LOL What happened here...

This should have been a swan song wish fulfillment for the fans. Is this the equivalent of a anime cash grab akin to a crap movie license game?

To be truthful I did not even finish the game since about 3 to 4 hours into the game the flashy and cool fight animations started to get really grinding.

I do not know if this was because I am not really into fighting games in general, for example MK or the injustice franchise is a few that I have never played since just arcade type fighting does not do it for me.

This is mainly why I was a lot more disappointed since I expected much more beginning from the free form 3D movement I saw in the trailers up to a good story with all of our favorite anime and manga heroes.

But OMFG was this a shoddy failure of an attempt.

The story if there is any seemed dull, since I did not finish the game.

As around about hour 2 into the game all the dialogue was jarringly just on screen text even though I could clearly see the characters lip movement.

I lost all interest in the game as soon as Light Yagami showed, up to my delight with a proper sound plus dialogue cut-scene, only for Ryuuk to have the same lazy on screen text dialogue.

I just could not take anymore and I uninstalled the game right there and returned it.

I was tied into the game for a couple of hours enjoying the average fight mechanics and a little above average Ability animations but gamers like me need a better story and a gamer+fan of anime sure as hell need a lot more than that.

I don't think it should be that hard to come up with an original story made from pieces of all the anime, for all these characters to interact with each other.

All we need is a flimsy attempt at a reason to fight our favorite heroes, even that much was too much to ask apparently.

Conclusion - Wait for a Deeep Deep as sale or something if you absolutely need to try it or maybe if we hopefully get a sequel or another attempt.
