Yes. Keep those anime licensed games with dubs that aren't Naruto/Boruto or Dragon Ball coming.

I'm sorry, what? It's a Made in Abyss game in the style of Fairy Tail: Portable Guild 2 (as in, make an OC and hang out with the canon cast), but with combat out of Dark Souls? Am I getting that right?

My brain will need time to process that combination.

Looks pretty rough gameplay wise,off that bit of footage. Hope it turns out decent,but not gonna get my hopes up considering how most of these licensed games turn out.

Cool that they're dubbing it, especially since it's a Sentai cast.

This game seems like it could be fun, but it looks just as rough as it did in the initial reveal trailer. Hopefully it'll get a lot more work done before release

Why are Japanese games so stuck on 2005 graphics as soon as you get out of the big franchises?...
I mean, this would barely be acceptable from indie devs in the west, weebs deserve better.

Look, I'm not one of those people who expects the best graphics from my games, hell i even like the graphics of older games. So when see this looks visually awful, that's saying something.

Even by low standards of cheaply made licensed Anime games, this is terrible. At 0:35 it actually looks like an N64 game in HD, not even joking it has the same 3D models you could find in a video game of that era. As for the character models, well I played a One Piece game on the Wii that had better character models than this.

This really doesn't look good.
I might still end up getting it just because MiA is my favorite anime so I will probably feel the need to at least give this a fair chance but it honestly looks pretty low effort and rough in every way.

Instead of this being MiA quality, the quality seems to be MiA

edit: I shoulda just said it looks Abyssmal

Color me surprise. None Mainstream anime games never get dubbed. Let alone a Sentai Dub.

I'll probably get it on PS4. The last time I had to choose Switch or PS4 for a game, the Switch version had frame rate errors, and bad load times.

to be fair,Spike Chunsoft is not a company specialized in epic big budget AAA games,but adventures,RPGs(don't forget they were the developers of the first five Dragon Quest games.They pretty much created the franchise) and visual novels.
There's a reason people like when they make stuff like 428,Zero Escape games,the Daganronpa games and AI The Somnium Files,but roll their eyes when they make fighting games like Jump Force,that One Punch Man game,One Piece burning Blood and etc.
