The art is good but the game was HORRIBLE. "Yay new weapon with high attack power", several swings later -CRACK!- "It broke T_T." -get pwned by enemies and have to restart the entire dungeon again. "Screw this..." -flushes game down the toilet-
Don't load talismans onto a weapon, or they break way faster. Took me a while to realise how to work it, but now I see how it all works. I've had one weapon going for almost all the game now, and I keep making it better, raising it's SP cap when I can but not going over, or it will break.
And I've never played the first one, but the 2nd games seems fun so far.
