GOD WARS The Complete Legend

God Wars is too Japanese in tone, aesthetic and design to ever have much of a hope of reaching a mainstream audience, but as a culturally relevant artifact, anyone who is interested in seeing how a game can explore ancient folk tales and spirituality in an interesting and engaging manner should not pass up this opportunity.

  • story

    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 71% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions

    The story of the game is a blend of original narrative and elements from Japanese folklore, with mixed reviews on its execution. While some players appreciate the depth and unique characterizations, others criticize it for being predictable, clichéd, and lacking in engaging plot development. Overall, the storytelling is seen as a significant aspect of the game, with some praising its presentation and voice acting, while others find it underwhelming and repetitive.

    • “This is a good solid tactical game with a nice art style and an interesting story set in Japanese mythology.”
    • “Amazing story, especially if you have any interest in Japanese mythology.”
    • “The story background is based on ancient Japanese myth, but only the character and item settings have been brought, and the plot itself is newly written.”
    • “The story is a combination of badly connected events, one-dimensional characters with erratic behavior (especially our protagonist), and terrible clichés.”
    • “You might think that the queen of a nation, Amaterasu, will be an important character, but no, she appears in two scenes, a flashback, and then the plot forgets about her existence.”
    • “Some of the plot points are either extremely lame or make no sense.”

  • graphics

    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    31% positive mentions, 59% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the charming art style and anime-inspired visuals, particularly in 2D artwork and cutscenes. However, several users note that the 3D models and overall graphical fidelity feel dated, lacking customization options and modern enhancements. Despite these criticisms, the unique character designs and artistic expression rooted in Japanese mythology are highlighted as standout features.

    • “In terms of visual perspective, I personally applaud its terrific anime-style artworks and cinematic scenes.”
    • “The setting is one of Japanese mythology that we don't often get here in the West, that of Princess Kaguya and the myriad gods. The art style is a combination of anime and artistic expression that is quite refreshing.”
    • “Take the nostalgic charm and the addictive simplicity yet endless strategy of Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre, and give it a wonderfully colorful and artistic ancient Japanese aesthetic, and you have an absolutely worthy revival of a fan-favorite genre.”
    • “Dated graphics.”
    • “If you bought the artbook, compare the artwork with what we have in the game; this is just sad.”
    • “Pretty simple graphics, with no obvious option to upgrade or downgrade to consumer taste and very repetitive since the only change is the type of environment.”

  • gameplay

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 57% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring enjoyable tactical mechanics reminiscent of classic Japanese SRPGs, with grid-based movement and turn-based attacks. However, some players find it becomes repetitive over time, with a lack of new elements and over-explanation of basic mechanics. Despite these criticisms, the overall gameplay loop, including missions and side quests, maintains interest, especially with a good difficulty curve and engaging character interactions.

    • “Great storyline and gameplay!”
    • “The general gameplay loop of missions and side quests is good enough to keep you interested, and the overall difficulty ramps up around mid-game.”
    • “The same easy-to-grasp grid-based movement and turn-based attacks, with some spiced-up modern mechanics, and all with a plethora of wonderful characters, insane historically appropriate yokai and other beasts.”
    • “There is nothing new here, but they over-explain basic mechanics you would just know.”
    • “The gameplay got extremely repetitive.”
    • “I usually start with the story in my reviews, but I have to start with gameplay because this is what kills the game for me.”

  • music

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The music in the game features a culturally appropriate soundtrack that immerses players in the world of ancient Japan, with traditional elements that enhance the experience. However, many users find the music to be repetitive and average, leading to some frustration over its looping nature. Overall, while some praise the soundtrack as beautiful and relaxing, others feel it lacks variety.

    • “The culturally appropriate soundtrack is quite enthralling as it pulls us into the world of ancient Japan while keeping the action going.”
    • “The music sounds quite a bit like traditional Japanese music.”
    • “The music is amazing.”
    • “But the music is kind of repetitive.”
    • “The music is... fine, I guess?”
    • “The music was relaxing, but looped a bit too much for my taste, so I turned it off after about 3 hours.”

  • grinding

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Players note that while grinding can lead to exciting combinations and is essential for leveling up, it often feels repetitive and can slow down the game's pacing. The combat menus may contribute to a cluttered experience, and some find the grinding necessary to overcome difficulty spikes, though it can lead to dull moments. Overall, fans of JRPGs may appreciate the grinding elements, but others might find it tedious.

    • “The combat menus can be a little too cluttered during the mid-game, and the game can be a bit grindy or getting a bit dull due to its repetitive battle pacing.”
    • “Due to SRPG and TRPG genre limitations, somewhat repetitive grinding processes are required, and in some cases, there may be boring parts.”
    • “Repetitive grinding.”

  • monetization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Reviewers suggest that the game's monetization strategy relies heavily on promoting a "complete edition" re-release, which feels disingenuous as it appears to exploit the existence of multiple endings for marketing purposes rather than enhancing gameplay.

    • “The only reason those 'multiple endings' exist is because they were so desperate to find anything worthy for the 'complete edition' re-release advertisement.”
    • “The game feels like a cash grab, with every feature locked behind a paywall.”
    • “It's frustrating to see that progress is heavily gated by microtransactions, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”

  • character development

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    Character development in the game is criticized for being lacking, as players feel that story progression and character growth stagnate after initial battles. While the character design is noted for its uniqueness, the overall graphics and 3D modeling are considered outdated.

    • “Its game graphics and 3D modeling are somewhat out of date, but its unique character design is good enough to make up for it.”
    • “However, soon after some battles, you're nowhere in terms of story and character development.”

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game "God Wars" offers enjoyable gameplay but suffers from significant stability issues, including numerous glitches and random slowdowns, particularly on the Steam Deck compared to the PS Vita.

    • “It's such a shame that God Wars, even though it's a blast of fun to play, is riddled with glitches.”
    • “This game was already buggy and prone to random slowdown on PS Vita, but it's even worse on Steam Deck!”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is noted for its blend of lighthearted moments amidst epic storytelling, with players finding the contrast between the rapid advancement of mages and physical attackers amusing. The game features a rich tapestry of mythological Japanese history, offering scenarios that range from humorous to intense, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “God Wars is an incredibly beautiful anime-style package of mythological Japanese history, chock-full of interesting scenarios, tales that range from humorous to epic, and intense battles with all forms of human and yokai enemies.”

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    Overall, users report that the game's performance is currently very good, though there is a desire for further balancing and optimization through future updates.

    • “Now, the performance is very good.”
    • “Of course, it would be better if the game could be balanced and optimized through updates later.”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
