In a world where $70 games are starting to become the norm, RGG Studio gives us a shorter $50 experience to hold us over until Infinite Wealth. However, I spent more time on this 100% than the anticipated sequel that is Spider-Man 2. Between this experience and the even shorter "Kaito Files" DLC for "Lost Judgment," I am on board for more shorter RGG adventures because they've proved they can delivery quality titles of any length.
While the story isn't as grand as a full title, it still gets the job done. It's cool to see what Kiryu was up to and what moves he was making that ties in to the grand scheme of things. I really liked the characters here, whether that be Akame, Hanawa, or Tsurono. One of, if not the best, final boss sequence in this game series. Ending definitely was a tearjerker for me.
Finally we get a Kiryu title that feels good in the Dragon Engine because 6 and Kiwami 2 felt horrible. The Agent style was fun, but I found myself using the classic style a lot more. Typical side stuff, but I do like how the whole Akame Network worked between Stroll n' Patrol/request. I am glad RGG Studio has been keeping a consistent arcade game rotation allowing me to play "Fighting Vipers 2" and "SEGA Racing Classic 2" for the first time. Not too big a fan of the karaoke selection here; wish there was more songs with Akame (bring back Saturday Night Lover!). Coliseum stuff was mad fun, best use of it in the series.
Overall, this is a solid game and well worth the price. The appetizer that is the story and Hawaii demo for Infinite Wealth has me beyond stoked for January and it can't get here soon enough.
