I've got to try this out.

I heard that it didn't exactly get the greatest reviews in Japan, but I'm a sucker for a good SRPG, so I'll definitely give it a whirl. The online co-op certainly sounds intriguing!

Oh, I'm not expecting much in the way of a great game. But a Turn-based Strategy RPG featuring Nazi werewolves has to be good for a laugh. 🙂

So, I finally played the demo.

It feels like the usual mediocre JSRPG (is that a new term? I just made it up). Punishing difficulty, bad design decisions (I think I spent the first 15 minutes of the demo running to combat, not fighting), and a somewhat incomprehensible plot. I like the idea and concept, but the execution needs some work. Frame rate and graphics were also just so-so.
