I've heard it compared to Monster Hunter quite a bit, and from the little Monster Hunter I've played, I would say that the two are similar, only SS is faster paced
Firstly, the combat in this is MUCH more fast-paced, and your character is very agile and responsive
and I would recommend it to anybody who likes fast paced action, with crazy monsters
and I would recommend it to anybody who likes fast paced action, with crazy monsters
The whole portable-action-mmo sub-genre characterized by games like Monster Hunter or the less well-known Gods Eater Burst is massively entertaining to me
The action is much faster then monster hunter, and in my opinion more fun

To save or sacrifice choices make the combat strategic and fresh
but once you gain different type of weapons and magic, the combat becomes very engaging and addicting
Here is what I though of it.************************************************************************PROS******************************************************************************Great combat:- This is the best aspect of this game
The Good: Fantastic graphics, intense combat, many different weapons, memorable and well
I enjoy the game and the combat, but I just felt it got a little repetitive.
I LOVE playing on Ad Hoc with my boyfriend or on the multiplayer
Worth playing if you're into on the go games and don't really care for a story.
would recommend buying and playing considering the low price!

It's a journal of a mad sorcerer, and he later explains you need to stop this powerful sorcerer, but in the mean time you need to level up, gather strong weapons, and learn about his past
and I was still dying several times per boss because I just couldn't get any powerful weapons
This is a great idea if the game didn't constantly throw crappy weapons at you
The Good: Fantastic graphics, intense combat, many different weapons, memorable and well
It's obvious that I'm not going to get anywhere without grinding more powerful spells and getting a higher attack/def level
No matter what I do it feels like I'm still spamming the same 4 or 5 different spells
Magic spells by themselves can only be used a certain amount of times or they'll break and you wont be able to use them until you fix them in the main book section.
The higher your magic, the stronger your offensive spells get and the more you reload your current spells when sacrificing
The stronger your life level, the more powerful your defense and recovery spells get
See also the quite large collection of lore that is unlocked throughout your advancement, but it will not only provide very interesting stories, it also gives hints to bosses weaknesses and info on their deadlier attacks
Other players can choose to sacrifice you in order to do devastating attacks, even against your will - but you will be rewarded for it
Sacrificed players can then act as spirits, who can see enemy lifebars, bolster attack and defense, and shout out phrases from a list of pre-picked options
When an ally falls in battle you have the option to save them for half your life or sacrifice them for a super attack and then they watch as a ghost and offer slight help like boosting players and weakening monsters
Even the really powerful attacks have a cost so it encourages you to employ balance
It had tremendous amount of hype, possibly an "app killer" and after watching many trailers and gameplays and hearing from people this would be sort of like monster hunter (a franchise which I love), I was sold

At least on the japanese PSN its been have regular free monster updates every few weeks, and only has one DLC for charge which is the online pass.
Which are mad dashes to find all the items before the shadowy monsters kill you.
If you can't find any kill monsters and sacrifice them during boss battles or whenever to get more spell points
The combat is a little different from things that I was used to and frightened me at first.
People who need action or spectacle every second will be bored by SS's re-use of similar assets and monsters
When the Sacrifice bar is filled, the player's character does more damage with their attacks and gains more uses for abilities when sacrificing creatures
This along with the large variety of spells makes a lot strategies possibles such as using the life draining spell with healing, or only carry fire if fire is the weakness of the monster you are fighting.
Many of the spells are in fact useless unless used in coop

I've owned a Vita for quite a while to get ahead of the game and be prepared for a new Monster Hunter game
If you're familiar with the Monster Hunter games you will feel right at home in this game, and if aren't this game will do it's darnest to get you up to speed with a solid and for once actually interesting tutorial
This game is similar with the monster hunter series, but with sorceress and not hunters
It is what makes this game stand out so much from the Monster Hunter franchise that I have compared it with so many times already, thus giving it a distinct feel of individuality
If you like monster hunter style action game then this one you wouldn't wanna missed.pro: epic fight and well written story.con: some of the offerings are too powerful
You have no stamina bar so unlike Dark Souls or Monster Hunter feel free to run around, roll, and attack to your hears content
This is not an Open World like Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, Witcher 2, or even Demon's Souls with its archway portals
It sounded like Dark Souls meets Monster Hunter; two of my favorite games of all time
Witcher 2, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Chrono Trigger, Dark Souls, and even Secret of Evermore will also be present to compare other individual components of the game
Given the dark style and depth of lore of the game, I would've loved it to be more like Demon's/Dark Souls, and be a full-fledged action RPG, but this is not the case, and it's a shame
I see many people comparing this game to Monster Hunter Series
People who need action or spectacle every second will be bored by SS's re-use of similar assets and monsters
Additions include an option to change the colors in Mind's Eye (For color-blind people, I guess?), a "Discovery Pact" mini-game with the AR card, a recap after each pact telling you exactly what Soul/Life essences you got during it (Which is awesome if you weren't paying attention to it during the pact or there were too many scores popping up to see it
