Great customization, inmersive battle-system, sharp visuals and not as hard as people say...
Graphics: At first you can get a wrong impression about them, due to the bland scenarios and erratic camera control, but when you go through the game, higher monsters appear, some of them being breathtaking. Character models and animations are great also.
Sound: Not much to mention here. There are no voice speech, and background music is just ok.
Gameplay: Here is the highlight of this game. First of all, character customization is superb. You can select race, job, even the name and distribute points to all of the abilities. You can learn skill, set a formation, and give and advanced behaviour to each of your comrades. Battles are in real time. In the movement fase, you can explore dungeons, open switches, use teleportations, but when you come across an enemy, you are sorrounded by a round light that delimite the combat. In that zone you have to fight in real combat against the enemies. Also, you can create and customize your comrades with the same precision you created your main character.
And this is were i can't understand why people complain about the difficulty. The game difficulty depends on how well you managed to create a balanced party were each member has it role. If you create a full party of dwarves, hell, you will kick ass severely, but after a few fights, you will die cuz no one was healing there. Combining effectively fighters, priests, dwarves, thieves... it's what this game is all about, not only your hack'n'slash skill, and that may frustrate many people, including game reviewers ;D
I still had not much troubles playing, cuz since the very beggining i tried to create an equilibrate party, and level it consequently.
The game includes cooperative and competitive gameplay, but unfortunately, i had no choice to test it yet
If you're looking for an interesting and challenging RPG for your psp, get this one as soon as posible. If you want a dumb hack'n'slash action game, better consider other options like Dungeon Siege or Untold Legends.
