Good battle system! Nice art, too.
I can tell the developers are way better at these types of games than I am. :p
The actual combat is fun and easy to learn. This is a proper strategy game with nuance.
The Tactical Mode is a cool addition as well, it highlights how enjoyable the gameplay is
on its own merits. However, the challenge is an acquired taste. It's hard!
I stopped where we battle a certain familiar hero and his entourage.
Before that, I barely survived each time. I know of the Assist Mode version,
but since what's presented here is going to be the main difficulty,
I should chip in that it's like the hardest setting of an already hard game!
These feel like endgame battles where your character gets creamed in two hits.
Enemies can heal, counter and do other nasty tricks while your moveset is limited.
The game does not care if you are, as 2004 would say, a n00b.
One wrong move and the enemy will flex you out and call your bike lame.
TOTAL PLAYTIME: 30+ MINUTES (Double that if you include losses.)
FINAL VERDICT: My bike's not lame! Your bike is just super awesome!
