Not only did the uninspired (and downright boring) maps dull my senses, but the glacier pacing left me fighting the urge to take multiple breaks during my coverage.

If you're willing to put up with a few gameplay flaws, uneven game balancing, and an unsightly user interface, this is one RPG that belongs in your collection.

Complemented by a strong sense of style in its gorgeous presentation, this is one of the stronger titles in Gust's library.
A gratifying love letter to fans that appeals mostly to those who also enjoy the Dynasty Warriors series.
A near-direct port of the handheld release that delivers an enjoyable experience - if you don't mind all the fanservice.
Though Compile Heart once again re-uses a lot of assets, there are plenty of new systems in work to warrant a purchase.
Though it presents a valuable entry into a genre Monster Hunter inhabits, Rage Burst doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from its prequel.
Compile Heart has taken measures to amend major issues with the plot, but players must first endure some poor design decisions.
