Despite the title, Ambition Record doesn't exude a lot of ambition. Developed by Exe-Create, they opted to move to 3D graphics and character models instead of their usual 2D Sprites. I do think the chibi character models are charming as if they came from some kind of 3DS game, but they have very limited animation so that action scenes don't look good at all.

The backgrounds and environment similarly don't look good and extremely dated.

Story is straightforward without any interesting plot twist. Each of the main characters have nice backstories, but as characters, aren't really developed much so they come off as very one-note.

The combat is standard Exe-Create with an okay turn based system. They still make use of the dynamic turn order gauge. The Dragon armor system where a character can transform and gain Dragon armor similar to Legend of Dragoon is probably the standout feature, but it's underutilize. The main gimmick is to use it's super move after transformation and that's probably about it.

Ambition Record does have a similar job system to Exe-Create's other game, Dragon Prana. Although, the jobs here aren't as interesting and if I remember right, less overall.

Budget and presentation is really lacking even for Exe-Create's usual standard. There isn't a world map and every area is selectable from a list. Liege Dragon was very similar in that regards and coincidentally or not, I didn't think of that game highly either.

Overall, a very standard game without much that stood out. The game is quite short though and you can complete all of the main story, the post game and the sidequests in just about 10 hours.
