Tales of Hearts R Reviews From Famitsu and Dengeki PlayStation

Two reviews for Tales of Hearts R are now out: from Famitsu and from Dengeki PlayStation.Famitsu gave the game a score of 9/9/8/8, receiving a total of 34/40. Their comments on the game were as follows:

• Clear time is around 30-40 hours for the main story. It can reach 60 hours if you try to complete everything.
• The system is easy to understand, so even first-time players will be able to get it quickly.
• Battle seems to have evolved nicely and has a good feel. The Chase Link, flashy movements and ease in connecting combos gives it an exhilarating feel.
• Being able to blow away opponents with one button makes it easy.
• Introduction of the new character (Galando) into the story feels well-placed and well-written. It doesn't feel weird to have him in there at all.
• There are a lot of mini-games and costumes to enjoy.

Dengeki PlayStation gave the game 80/85/90/85. Their comments are as follows:

• There are times when normal attacks during semi-auto mode don't hit.
• Setting the skills with SP is a bit tedious
• Being able to blow away enemies and freely continuing the combo in the air makes it fun.
• Leveling up weapons with only points and not money is interesting.
• The main scenario is full-voiced.
• The models appear a bit flat, this is a bit disappointing for the PS Vita.
• It's sad that the support character system is gone.
• Battle timing is good - switching from guard to attacks is fast enough for combos.
• The AI don't work that well if they're not properly set.
