Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Healing is achieved by picking up bottles of potion dropped by enemies, a great strategy for the non exploration stages is leaving the potions alone, killing enemies and retreating to the potions location when you need it.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall I think that the combat is fun, but also not very deep.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As per my motto: "If a game isn't fun, what's the point of having amazing visuals?!".
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's some pretty good character customization for each character and all characters except for Famitsu and Dengekiko start with 2-3 different outfit colors & hair colors for their normal and HDD forms, but you gain more weapons and such over time of playing.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fluid Controls - The game plays absolutely smooth especially when you're using a gamepad.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is pretty good, the dialogue and such is entertaining, the music is pretty cool and I like the change of tone when you transform into your HDD mode, and overall the game is quite fun to play.
