Play it for the sake of the storyline!!
NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF:
What makes the game a lot more thrilling and suspence is the fact that a "Tyrant" (so-called) is chasing you around town trying to kill you. Not to mention the fact he's wielding a rocket launcher!! The only safe haven is for you is to stay in a safe room or in some places. You also have a "choice" feature once in an event where you can change the storyline.
But then again, the thrill is all that it is as well as the "new" stuff. You'll find out how EASY this game truly is. Herbs and First Aid Sprays are everywhere. Bosses aren't that challengeing, once you get the pattern you'll find out a way to beat it that's why it does tend to get boring in awhile but you'll get over it.
If you like, you should try to play the game with only one herb, that should bring the challenge!
