Mind Zero is in no way a travesty, but despite glaring shortcomings, it's very average.

An interesting mash of ideas that never quite gels together, Mind Zero rambles on too much for its own good.

The game just depends too much on its uninteresting characters, only damaged further by tedious dungeon crawling and its other half-baked aspects. We think that there’s something buried here that would have made the game a must-have, but it’s too undeveloped to butt heads with better titles in its class.

A fine, albeit safe, dungeon crawling RPG. There's considerably much better you could be playing on the Vita, but there's also much worse you could be playing, and Mind Zero isn't a bad game. Okay if you want a "Persona" like game that isn't Persona, but it unfortunately doesn't do enough to stand out.

+ The story concept is pretty good. + Lots of well voice acted scenes and characters. + Battle system is unique and fun. - The story is too slowly paced, despite the story concept been cool. - Dungeons are very long and uninteresting to look at. - The game is very tedious.

I can't say it's a bad game, but it is not good ether. The story and characters are pretty cliche. The dialogs are banal, but the voice acting is decent. The battle system and the dungeons are well made. So if you like dungeon crawling, you can check this out, if you want a good story with interesting characters, you can skip the game.

For a game without any kind of established lineage, this is a very welcome addition to the Vita’s growing JRPG library.

Mind Zero is an enjoyable dungeon crawler with engaging battles, lively voice acting, and oodles of exploration.

To those of you you who enjoy RPG's of mixed caliber. I don't mean as in normal Final Fantasy RPG but rather an RPG much like the Persona series. I would highly recommend this game. It acts like a mix between Persona and Digital Devil Saga from what i have seen. I'm not to far in the game myself maybe just 20 hours. However everyone has different tastes and this may not be the game for you and it may not feel like a Shin-Megami game either. To me it does and I enjoy this game.

I decided to give this game a chance since I like dungeon crawlers, seems like I made the right choice. It takes the setting of Persona and the gameplay of Etrian Odyssey, with a compelling story and a nice combat system, plus some great dungeons to explore. I'm liking it much more than some other Vita rpgs.

Mind Zero is still a very entertaining game, it's just that when you deliberately compare yourself to the greatest, you're inevitably going to disappoint. Were Mind Zero to stand with its own narrative drive, and free of the comparisons to Persona, this game would have appreciated for what it is, rather than what it is not.

If you aren’t absolutely desperate for a new JRPG, you can safely skip this one and perhaps replay P4G instead.

Mind Zero has the makings of what could be a decent dungeon crawler while tripping all over tropes that could be avoided. Poor graphics aside, story segments get boring while watching text boxes spew pointless dialogue, and the dungeon crawling and battling is the only actual bit of gameplay that there is.

Like The Asylum's film oeuvre, Mind Zero is capable, at times, of at least holding your attention, but it's rarely entertaining, and when you're done, you'll be wondering why you didn't invest your time in a superior alternative instead.

This game is obviously a Persona knock-off. However, saying that, I actually enjoy this game very much. Combat is fun, Dungeon exploration is fun, and voice acting is top notch. Overall plot however is terrible. The character humor is somewhat amusing.(SOMEWHAT) And the interactive story book form the plot takes doesn't work all to well..... I'll tell you one thing, this game is Persona 3's spiritual successor. If you hated Persona 3's ending play this. The protagonist lives through this one....

First **** not expect this to be a Persona clone, it doesn't play like Persona at all. That being said... This game is nearly finished. The story, characters, art direction, and dungeons visuals aren't at their fullest potential. The game ends with a couple big cliffhangers that will probably never be answered as the game did so poorly it'll never get the sequel that fixes all the shortcomings. It truly is a shame as you can really see the makings of a fantastic game in here. Mind Zero shines most in its dungeon crawling, music, and battle systems (especially the skill system) and I'd say that those things really pull the game through. I recommend it if you're interested in, and are okay with, a lower-budgety, gothic styled 1st person dungeon crawler.
