I...I absolutely don't understand these people that enjoy this game. Let me start from the game beginning.
You got to choice one of 3 classes: Strong Man (physical), Copycat (jack of all trades with ability to steal Bankai) and Trickster (Agility). When you made your choice you appear in a cell of Maggots Nest and start the game. That's where the game will show ABSOLUTELY NO MERCY to new player.
Unless you go down until you hit the bars and go right, moving to the altar statue left side and pressing 'use' to open altar and get Zanpakuto, you will have problems fighting the enemies, not even talking about 2 guards in the lower left side of the Maggots Nest (I fought one after choosing "Whats the catch?"), getting me to the next 2 problems: Save system and NO LVL UP system.
This game doesn't use the traditional Save system (Menu-Save). If you were defeated by one of the enemies (or by the guard if you choose "Whats the Catch?") you get RESET BACK TO THE MAIN MENU.
NO LVL UP system will never give you experience for defeating enemies. The only way you can get better is getting Zanpakutos and other equipment.
It is compensated by relatively easy difficulty, starting from getting outside the Maggots Nest.
Now about other things:
ORIGINALITY: got nothing to say, based on anime.
STORY: also nothing to say.
RENDERS: quality could be better.
