A generally gratifying gameplay experience. Makes good use of the DS hardware and offers players a unique and functional method of controlling the action. It stumbles in the exploration surrounding that, and in its largely derivative storyline.- GamerNode

If the game took a quick breather and realized that it's about robots, world-conquering aliens, and ancient elfish-looking mystics under the sea, then we might be left with a better game; maybe, maybe not, but it worked for "Earth Defense Force."- GamerNode

The game is solid for fans and non-fans alike. The voice acting, sound, video, and graphics are downright amazing for the PSP. The battle system was unique, but really got old fast, with little to keep a player engaged. Of course the story is great.- GamerNode
