First I am giving it a +1 star wise since I got it on sale. Its a short game and reminds me of some older flash type of games. I was looking for something that was a casual type of game and this fit the bill. It is linear, but the battles do allow a bit of strategy. That being said I felt after about the 10th battle many of the rest followed a similar formula. Also the gear or I should lack of it was a disappointment. I thought there might be more gear and such but was disappointed to have so few items. It also mentions book 1, is this part 1 ?
