It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 71 percent. STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN ($39.99, scores 40) outscores it, and so does ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN ($39.99, scores 63). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
More about FREEDOM WARS Remastered
29 of the 675 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2025 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,362 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 215 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 29 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. In its first 30 days on sale, 26 of 443 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 314 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
I'll keep this short and sweet. I never played the Vita version, so this was my introduction to this game and I really enjoyed it. I like the combat, the story and just the concept alone. Just wish the story didn't end on a cliffhanger, but here's to hoping they'll do a sequel.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
While I went into this expecting nostalgia bait, which to a degree it is, the game still holds up very well as far as monster-hunter likes go. I really really really want to see a sequel to this game be made, as it is and was my favorite vita game of all time.
When you take away the grinding and just focus on content, there's about 10 hours worth of story and things to do. Gameplay mechanics are interesting, as well as the lore. But content wise aside from the constant grinding is ridiculously short.
