    Compared to the crappy card based metal gear acid this game is great you can customize your person and i mean if you dont like this than get untold legends because either one is pretty decent.

    This game is not by any means a hidden gem. But it absolutely doesn't deserve such a low score. The stages do get repetetive but the gameplay is engaging. The story is very philosophical without being pretentious. And the cherry on top is the artstyle, I kept changing equipment just to see how it affects GRAM's body. The only thing it lacks is memorable soundtrack. The only tracks thatThis game is not by any means a hidden gem. But it absolutely doesn't deserve such a low score.

The only tracks that stayed in my head for long are the intro cinematic and the corridor leading to the last boss. The game is short, you can finish it in a day or two, so give it a chance.… Expand

    Rengoku's clunky control system does well to convince you you're a steel-clad cyborg, but unfortunately this rigid feel doesn't lend itself to an enjoyable game. [JPN Import]

    Rengoku doesn't break down, but it doesn't' break new ground either.
