Famitsu - Pokemon Rumble Blast, Devil Survivor 2 review details

- Pokemon Rumble Blast (8/8/8/8, 32 points): “The controls are responsive enough that just moving Pokemon around is fun in itself. The system is pretty simple and none of the areas are particularly complex, but collecting Pokemon is addictive and before you realize it, you find yourself trying the same stage multiple times. The quick tempo and easy learning curve make for a pretty simple action game, but there’s enough strategy to the fighting that it’s more than worth the time invested. A lot of work’s been put into the graphics as well, making it exciting to watch. You tend to do the same thing over and over again, but it’s still addictive.”

- Devil Survivor 2 (8/9/8/8, 33 points): “The unique story and setting have a way of completely absorbing you. The dual screens are used to good effect, with things like elemental weaknesses displayed on the top screen, so it’s quite easy to play. The battles have a deeply strategy element to them that places things on the difficult side of the spectrum, but you’re free to grind levels to gain an advantage, so it’s not inaccessible to beginners at all. The story develops at a pretty unhurried pace, but your decisions have a palpable impact on the plot, which is neat. Overall it’s a game you’ll want to sit down and spend a lot of time with.”
