In it, you free this imprisoned being who you use as the muscle to restore a long collapsed kingdom. It sounds like it is loaded with puzzle solving and combat playing off of the strengths of the two characters. I am intrigued, but I wonder why there is not much buzz about it. I seems like allot of love went into it.
The demo was a lot of fun. The interaction between the Majin and your character was pretty solid and I imagine it only gets better as you unlock more moves and the like. I sort of meant to pick it up when it came out, as I'd been watching it for a while (And it released with a 40$ price tag I believe.)
The price is right, but regardless I'm almost certain only like 5 people will buy this. I think it looks cool, so I'll pick it up at some point, but it's not really immediately appealing.

All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai.
Amazon was selling this for $22 last week. It got a $20 price cut before release and was selling for half off a week later. So yeah, I'm probably one of those 5 people.

It looks like to me the font of the title kind of hurts it. At a glance, it looks like a kid's title when it really is not.
Interesting statement ...
From the demo, it gave me the immediate appeal of a game I would buy for a kid about 10-12 who wanted to play something LIKE God of War, but wouldn't have the mass bloodshed. More of the kid-friendly appeal Kingdom Hearts has (which is certainly a deeper game than the Disney flair asserts), y'know?
I'd be lying to say I have any intention of buying this, but I'm still curious why you feel it's more than a kids game.
Before this thread, the only thing I knew about the game was the banner ads I've seen on a couple websites, which totally look like your standard Korean Free-to-Play grindfest MMO banners.

I honestly felt the same, the marketing droped the ball on this.
This was announced around when Last Guardian was, which I thought was amusing. So I've been keeping my eye on it and couldn't resist that Amazon price cut for 22; Now I just wait for it to arrive, I'm thinking I'll get it today.
Definitely a marketing issue; everyone I've talked to about it has no idea what it is. Then I have to explain some Team Ico guys are involved, and I just paid 22 dollars for it.
I have currently played past the first catapult puzzle. I am really enjoying the game. I like it that, as your losing a battle, you start to get covered in black goo. The game over screen is disturbing. Like it should be. There are also some stylish silhouetted cut-scenes.
I picked this up on release for $34 AUD new which is ridiculous given that games in Australia typically retail for almost double what you'd pay in the US. This game has been put out to die.
Majin was pretty fun, only complaint i have is the combat doesnt feel very solid, alot of flailing away. But some of the hidden shit was difficult to find, which is pretty cool that i had to really hunt around. I think i caught it on an amazon gold box and only paid like 20 bucks, and it was well worth that during a dry spell.

I have no idea why I didn't, though. Hm.
They really need to market this more - although it seems to suffer from some stereotypical flaws of the genre.

Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
