So...the graphics are kind of sucky, they changed Sol into Ky but with brown hair and it will play like dynasty warriors? God i'm disappointed.

I was kind of hoping this would be like DMC or NG only with the awesome characters from GG...but i guess not. I might still try it out but i have very low expectations right now.

Could the HUD be any bigger? It must be hell on SD TV's...

Kinda tired of these arcady games... At least make the HUD A) more attractive and B) less in the way...

And I thought this was a shooter for some reason at the name (not familiar with the GG series...)

The graphics look reasonably decent, it's just the over-powering HUD - TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

I, too, tried the jap(?) demo.
I love GG and DotA, and while I sucked at the demo I think it's because I don't understand moonspeak and didn't know what the hell I'm supposed to do.

This game has potential, I think. For DotA lovers, and who are not into those semi-realistic'ish KOEI series.

only main player model may look like a PS2 or Wii game but those consoles never handle this many units at the same time on screen. this game is not a simple action but basically RTS with fighter character as a master unit. totally new genre. not close to DMC nor NG at all. far more RTS than Dynasty Warriors but with simple map. rules and systems are bit too complicated and tempo is also too hectic so you guys might wanna hold final comment until english demo finally arrives if possible and know what's what exactly.

The graphics are fine seriouly. To everyone that say its look 1999 or PS2: wtf are you smoking. It would be lagging like grazy if this was on PS2.
