"First" Archimpressions: Destrega

 It´s Kensei all over again, almost.

 Taking a break from Xenogears, which by the way, I´m 23 hours in and still am not done with Disc 1, this game is massive. Massive and awesome. Just like with Kensei, I had fond memories of this game, so I pick Tieme( Who came up with the names?!) and.... holy smokes, movement is sloppy. Regardless, eventually I got the hang of it. Gameplay is interesting, you have 3 long-range attacks and 2 short range attacks. For close range, you have a very limited moveset, Weak Attack can be chained up to four time, and you can place a Strong attack mid-string to finish the combo, which gives you a total of 5 combo strings. However, the game places emphasis in long ranged combat. You have 3 different spells(Fast, Strong, Spread) and you can mix spells to add different properties to your attacks. Want a faster Strong attack? Press Strong, Fast. Want a stronger Strong? Strong then Strong and so forth. It´s interesting, but not my cup of tea.
 The music has a very... "epic" feel to it, fitting of an RPG. It´s good. The graphics are decent and get the job done. One thing that unsettles me... By clearing 1P battle mode, you unlock a Dynasty Warriors skin for that character. Female character Angie gets a Xu Zhu skin.... howeverm Xu keeps Angies voice!
 Ah well, there´s still time for the game to grow on me, like Kensei did.
