The "insta-death" is basically a quick-travel trip to the infirmary, which isn't all that inconvenient, and the stray phone calls can just be ignored - which they should be because they're unwinnable battles. Individually, these ideas aren't so bad, but the way they are implemented is poor. Obstacles involve the "MAD Gauge" that slowly fills up, easily avoidable "insta-death" NPCs that try to block the way, and stray phone calls that start random battles. Exploration mostly involves going into an area that is full of "mist" to look for its source and snuff it out. ![]() Gameplay is mostly split into two parts: exploration and battles. It's so bad it made me laugh out loud on many occasions. On some level, the voice actors never really had a chance because the dialog is awful. They are very well produced, and sound professional at least. All boss levels have J-Pop tracks with vocals which feels a bit out of place. When picking a dialogue option, the main character will randomly flap his lips for about 5 seconds while gesticulating, which is one of the strangest, most disturbing, and unintentionally hilarious things I've ever experienced.

Overall while i wont say its the best JRPG or even RPG on the switch its still a very enjoyable game and is certainly worth your time if you need a entertaining tome sink for your switch. well its definitely there but i cant say its much worst than any other JRPG in the past 20 years, it just comes with the territory. The graphical quality is easily the most to be criticised because it simply isnt on the same level as other games on the Switch however it mostly shows its issues while in docked mode and is much easier on the eyes in portable mode. If i had to point towards anything negative it would be the graphical quality and the repetitive gameplay. For this reason it borrows heavily from earlier SMT releases such as SMT IF which it borrows from the most.
