When I first saw this game I was very happy and started playing it immediately. The first hours were very fun and the nostalgia of playing Archimedean Dynasty as a kid made it even better. And then, when a certain type of enemy showed up the game brutally reminded me how frustrating and annoying some parts of this game really are. No mouse-control in combat means you either have to have a joystick (which I don't own) or try to chase frustratingly fast and bullet-spongy enemys for what feels like half of the game with your keyboard (which is again pretty frustrating due to the agility and maneuverabilty of said enemys). The fun of "exploring" other stations and places in Aqua and doing sidemissions to really feel like you are actually a mercenary also disappears at around that time since you will be left with only linear missions and other stations apart from the main hubs in each zone become almost obsolete. I love the world and the setting of Archimedean Dynasty but the combat system has not aged well and the second part of the game feels sadly considerably less fleshed out then the first.
