this game sadly was quite the dissappointment.

the legions in the game reminded me a lot of blades from xenoblade chronicles 2, which is why i had high hopes in this game. surely they would explore the legions in a fun way and at some point make you realize that-- you know, you got this living being you are essentially just using as a fighting slave? despite the very serious tone of the game, this didn't come up however. i would've liked for the game to adress that subject but sure, whatever.

sadly the gameplay wasn't much better. it's not really bad, but-- i don't know it never felt satisfying. i let my legion do most of the fighting since it was way more fleshed out. i believe the mc only has like three weapons themself? one gun and two similar looking sticks.

the graphics or music weren't much better. it was rather bland and repetitive. i ended up putting on my own music or even full on youtube videos while playing the game, so i could at least do something fun while trying to finish this game.

the characters never really get fleshed out, which sucks. i bet characters like marie, olive, jin or even yoseph could've been a lot cooler if given more time.

this game sorta felt to me like it wanted to be too much at the same time. it wanted to have a deep story but it also didn't want to have too many cutscenes so you can always get back into the gameplay quickly. they wanted to have some double fights with you and your legion, but the legion ended up doing most of the work. they wanted to have puzzle aspects and they also wanted to have realistic sections where you work as a police officer. but it just doesn't really work together. they never found that great mix between all of those things. in the end, the puzzles, the police sections and the fights all fell flat for me. i couldn't really enjoy any of them.

i sadly did not enjoy my time with this game and it felt too much like a chore after a while. i wish we had at least gotten to see more of the characters, that could've made the game a lot better in my opinion. but without it, i just can't bring myself to give it a good rating.
