So first off I have to say I still love the artwork of the characters, and that was the main draw for me to buy this title, but sadly the world behind the characters is lacking. As for combat, it's kind of a mixed bag as I enjoyed playing as the friend characters much more than the main character given he was rather weak in combat compared to even your first ally short of spamming bombs. 3 allies are gonna be outclassing most of the others you can get all of them being ranged characters that more or less let you kill or cripple a boss with their energy alone. Then add on the fact it only takes a run to nearly beat all the content aside the side paths it is a title you can beat in a day off also works against it. In short, this game should honestly drop down to at least a 10 dollar price tag in my opinion, but if they made a newer version with new content I wouldn't mind dipping into this game world again if they flushed it out better.
As Mrfreshdom's review states it is quite the fun game with plenty of options to chose from in game play although as I came to realize using firearms can quickly ruin a good payday as killing only 3 guards cut my payday down only 45% due to cleaner costs. Then the crashing, and some rather silly rules in game can ruin your fun like being unable to disable phones for example at least at a lower lvl then a gun shot should do the job nicely. The weapon unlock system is also a bit silly because you can snag a shotgun early into the game but with no shells to find or buy you will just let it sit in your safehouse. And that brings me to my next point there is no storage area leaving you to simply toss your gear into one of the rooms something I could see being a mess unless a chest, or something is unlocked after a certain area. So perhaps hold off on this until some patches go through so you don't have your men get trapped behind an invisible wall just because another man pushed them aside.
