What players say
I loved this series. I started with Till the End of Time, then I went back to First Departure and Second Story, and they were really good, this one is okay! way better than Integrity and Faithlessness but not as good as Last Hope. I do like the cast this time, with no real cringe characters like in Last Hope; though the character models have weird proportions this time.
It's a fun experience. I enjoyed it. There are a lot of characters to play and comabt is fluid and fast.
i got black screen when choosing the performance setting between prioritize image quality and prioritize framate, searching how to fix online, nothing work My PC : Ryzen 7500F , RTX 5060Ti, but, the game can run on my old pc, intel core i5 7500, gtx 1060 6gb
