This darkly stylish action-RPG drops players in a demon-plagued locale. Set in a fictional, Western European city near the end of the 19th century, Bride of the New Moon is an immersive gothic fairy tale. Alushe is a knight sworn to protect her childhood friend Liliana, a priestess chosen as the next sacrifice to the Moon Queen. An attack from a mysterious enemy kills Alushe, but she comes back from the dead as a half-demon. Alushe must search for answers to a dark mystery, encountering unlikely allies with hidden agendas and enemies who will do anything to stop her. Only Alushe and her friends can uncover the hidden plans of the mysterious Moon Queen.

Plays like a Dynasty Warriors game with KH levels

Plays similar to a Dynasty Warriors game (as far as combat goes). Not exactly but the best way to describe it to people. Except you play as one character throughout the game with several different partners to swap out (1 at a time and 2 monster partners at a time.) Your human partners have synergy abilities that you unleash by racking up combos. These abilities are usually for crowd control. Monster’s abilities I found rather useless for my play-style. Some transform into weapons. I found the weapons useless as I would rather take a monster that had the ability to open a secret area. Level design is very similar to Kingdom Hearts in the there are many corridors and “boxes”. The story is okay, can be hard to follow, maybe due to the translation. Length took me just shy of 10 hours to complete the main quest. I have no interest in pursuing the side missions but that would definitely rack the hours up. Summary: if you want a good action game, don’t care much for story, try this out.

I'm clicking the "keep" button after the holidays.

I liked the first game, and I love this sequel. There were change-ups in the combat and game mechanics that balanced out the fights, and the time limit to complete each chapter (at least in the first playthrough) really lets the player feel like a desperate fight to stop the world from ending verses a long grind. You definitely have to carefully plan the order in which you do lily and subquests and check your maps to get the most out of it. The character models are gorgeous, combat is smooth once you get a feel for it, and the music ranges from soothing to absolutely exhilarating. The story does a good job developing characters and keeping the tension all the way through to the final boss.

This Game Is Like a Stick of Gum

I went into this game with no expectations whatsoever. You get through the game by completing the story related quests that are given to you at the beginning of each chapter in the game and you're given a set amount of time to complete the quests or you'll get a game over.The game is made up almost entirely of instances; kind of like the Dynasty Warriors franchise (I will be using this comparison often as it is a series many people have heard of).The instances I mentioned earlier are also run on a timer that increases with your level and abilities and letting the timer run out makes you fail your mission and waste a day. You run around on a map, kill enemies, and go to your objectives. When you complete those objectives, your "mission" is complete. This game will throw all sorts of things at you to try and set it apart such as: Status Ailments, Servans, etc. All of which, just make the game feel like a chore as opposed to an adventure. The game play is rather poor- Imagine Dynasty Warriors without the ability to swap weapons at will or interesting aerial combos, or musous you have control over. This game is the epitome of what I'd just described; a true button mashing game with 0 depth to it AT ALL. I know you're thinking right now "If the game play is bad, surely the story is decent, right?" Well you'd be both right and wrong in that sense.The story of this game felt interesting in the very beginning of it, kind of like a stick of gum. As with the fate of gum, it becomes flavorless rather quickly the longer you try to keep playing this game. The most interesting part of the story was in the beginning, everything after becomes a predictable mess and one you start to feel like you're wasting your time. This game also suffers with difficulty in that it is incredibly easy to play through in a single day and that there is NO incentive to increase the difficulty setting from normal or even easy mode. In conclusion, this game is a stick of gum and not one I can recommend.

Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon

Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon is a never ending tutorial and lots of talking that you can not fast forward no can you skip. I gave up and returned it quickly as I don't have the time or interest. I you love this type of game play then rent it. I made the mistake of renting both 1 & 2 so I wasted the time it took to update, install and watch an unending tutorial that I gave up on for both.
