Good game, terrible port. It really deserves the "mixed" rating.
I'm "recommending" but with caveats.
You will have to deal with some hassle setting the game up, especially your controller. There's guides in the community hub that might help.

If you like the Dynasty Warriors games, just imagine something like that, repurposed for an action RPG.
It's a pretty good story. There's a small number of characters, but that keeps the story pretty tight. There's not much unnecessary narrative. Also, the missions are typically concise and straight-forward, but I got lost a couple times. Overall, the game seemed pretty easy. I didn't do any extra grinding and still levelled up to 8 easily. The max level is 10. I beat the end boss at level 8 on my first attempt without much problem. There's a couple enemy types that are annoying, but you don't see much of them until the end.

Overall, I liked it. There doesn't feel like there's much to pad out the play time. Except for getting lost a few times and dealing with some bogus enemies, I always fealt like I was moving forward at a decent pace. It took me about 18 hours.
