Grid Force - Mask Of The Goddess

Never have I been so conflicted on a game. On one hand, game is quite pretty, love all the concepts at play, gameplay feels pretty good for the most part. On the other hand, this is not ready for launch. Simply put. A lot of bugs, (Don't even bother using the 2nd mask you get, good chance it doesn't work, or softlocks the game), typos, and the most absurd difficulty arrangement I have ever seen. Did you guys actually play through the silver mines? I don't believe it, not without some absurd amount of grinding. Enemies seemingly just randomly reflect stuff by the mid game, with no rhyme, reason, or tell as to why. Everything one shots your characters by the aforementioned point in the game, even accounting for elemental resistances, and being about as leveled as seems reasonable. There is a good game here, I can see it, and feel it. But it isn't there yet. I will (see below)recommend, for now, for the sake of looking fine enough for steam review score, but it will change if enough t...

Ok, so I haven't played this game for very long yet but I am excited to play more when I can! The gameplay is fun so far and it looks like there is a lot of content in the game which is pretty exciting. The music has been good and I really enjoy the manga style story panels. I am interested to see if the developers plan to keep updating and potentially adding content to the game over time or if they stick to small things like bug fixes and what-not. All that to say I recommend it. It's fun!

I came back 2-3 months after release, as I said I would do. Couldn't even get passed 3rd Biome. [b] Pros [/b]: [list] [* ]Art. The art is fantastic. [*] The game play (when it works) is very cool. [*] Did I mention the artstyle? [/list] [b] Cons [/b]: [list] [*] Everything else. The game constantly crashes, constantly slows down - how are there still bugs after being in development for years.. [*] The story. I see people hating on it for LGBTQ story line, this is a non-sequitur for me. The story itself is just.. inane. Some characters have absolutely no reason to be there, no point. [*] Want to unlock characters? Good luck! You make choices which you have NO Idea what the outcome will be and have to restart ( and hopefully not run into any bugs ) [*] Want to finish the game in a clean run? Nope. Still not there. This game was supposed to release in March 2022. It's still not at a point where I can recommend it. [*] Enemy buffs that aren't explained, skills that ...

I followed this game for a long time and it's finally out so I needed to write something about it! I think I just passed half of the game and I simply love the variety of characters that you can recruit! The game is not too grindy as you can progress without going back and grind, but it allows you to do that. As someone that loves to grind, the fact that you have to level up stats with the respective element, instead of just raising levels of a char is very refreshing! This is a heavily story-driven game and there's a lot of dialogues, while I like story-driven games I also like the fact that I could skip it when I wanted to try another path of the story. I enjoyed the art-stile and the different environments, the comics as cut scenes are definitely a good addition. If you like MMBN you will probably enjoy this title even thought it's definitely more bullet hellish, at least at the part I'm currently at. This is a very fast paced game and so far it was lots of fun and it got me ...

NOTE: The first mask/ summon in this game summons a topless woman though no nipples are shown I really want to like this game. The art and music are fun and unique. The combat has potential for depth via squad building and each battle requires a lot of thought. Unfortunately difficulty balancing and poor signposting cause major issues. By mid game, most enemies oneshot you and when combined with the 60 second revive timer, that means that most fights snowball after your first party member goes down. Second, enemies reflect attacks with no warning, so you can't bait them out, which means you have to be far enough away to reflect any attack at all times or risk losing a member and starting the snowball. Since there's no difficulty selection, there are some fights where you have to pray the RNG favors you. I hoped that these issues would be fixed a year later but no.

Second day playing Grid Force and I love it, to the point I'd like to recommend it. Not only the graphics and the soundtrack are great, but the story has been captivating so far; the diverse characters are a breath of fresh air and make gameplay different, in a positive way. The features I've enjoyed the most the the ability of mimicking opponents and kicking their "bullets" back at them. I had not purchased a game for some time, I recommend this game to anyone who likes a fights with a strategic twist.

Looks bad Feels bad Too much story

Only played it for a few minutes and got it on special but I'm enjoying it so far. Not sure why this is being compared to One Step From Eden in the comments when that is a roguelike with deckbuilding elements and this is an ARPG. They both have a similar surface combat system to MMBN and that's about it. Hitboxes feel wonky and the controls don't seem responsive, though some of the latter is due to windup/cooldown. There could stand to be a bit more explanation about what is going on during a fight as well.
