Exist Archive
SCORE: 50
My heart is grateful Family Friendly
Gaming purchased a copy of Exist Archive on the PS Vita. It has been
such a long time since I played a game on the PS Vita. It was cool to
use that hand held device again. It made me almost forget the PR and
Marketing failures related to Exist Archive. This is one odd Japanese
role playing game. In fact it probably should have stayed over there in
Japan.
First and foremost Exist Archive is a boring role playing game. We
experience the predictable Japanese storyline with their religious
beliefs being shoved down our throats. Exist Archive has blood,
violence, bad language, lack of attire, enticement to lust, magic, false
gods, attacks Christians and more. The music is okay, and we get English
voice actors if we want. Exist Archive will let gamers hear the English
or Japanese voices.
The game play in Exist Archive is predictable. We walk around these 2D
side scrolling levels to find monsters. We hit them and get to attack
first. If we walk into them they get to attack first. Then we are in
turn based battles where we press buttons for which of our characters to
attack with. I generally hit all three buttons. Finally we go into a
guard phase where we hit buttons to have our characters guard. Rinse,
repeat, recycle and try to stay awake.
The deep Eastern religious beliefs are oozing out of Exist Archive. Here
is another role playing video game where Christian beliefs are demeaned,
and attacked. It is like these people over there are trying to
proselytize their beliefs to brainwash Americans into what they believe.
This is why we need more American companies making role playing games.
Especially ones that are rated E, E10, and T.
The lack of originality from these stories is what bothers me the most.
I have played too many role playing video games with the same themes in
them. Role playing gamers need some fresh ideas injected into the genre.
The characters in Exist Archive are somewhere between short and squat
characters to normal sized. They do not quite look right in Exist
Archive in my opinion. Pass on this game. It is not worth the entrance
fee.
