Play the game in the perspective of a hero. Don't want to spoil much but basically your soul is separated from your body because of neuralink-like thing and you want to go back and got involved with various stuff in the process. Gameplay reminds me of Digimon World 2 on PS1 but miles better. Collecting Digimon is much more forgiving than Pokemon as you can Digivolve and De-Digivolve to collect them all.

Can be grindy but they laid out all the stuff for you to lessen the burden (hint: use all Tactician USBs you got). Tamer and bosses can be annoying since they know how to counter abnormal status like sleep etc so you need some tactic against them. Haven't tried Online Colosseum as I'm getting FE Fates network battle (modder infested) but idk, never tried it. Localization seems okay, maybe there are some translatoin error but hardly noticeable. Story is pretty good with its plot twist.


Play the game in the perspective of complete bystander. You don't know anything but you do know what happen eventually. The second game is quite tough, not to mention you don't get bunch of useful equipments even though you've done multiple quest to get those items. Tactician USBs are hard to find so grinding is tedious, so get a Supervisor (hint: not an item) and boost those Tactician USBs.

Localization took a downhill here from spelling mistakes, missing punctuation as well as forgetting who is your Cyber Sleuth counterpart. Maybe one day I could take a look and fix it. So far Export/Free Gate is kinda broken as it takes you back to lv. 1 in Under Kowloon but works normally in regular Kowloon. Still, the story is pretty great, dare to say it's better than the main one though it has less episodes


I'd say this is an actual port of the Vita game, as in compiling the game source as x86 executable seeing some textures are a bit blurry and how well the game runs on integrated graphics with OpenGL renderer. It's 5GB for 2 games so no complains, not to mention this game runs flawlessly on Vega 8 2500U on battery. No kidding, this game is easy on igp that my Vega 8 2500U sits at 400MHz shader clock as well as 400MHz memory clock. Not sure how well this is on previous intel IGP, but I can assure those who have GPD Win 3 and AYA Neo would be able to run this game easily, though AMD users need to aware that AMD OpenGL driver sucks so you'll probably need Linux if the game struggles


The game might start as 720p windowed on first time launch. You need to start a new game either one and before the game starts, you'll be presented the settings. It sure is strange but at least the next time you can change it easily. Under Steam Proton, you need to disable Steam Input so that gamepad is usable. Should be no problem under Windows though. For some reason my overlay is gone but achievement are still being tracked


For AMD users, given this is OpenGL, running the game under Linux would be worthy although even in Windows it seems pretty good. Props to the porting team for splendid OpenGL performance. For advanced users, you can run this game with zink for that Vulkan goodness with MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink. be sure to grab zink-wip though as mesa hasn't received the latest zink commits. For some reason DXVK_HUD is not present so use GALLIUM_HUD instead


Is the game worth it? If you're skeptical, wait for sale. To me it's worth it for turn-based single player game. Combined with its low resource and performant on igp, I'd say this game is Steam Deck must-have. This is a pretty underrated game from PSVita. I'm glad it's ported to multiplatform as well as PC. Replayability is great though I'm going to take a rest after grinding 200 hours to complete the entire game. I'm still sad with both ending
