Bought Shiren. Figured it was worth a try for that price.
I have Nights Of Azure but have yet to actually play it. Wish I'd waited to buy it now.
It's also getting a PC port but this is Koei, so I'm sure the Steam release will be hot garbage.
Would any of you recommend the Vita games that bork posted? I'm considering Shiren even though I usually get frustrated with those games after a few hours.
Only one I've played out of those games is Sword Art Online Lost Song.
Lost Song, from what I've played, is a fun little action-RPG that has flying mechanics (including combat). Looks and runs pretty nicely on the Vita. You might feel a bit lost (no pun intended) in regards to the story if you've never played the previous SAO game or watched the anime series. But in brief, you're playing as characters who are logged onto a virtual-reality MMORPG and you run/fly around the map killing monsters and exploring dungeons.
I heard that the original SAO was kind of garbage so I skipped that. This game is the second in the series and seems to have gotten mostly average reviews. I think it's worth a try for twenty bucks. One nice thing about Lost Song is that the American version has all the DLC and updates already included-- nothing to download or buy, which is rare for Bandai-Namco.
There's a newer game that recently came out that goes back to the first game's setting (and drops the flying stuff, since the RPG played in that game doesn't have flying) which I will also try out once it drops in price...on PS4, anyway. For whatever reason, the newest SAO runs like ass on Vita. They have been patching it so maybe it will get to a playable state.
Also worth noting in regards to the story is that Sword Art Online started out with the characters playing another MMORPG that was hacked by its creator, trapping them inside the VR world. Death in the game meant death in real life. The characters had to beat the game to get out and were trapped inside the game for two years. So what do they do when they finally get out of VR fantasy hell?
Go play more VR games online.
