The late 1700's setting of relatively crude machines powered by early clockwork style mechanisms looked interesting when I bought this game. I struggled for the first couple of days trying to get through the early fights, but then (with help from my girl) I got through that and from then oooo WOW the combat became amazing. One of the most enjoyable things is the way the (beautiful) story is unveiled as you go along, and it is a fairly deep and interesting storyline indeed. You become quite attached to the character you play, if she 'breaks' you think 'Noooo' ... her innocence and honestly combined with her ability to beat the living crap out of things that hurt your lovely automaton make this a very rewarding game to play. It has a very well done build tree setup that has depth, you can customise your girl's stats to suit the way you like to play, this combination of things plus the pure eye candy of the gorgeous graphical artwork,animations and storyline made this game so enjoyable to me that I ended up not wanting it to end. I can't recommend this game enough.
