Game's decent enough. I've played worse. The hitboxes are not so big a deal. Wish there was more explanation for what all your abilities do though, since there seems to be no resource or cooldowns, so they all look like they do the same thing except Guard. Even the "basic" slash does as much as a claw. Claw seems to suggest it's best used if the enemy is right about to attack, but I haven't noticed a difference. More likely there's specific enemy weaknesses, as the numbers fluctuate based on what I'm fighting it seems like.
Game is otherwise a bit grindy but the combat system isn't terribly bland. The art is quite nice but doesn't seem to match the fight at all, I'm getting assaulted by some woman when literally all there is are tentacle monsters.
Edit: Okay, the game actually gets a little bit more fun after grinding the north dungeon mobs to about 30. Can take on a lot of tougher stuff then, with longer fights that require you to eventually bust out your heals, which will up your Excitement forcing you to still be cautious. I'm still not understanding the ability list much, seems like there's always something at every level that is just way stronger and the only thing worth using (besides Hurricane aoe).
Also, does anyone know if this game can be uncensored? I swear it looks like I can see a glimpse of *something* down at the groin during certain animations.
