Flammie reviews: Tokyo Xanadu Ex+

Tokyo Xanadu EX+ is an action RPG with an almost visual novel like backstory in a Tokyo school. The story bears great similiarity to Persona for sure, but so do 100s of other anime stories related to schools in Japan and so on. The story is quite well written and I especially liked that most of the characters are quite well written and have a progression arc. For many people the game might be too story heavy but I find the balance between fighting and story actually quite perfect. The battle system is quite complex and makes use of most buttons on the joypad including directional pad arrows, as I am not very good in ARPGs in general I often forgot to use half the special moves or accidentally used one when trying to switch characters or open menu, however, the normal difficulty is easy enough to enjoy the game anyways. Only the final boss fight required extra googling of instructions. Music is ok, and sounds too., and so is graphic, nothing super spectacular but works.

Score: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ (8 out of 10)
