Recently got hold of this RPG from Monolith soft, exclusively for new 3DS. I was sort of aware its a remake of sorts from a late era Wii game along with Last Remnant, and maybe something else I've forgotten, Essentially its a hardcore RPG for a system that mainly has horse poking simulators and mini game selections. But this time is been ported to New 3DS
One of the nicest things about this is that its entirely voiced in English. That is proper English accents, no yanks here to ruin it. Some of the voices, mind, are a little strange if you're a native. They vary from stage school kids trying to sound tough, to pure council accents. Seriously there is one NPC bird earlier on that I swear, could be from work, she's that common.
Other times its more like Harry Potter kids doing the lines, so a bit of Daniel Radcliffe or maybe someone who sounds a lot like him. I shouldn't nitpick mind as they really are the good bits here.
It's just that you continually add bits to the dialogue, MST3K style.
Combat is a little weird, no continual attack and you have to target everything manually before going in and beating the shit out of it. It works if there is a bunch of you, but not so well, solo.
Which brings us to the graphics on this. Can see why this needs the extra grunt of the New 3DS as the whole game with its open world layout and draw distance reminds me of PSP games, cough Zill Oll cough. With pretty good frame rates as well.
You play as Shulk a tinkerer working at colony 9, you have a hero's sword called the Monardo blade and you have an ex veteran as a boss who looks a lot like Hulk Hogan - Shulk Hogan- and the swords original owner, who is now a bedridden cripple after being injured taking out a billion robot badguys, oh yes there is a war on.
You also get to play as a girl with twin knives (Fiora) too, she seems pretty handy too, though her jumping sound, makes her sound like she's being sick which is off putting. ... and that is as far as I've got. I'm sure the story will carry on from us beating up rabbits and dragonflies outside of town, when Shulk Hogan goes on one of his foraging missions for the army. Will have to write more once we've progressed the plot some. But this is a preliminary 88% so far.
