    Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force is a title with a good soundtrack and beautiful illustrations. The story is not innovative and the game has performance problems. However, fans of the JRPG genre will enjoy it.

    What could have been a great port to a game that is perfect for playing on-the-go is marred by terrible frame rates. Menus and dialogue scenesWhat could have been a great port to a game that is perfect for playing on-the-go is marred by terrible frame rates. Menus and dialogue scenes seem to run at normal frame rates, but dungeon exploring and battles look like complete dirt when the framerate can dip as low as what looks like 20fps (even if you turn off shadows, which is an improvement but still not as great as it could be). Interestingly though, the frame rate during combat animations for skills and fairizing seems to skyrocket to near-60fps, so I'm beginning to think that whatever shader is used or the size of the environment textures are at fault (which should have been addressed when porting this game over). It's almost as if they automated the entire process and just shipped the game out as-is, because I doubt anyone who tested this port could have been satisfied with the end result. The worst part of about all of this is how there is no refund for you if you bought this expecting a smooth gameplay experience.

    Unless you are okay with terrible frame rates during combat and dungeon exploring (which you will be doing about 50% of the time), I would avoid this version of the game and go for the PC or PS4 version.    … Full Review »

    I enjoyed the game, but if you want it, then i suggest you wait until the game is fully patched.
    EDIT: the game's framerate has been pretty good and i haven't noticed any bugs except that one time the game froze, but besides that I think anyone with love for JRPG will enjoy it.    … Full Review »
