Worth it if its on sale?

Absolutely, played the heck out of the demo on console, bought the PC version earlier tonight, awesome game, IMO.

I say it is worth it during the sale. I bought it a few days ago and the sale price feels like it's actual price so you shouldn't be upset about the money spent.
It's an entertaining little story with alright combat and lots to do. After you get used to the odd commands then you should be having fun with it.

Totally worth it. I have the platinum trophy on ps4+5.

The game will also receive a content patch in march.

Also the "ending" needs a Diofield Cronicle 2 to say it in a spoiler free way.

Not worth it even if you get it for free. Its a waste of time.

I find the cutscenes and banter of the characters fun enough to watch, but the story isn't deep, moving or masterfully written. One of those stories you come up with to slap onto a game because convention demands it. I do like the characters a lot though, every one of them is an edgelord in one way or another.

The studio came up with a competent game that works fine, but EVERYTHING is kept to the bare minimum. You can count the different enemy models on one hand and they always make the same exact sound effects when attacking or dying. This becomes extremely annyoing fast.

The graphics are not "eye-pain inducing", but again very basic. Most rooms don't have any decorations in it, etc - again a sign of trying to make the most barebones function game you can.

The skill trees and weapon progression are equally simplistic. You level up, you choose from one of two available archetypes of the next higher tier of weapon, and that's it. The progression system is there but they didn't add anything to it than the bare minimum of choosing between two options, ever.

If it the game was released by some indie studio for 20-30 bucks it would have been a good game. If you're a person who likes to get stuff on sale, this should only be worth 10-15$ to you.

All in all I'd recommend getting Lost Eidolons instead. Game is more fleshed out than this one in every regard, and much cheaper. If you have enough money, get both.

the problem is new game plus is pointless, you can very very easily get every achievement with minimal effort your first time through. not much replay value because of what the guy above posted, its just bare. It's not bad for roughly 20-30 hours of fun, so deff wait for sale.
