First off, the product description isn't too accurate. This game is more like a cross between Pokemon and Earthbound. The RPG and beat-em- up elements are rather light, which I am thankful for as too many RPGs are slowed by lengthy cut-scenes and rambling dialogue. But there are enough choices in combat to require skill and smart tactics to progress. The learning curve is just right and some of the items and upgrades are fun.
Sadly, it feels a bit generic, with the character sprites not changing as you upgrade and the long, repetitive, maze-like levels failing to keep my interest after 10 minutes. There are 69 trophies/achievements which require multiple play-throughs and need you to play the game for an eternity to unlock. Sorry it's just not that much fun. Decent for a single play-through, with okay music, and some pleasing fight scenes, but utterly forgettable soon after. Trading cards also included.
