People tend to go overly protective when it comes to Atlus and/or obscure japanese (s)RPG games. They're gonna play it no matter how shit the game is.

What I don't like is when people just look at screenshots/videos and go "oh, that's crap".

Once you do the tutorials and try a few levels it's really fun.

The game really hooked me~

I wasnt interested in the beginning after looking at some videos where i didnt understand a single thing.

Then i tried it yesterday, first it was great cause of the soundtrack, after playing all tutorials, i found myself enjoying the first missions and so on~
great game~

It's complex so it doesn't look like a good game? I really don't understand where you people are coming from. I've never known a game's complexity to have any relation to how interesting it is - unless of course it's depth means you can get even more enjoyment out of it.

You would have a point if it was nonsensically complex to the level that most people couldn't understand it even after giving themselves time to try. Other people that are playing it are saying it is a good game after learning to understand it through the tutorials. You haven't even played the game yet you're talking as if it looks so boring it's not worth your attention.

And people tend to make stupid assumption just because other people like the game.

Just try it, you'll love it or hate it but to me the gameplay is really innovative, just like the other games in the Dept. Heaven series. I like how you have to move the Wisp in order to evade your enemies' attacks and select what attack you'll do and things like that. It's not a very hard game, but the gameplay really makes up for that. Also, it's not as complex as it looks. As I already said, just try it. It's good.

Well you guys are in luck, as there have been a couple of Imagine games dumped just recently which are simple to understand and not complex at all. They're also really colourful and bright, so you might find them really super fun, and they could interest you in a new future career, who knows.

I've got no affinity for Atlus in general, I find their games to be a bit hit or miss, but I do like the fact that they're willing to take a chance and release games, in the West, which have unique and original ideas, even if they don't always work. At least they're trying something new, which Knights in the Nightmare is, and for my part I really like this one. Yes it's complex, but they've included tutorials, and lots of them, to help you understand the concept, so yes this isn't a pick up and play kind of game, but that doesn't mean it's not a good one. At least bother to try it properly before condemning it.

Ok, I went ahead and did every tutorial available (took a while). And I've now played a few chapters. You really only need the first basics tutorial. If you feel like it, look into EXP distribution and item power ups. Other than that, the first set of tutorials (which aren't that long, people. Haven't you guys played a MGS game before?) are plenty to get you into the game.

Once you get into it, the complexity isn't that daunting. In fact, it all just makes sense. It is complex, no doubt, but it all works. Ikaruga had some odd concepts for a shooter, but it turned out great. I think what gets people is the fact that it's all in real time. But I think Trauma Center was more difficult for real time on screen madness.

Gambia, The
"complex" sounds to me like a nice precondition for an entertaining game. =)
But I won't judge before I actually tried, because you can't.
So I know what I'm going to do tomorrow... =)

This game is so complex... and yet, I liked its mechanics...
It's a very unique game...

It almost took forever to finish the Tutorials and Tips...
But it's worth it anyway...
