interesting indeed.  Tri-ace are amazingly incompetent despite their technical proficiency. 

1.  Make a demo to show off unique battle system
2.  Drop players straight into battle with no tutorial
3.  ???
4.  Profit?!

I mean I sort of figured out what I was doing by the end, but there was a lot of I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING going on there.

Game at least runs well on PS3.  The jaggies and low-res shadowing are only noticable in cutscenes.  In gameplay it runs locked 30fps and looks fine.  The art style is kinda weird though.  Unless the X360 version looks noticeably better I'll grab it on PS3.

This game is really weird. I haven't been keeping up on any previews or anything so I was kinda surprised at how strange the battle system is. Hell, I beat the demo and I still don't think I knew what I was doing. It's like Reanbull or whatever her name is was the only one who could do some real damage. /shrug

From what I gathered, the blue bar is shield, green bar is health.  Blue guns (red guy) do blue bar damage, Red guns/grenades (brown guy/girl) do green bar damage.

If you get a guy's blue bar down completely he dies in 1 hit to his green bar HP.  I don't think you can finish people with blue attacks.  If you line the people up so they angle in a way that forms a triangle perimeter you hit triangle and then all 3 people will attack.

ummm...that's about all I got from it.

One neat thing is that you can level up during fights. During the demo Reanbell leveled up like 3 times.

Well that was an interesting demo. I didn't know what the hell I was doing but pressing square and x randomly got me far. Looks like it could be fun once I figure out the system.

I also didn't realize the Wizardry PS3 demo was up so I ended up checking that out too. Only made it a few steps into the dungeon before getting slaughtered by some cape wearing pigs wielding hatchets, but from what I saw it seemed like it could be old fashion fun. Probably won't come out here though.

This game is dope as fuck. I was juggling for about 100 hits. But it's a TriAce game I expect some shitty achievements.

:bow SMACKDOWN :bow2

Just played the demo again, I'm liking it more now that I kinda know what I'm doing. As you run by an enemy you can let the meter fill up several times to do stronger attacks... before I was just trying to press X as soon as the circle filled up once and was wondering why I was doing like 4 damage :lol

Yeah you can set up some nice shit. I got the general idea by playing, but I'm sure in english it will be like WOWAWOW

It was pretty ok. Just beat it. Why are they always jumping like distinguished mentally-challenged fellows? Looks cool, I guess...
My max combo was 175 hits. And I was already annoyed by that girl. I hope she gets decent English va.

Yeah, but I think it'll get boring fast. And the battles take way too long to finish.

What I did like were the obstacles (such as walls etc) in the level. Will make for some neat strategic...jumping.
I've never played the other tri-ace rpg's this gen. But I've heard bad things about them. Hope this one will be good.
Will keep my eyes on it.

If you take out the leader it ends the battle and kills all the other enemies.  I'm not sure how you tell who is the leader though, just seemed to happen by accident for me sometimes.

Checked out the 360 version.  Looked the same.  Still ugly but smooth.

i'm honestly shocked at just how terrible the combat is considering that's generally the only area in which tri-fail games excel.

and why do all the characters look like they have wedgies when they move. they also don't have an idle animation.

just another stinker from tri-arse. pass.
