    This is the type of game missing from the Xbox Library, and it a shame there dose not seem to be any sign of a physical release as this is the type of game many love to have on their shelf.
    Its an excellent OG back to basins hack and slash title , filled with beautiful woman that are often missing in modern games as it upsets soy drinking men that fear the attractive female.

    Its an excellent OG back to basins hack and slash title , filled with beautiful woman that are often missing in modern games as it upsets soy drinking men that fear the attractive female. But the average red blooded man, with a healthy hetro set drive will find it a treat to play and watch..Not a game for Limp willy cuck boys, basically, they would break their thumbs on twitter..

    Controls are tight and responsive and has a Nier?DMC feel to them with satifying attacks and special moves.
    Graphics are basic but serviceable as you are always able to tell what is happening in the battle and are able to react.
    Sound is great, Japanese is definently the language you want for this game.    … Expand

    All in all, Initial 2: New Stage is an intriguing title. Although it’s technically more than rough around the edges and the localization is a hot mess, the game is not just a knockoff of similar, bigger titles. There’s honesty in how Restory Studio has wanted to a make a cool, Japanese-like hack and slash action with a meaningful narrative to complement the gameplay. The story might be naïve when it stresses friendship that reaches over hostile boundaries but we really need something like that in our dreadful world, don’t we? To fully appreciate Initial 2, you will need a certain state of mind and shouldn’t care about finer technicalities. Don’t look too much into the overall score, either, as Initial 2 is one of best gaming experiences I have had this year.

    Initial II: New Stage sports an entertaining and compelling combat system, but unluckily it gets dragged down by too many poorly developed elements like the repetitive and overly linear structure, a bad technical production, lack of polish and a poor english localization.
