It's about time we got a demo of it. I created a Japanese account just to download this, only to be greeted by the news that it was one of the first games that trick wouldn't work on.
Any game with Hitler commanding legions of the undead is okay by me. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Apparently Atlus decided to be nice and give us the demo early. Has anyone else given it a try yet?
It seems to have quite a few issues, but very promising once you get used to it. The camera was a complete pain in the ass, and the battlefield was so massive that it was difficult to keep track of where the enemies were. Not to mention it took 3-4 turns just to move my squad of 11 people within attack range, which was more than a little tedious. My major issue with it was the whole instant game over if ____ dies condition. I've always hated that in strategy games, and at least in this battle it applies to half your squad. I ended up losing after around 30 minutes because two tanks showed up out of nowhere right next to where I'd left Gallant, and one blasted him for 4500~ damage before I had a chance to move him. The demo still managed to be fun despite all of that, so I'm not too disheartened. I can see myself getting very pissed at this game, though. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Did you get past the tanks, at least? I was wondering if there would be yet another wave of reinforcements coming in on the opposite end of the map after that. Those tanks showing up out of nowhere and killing me after all that time spent boxing in the enemy soldiers pissed me off enough that I don't feel like giving the demo a second shot. I'm undecided on whether I'll go for the full game once it's released, but probably not without a nice sale/coupon.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Not to mention the ambiguity of the mission objective. "Annihilate all enemies except for Needle." Simple. Needle never even moved for the first 5-6 turns, so maybe he's supposed to be a spy we're saving. Then out of nowhere he threw a grenade that killed one of my lesser troops in a single hit. I then fired a bazooka at him out of anger, and the mission didn't end or anything despite me killing Needle, so I was left completely clueless as to why we were there.
Sure, that can also be cracked up to the demo being mission #6 in the game, but that was still pretty out of nowhere. I'd like to hope that the full game isn't quite so full of random surprises. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
