10/10 game, I get to see my beloved Sayaka in a bikini!
Jokes aside, this was surprisingly fun, despite never being a fan of the Talent Development Plan from V3, and if I didn't commit myself to 100 percenting all of the games in the series, I wouldn't have continued with that mode, or even bought and played this game. But in a way, I'm kinda glad that I did pick up and play this game, as it was SIGNIFICANTLY better than the Talent Development Plan. (I don't like the Talent Dev Plan in case you couldn't tell)
It still has a few of the same problems as Talent Dev, mainly that levelling up characters is depended entirely on luck, and if you get a bad run, you'll have to start all over again in order to get a usable character for the battle mode, so in short: you have to be the real life Nagito. Also there is a lot of grinding to be done in the battle mode (which is now required for achievements, along with other things that weren't in V3). But to me, developing characters feels a lot easier than in the Talent Dev, and the Battle mode is significantly better, as I am not forced to encounter enemies everytime I take 2 steps, now I choose when I want to slaughter enemies with my beloved characters from across the series.
I wouldn't call it my favourite game in the series by a pretty wide margain (V3 is my favourite), but for quite a few moments, I had a smile on my face with my time on this game as I progressively got more and more character cards, and seeing all my beloved characters hanging out and having a good time (And not worry about having to kill eachother). My time is almost up with the series until 2x2 comes out, but I'll look back on this game fondly once I get all of the achievments (Without spending a single extra cent on this game).
Your experience may VERY MUCH vary though, as you might not be able to get a near perfect run with Maki, who can now one-shot anything in her path, including the final boss like I did.
