The story is awesome but can't say the same about the gameplay. It's one of those "bad gameplay, good story" games.

There isn't a word strong enough to describe how awful the combat is.

However, it's the funniest game I've ever played. I'll never forget that playthrough. Genuinely great atmosphere. Hysterical writing. Comfy as fuck.

Do you get bombarded with encounters like in your typical jrpg? I mean Torment had awful combat too but the story redeemed that.

It has a fantastic character roster and is genuinely funny. Story is solid, but not spectacular. The game has soul though. Combat is a low point, but I don't remember it to be particularly awful, I have a strong tolerance for tedious bullshit though.

Ruined the whole thing. What the fuck were they thinking?

I found it to be buggy as shit, and the combat really hard to get past. Maybe one day I'll give it a shot again, but the effort I put into it has already soured me on it.
