Spectral Force Genesis

Not enough depth to bother a PC strategy title, but the intended crowd (fans of manga girls) may find something new to do here. [Sept 2009, p.71]

Don't go near this game.

It promised to be fun, but it's nothing more than a dull and lengthy risk-game.

SFG seems larger than it is because each campaign has its own flavor and unique perspective, but slogging uphill through one nation's campaign is such a test of patience that it's hard to imagine what would drive someone to willingly play through a second or third time.

Spectral Force Genesis is a really disappointing game overall, and while I found myself oddly enthralled with clicking through menus, the end result is that I spent a lot of time not really doing anything at all. Anyone who's considering picking up this title should avoid it, as it's really not worth your time.

In the end, Spectral Force Genesis ends up being a rather disappointing title on all fronts.

Spectral Force Genesis is pretty deep, I suppose, but being deep to the detriment of the gameplay is never a good idea.
