WIN! I'm enjoying this game. The writing is amateur and non-serious, and I find myself smiling and even laughing out-loud when I read some of the dialog between the characters, so win for that. Not everything needs to be super-serious. I can tell there's a story in there, as the creators use classic, and cheesy, anime-style "internal dialogues" to heighten the drama surrounding certain characters and events.

Combat feels FAST, most of the time. There are a few abilities, like "BIte", that have exhibit a delay I find undesirable. But those delayed-abilities are few. Did I mention lots of abilities? If you're familiar with the original Phantasy Star series, you'll enjoy the differentiation between "magic" and "techniques". Awesome spell-effects? Sort-of. Some are pretty "WOW", others are "meh", and some I find "funny". The names of the abilities are definitely tongue-in-cheek, and in a way I very much appreciate the willingness to digress from the standard "fire, ice, lightning" (but there is a lightning spell).

The combat system is complex; attacks, techniques, magic, limit-breaks, formations, trust-charges, etc. I just got my first trust-charge and WHOA, freaking awesome. The creators definitely put effort into making combat fun and fast. I feel encouraged to spam my techniques and magic.

The game is very, very friendly, too. Save anywhere. If your party wipes, you can retry the battle that you wiped on; hello, awesome?! If you win a battle, but lose one-or-more party-members, when the battle is over, those party-members are still alive, with 1 HP. THANK YOU!

If you find a pentagram that heals you, you can use it endlessly, and walk around in its vicinity blowing ♥♥♥♥ up with your magic and techniques. Did I mention auto-combat? Hello!

Also, anime boobies.

If you're a fan of the original FF-series, Phantasy Star, etc., and can get along with the non-serious dialogue, I think you'll enjoy Asdivine Hearts.
