May 2, 2023Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord is a fine sequel that I never thought would happen. Yes, it doesn’t do anything too innovative or different. However, it does combine personable and genuinely enjoyable characters, raunchy and anime nonsense humour that I couldn’t help but laugh along with, and some simple, but clean tactical action. The long and short of it is that it has been a real joy to hang out with this gang again and go on one more hilariously juvenile adventure with them (especially Tiara. I love her so much).

Apr 24, 2023Despite some intriguing ideas in its combat system, the game is brought down by its trivial and boringly verbose writing.

Apr 24, 2023Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord feels chained to its retro inspirations. While very little could be considered objectively poor, there's a lack of care to innovate that leaves Refrain Chord feeling bogged down. Between the hollow feeling world, the likeable but generic cast of characters, the poor Switch performance and, in particular, the strained strategic combat that actually takes decision-making away from you, everything makes Refrain Chord feel stuck in the past. If you're itching for some classic fantasy or anime fun, this game will certainly scratch that itch. If you're looking for something more, though, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
