Resonance of Fate 04/05/2010
 Sega presents Resonance of Fate, a new JRPG from Tri-Ace. It's a role-playing experience that swaps swordfighting for gunplay, and it's designed from the ground-up for hardcore fans of the genre. Jason D'Aprile has logged in dozens of hours on it, but according to him, it wasn't necessarily time well-spent. Here's why: "On the surface, Resonance of Fate offers up a veritable smorgasbord of destructive possibilities. It is an RPG focused entirely on acrobatic gunplay where you upgrade and level up your weapons with the same detail you normally assign a character. The mix of firearms and otherwise traditional JRPG elements is an intriguing combination, likely to attract players sick of giant swords and sorcery. Unfortunately, Resonance of Fate ends up feeling more like a proof-of-concept experiment than a game. Granted, it’s a really long experiment, but rife with frustration and torment because of the obtuse and absurdly complicated game mechanics. To put it mildly, RoF is a game for the hardcore, and it makes no apologies or exceptions on the matter."
