action and impactful feel on the tide of battle.

>Co-Op
Japanese devs are always a hit or miss with co-op. This one really clunks up the experience but if you and your friends have some patience the co-op post-game missions are definitely worth doing. Even at 99 with most of the best in slot gear we couldn't 3man the harder dragon lord fights. 1 man down is just too much! Last few fights in Co-Op post game content require you bring your A-game in heavily scripted multi-phase, multi-1shot mechanic boss fights with no room for error. Didn't expect to find that in this kind of game, very pleased it was there.

>Visuals, performance & port quality
Looks great runs butter smooth on a wide range of higher end systems I tried it on. Very few crashes and maintained good performance across the board at 1080p except for a few odd quirks....
-FPS in ultis is locked to 30 which causes massive frame timing issues for a moment as the game switches from cutscene to real time.
-Controller must be connected before launching - controller will not be detected if disconnected during play. Relaunch required to reconnect controller
-Atrocious KB/M support
-Terrible performance at 4k60fps on 6700k/5930k + 1080 Ti


Over-all fun game, good open world design to explore / fight your way thru. Would definitely suggest picking this up if you're into musou/ARPGs and want some silly DQ style fun.
