At the time of this review i have played the story mode 4 times without increasing the difficulty.

Pros:
-Character Customization has a crazy amount of stuff you can do, but has slight limitations to body proportions. Taking an hour to go through customization isn't a exaggeration. Plenty of waifus/husbandos you can make if that's your thing.
-Interesting world and setting.
-Unique abilities and combat system. You aren't tied to a single "class", so you can play multiple playstyles.
-Frequent updates. game fixes, balances, and content updates.

Cons:
-No pvp. i feel like pvp is needed for the longevity of games like this.
-Some co-op things need to be changed, which they will likely fix. (i'm looking at you, marks of honor)
-story mode felt a bit short imo, without upping the difficulty it took me about 7 hours on my first playthough and 5.5 hours on my second with a slight power increase.
-story had a lot of cheesy melodrama, and i wish the backstories were more fleshed out.
-certain parts of the combat/ability system aren't intuitive, such as weapon/blood veil scaling and proficiency.

Summary:
A souls-like game with an anime twist. Amazing character customization and anime style sets it apart from similar games. The ability system is unique and varied, but isn't the easiest to understand at first. The World and setting are very interesting, however parts of the story are somewhat lacking.

Overall: 7/10
Would recommend this game, but $60 is a bit pricey for the current amount of content
