I really, really wanted this game to be good. I love RWBY and after the recent decent into darkness of season 3 and the upcoming season 4, i am excited as ever for it. But this game is so bad. I can barely call it a game.
I actually got this back in the Early Access days, when it was cheaper, and i can say that since then not much of the game has been improved.
GAMEPLAY
RWBY: Grimm Eclipse is a Co-op 4 person Spectacle Beat 'em up. It has actually a great concept but was made poorly. The game has next to now actual skill needed to win, you just spam the best of like 3 combos to win. There is a counter that doesn't always work, a weird team attack system that actually took me a thrid of my first playthrough to actually figure out and honestly, i found that i could beat the game by spamming one move. The gameplay is not fun, and very repetitive, They throw in Ranks, but it resets your characters level every time you do it so it's honestly not worth it. Not to mention that there is next to now variety in the game.

STORY
There is no story here. Random bad Guy Number 1 is experimenting on grimm, go stop him. That's literally it. And that is so aggravating. RWBY is a well written show, and because this game WAS made by Rooster Teeth, i have to wonder where all those writers went? Did Monty just write the entire story out for them to use, because that's kinda what this game makes me feel like. The characters have no personallity, besides the once in a while one liner or pun or sarcastic comment, which each character only has like 3 of.

GRAPHICS & MUSIC
The games looks are really the only thing that spring to mind about this game thats good. The game is gorgeous and colorful, but is very empty, which kills the awe of it. The music is good, but it's just a bunch of instrumental stuff from the game, which is a little frusterating. I want to hear Red Like Roses lyrics! That's some of the best part of the song

OVERALL: Really this game is mediocre at best and give me an impression of no effort, or they wanted it out as soon as possible. Honestly this game feels the same as it was in Early Access and thats what bothers me. It feels like the game is not finished and its so frusterating that it won't ever be properly finished. With the rumors of JNPR being paid DLC i can confidently say, DON'T BUY THIS GAME, for the full price. If you want a short, dumb, mindless grindy game, this is for you, just please, wait for the price tag to lower. This game is no worth $25.
