Good story, Interesting system ideas, garbage combat.
Recommended Jul 14, 2026
It was definitely cool seeing all the familiar faces of the main games in a historical setting, but the game is just okay. The story was decent; it starts out a little boring but I started to enjoy it later on. The whole different names thing was an interesting twist, but that, along with being so used to these faces being attached to different names made it hard to remember everyone's names. The combat was decent and I liked learning the styles; however, this game should've been on the Dragon Engine and had the smoothness of that engine's combat. It feels so dated. The brawler style is also just super useless. I kind of liked the difficulty of the bosses but some of them were just kind of stupid. I wish the card system and super powers didn't exist. Your weapons are weak unless you decide to grind. Not many heat actions and they feel kind of boring. I wish the heat flame was more apparent.

Every bad thing they say about this game is true.
Not recommended Jul 13, 2026
An extremely messy video game with too many ideas. Late game grind was worse than pulling teeth.
Recommended Jul 12, 2026
Not bad so far. Surprised to see a lot of familiar faces and VA's in this. Feels like Yakuza but in 1867 and more guns! RTX settings look alright in this game at near max, but I'll admit I do not have a monitor with HDR...
