Frontier Hunter Erza’s Wheel Of Fortune Review Cons:

• Not all characters are voiced.
• At the start you get it run around the ship and learn the controls, then you have to do the predetermined training center that tells you everything you already worked out yourself.
• The image of your character in the menus will always be the default avatar and it will not change as you change your outfit or hair.
• The AI can be dumb at times, just standing there until they die.
• The game is no good at telling you how you got something or why you have it and what it does exactly.
• Your dash move cannot go through enemies. The enemy can shoot through each other but you can’t do that to them.
• There is no way to set or even see locations of side quests and this can make it really hard.
• A lot of menus with a lot of text to read for very basic information.
• The game does expect you to go into many of the menus to learn the basics.
• It’s weird to say hit the game is so open it actually goes against it, you can get lost in the exploration, lose track of missions, and just tire yourself out.
• Enemies can go through the environment.
