More entertaining than I expected.
So, I get into my first battle (the tutorial) and they're explaining so much I'm almost overwhelmed. But all it took a bit of getting used to; the battle system of "hit the buttons when they pass through the window to attack" is actually pretty fun. Just don't mess up too much, or you'll be in for a world of hurt.
Monsters don't regenerate, so overpowering you party is impossible. But who would want to go though the game like that anyways?
If you want to find a game that doesn't just play the same as nearly any other, I highly recomend this title.
