    This game is a solid game for anyone needing an RPG fix. Good controls, music and story line. I've really enjoyed it. Now first playthrough works good and there are no issues. If you are going for plat and taking on NG+, thats where it really slows down. Grinding it out becomes a serious chore. But it's simple, straightforward and satisfying enough that I keep coming back.

    Very fun game with an amazing soundtrack. The game is really colorful, but the plot is actually pretty dark.
    Definitely a must buy if you're a fan of RPGs.
    Also has an easy platinum for you trophy-enthusiasts.

    There are no puzzles, no secret rooms, no open exploration of any kind, and the game wants players to do this with ten unique characters, leveling them each to 99. Battle Princess of Arcadias is so monotonous that I kept playing it out of inertia rather than because of enjoyment, but I kept hoping for more of the magic from its first five minutes. Sadly, that magic never appeared.

    Battle Princess of Arcadias could have been exceptional but ends up being average.

    A solid beat'em up with a JRPG structure: this proud ostentation of Nipponese traits means that you'll find nonsense cut-scene as well as trying grinding session.
