Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force (PS4) Review
Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force is in kind of a weird spot. The characters and gameplay are fun but at times they can be hard to invest in due to the over-scoped plot. Normally I would say go for it and just don’t get too invested; but this is a JRPG we’re talking about here, not some beat ’em up or other quickly-concluded escapade. However, the ideas present in the world are unique and there’s a guy with a Canadian accent, which is rare enough to cherish whenever it pops up.

Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force benefits from great sound design and artistic direction, and is uplifted by a story that's interesting to sit through, and, at moments, hilarious. It feels, for better or for worse, just like watching an anime because of the aforementioned production values... except all of the actual moving around and fighting is controlled by the player. The whole thing is held back by lazy level design, infuriating missables, and, in the Switch version, some easily fixable performance issues that the launch patch didn't manage to iron out. The experience feels very good indeed, but vehicles a sense of imperfection that could be partially fixed with improved performance on Switch. As a result it comes highly recommended to fans of harem style shonen anime stories and JRPGs but, in the state that it is in at time of writing, with a reservation that if portability is not a huge factor, it is better experienced on PS4 or PC, if those are available options.

With Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force, Compile Heart has proven to be the Platinum Dunes of otaku entertainment – an assembly line of titles with similar plots, repeated mechanics, and fan service that feels designed for middle schoolers.
