Astonishia Story

"Astonishia Story lacks the depth and character to be anything more than a mere skeleton of a good role-playing game."

"This is how engaging RPGs shouldn't be made -- even though it’s a port of a pre-existing game, it should've been turned into a director's cut with much more content. It would've been so much more intriguing if the tactics were handled better, you cared about the characters in the game, or the story took longer to develop relationships and plot points. Instead, Astonishia Story abandons depth and interesting characters for the barest bones of plot and combat, which will easily leave RPG fans wanting more."

I originally considered concluding this review by saying "it's so bad, it's good," because I was having fun with the poor translation and pitiful clichés scattered throughout the game. But by the time I reached the end, I was just sick of the whole thing.
