This is one of those instances of "Don't judge a book by its cover." The anime art style isn't quite up my alley, but the feel and depth of the combat system was really surprising when I first played it. It feels somewhere between a linear musou game and Devil May Cry, and switching both weapons AND characters on the fly is such a nice rush. I think Tamsoft really could have made a high caliber game out of this if they had a proper budget, but what they have made is still smooth and highly enjoyable regardless. They really tried to give the player all the difficulty options and tools they would need to tailor their experience to keep multiple playthroughs fun. This is a game designed by guys who are gamers. And, of course, the icing on the cake is that you get to enjoy hot anime chicks while you play.
