Never in my life have i ever played a game that i actively despised the moment i started playing it.
RWBY. the show itself, is an excellent work of art, sure, its not everyone's cup of tea, but for something that started as a web series it quickly gained a lot of following for a reason, because its a good show, plain and simple
this game? it actively made me want to kill myself
The Character models are extremely barebones, and Ruby, the team leader, looks like she is 2 polygons away from being your stereotypical My Chemical Romance fangirl
Yang, the half-sister of the leader, not only feels watered down and really weak, but she should be the one where the whole hack n' slash gameplay of the game excel, but she feels so clunky to use that i actively didn't even try to, i only bothered to farm for XP with her and see her skills, which are even worse than i imagined
Weiss, a Heiress in the show, is damn near useless outside her ranged attacks,
Blake, Blake's just simply depressing to me, and each characters ultimate skill is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ atrocious, Ruby spinning around with the scythe? Yang bashing her fist into the ground?
The entire world, the entire storyline, if you can even call this game having a coherent and engaging story, is something i would read from a Fanfiction and im pretty sure Fanfictions have better writing than this heap of mess, the game is extremely linear, the only collectibles being chess pieces, which if i wanted to play chess i just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ play the board game itself, the voice acting is one dimensional at best and ear grating at worst, *COUGH COUGH Ruby exhaling excitedly at the sight of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Beowolf* the whole world looks like an asset flip rather than a professional, in-house built game, everything looks so plastic and shiny that it is actively distracting, the character models especially, the camera is basic as all hell
and don't even get me started on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficulty spike of the game, the game is not "hard" per say, but the entire difficulty section doesn't make the enemies any more engaging, aggressive, all it does is double, triple, and quadruple the number of enemies for you to defeat, and when the enemy AI is not actively kicking my ass, then i can literally stand in front of them and they do nothing, parrying is broken in this game as i can actively stunlock my enemies left and right to my hearts desire.
The music is the worst part especially, Rooster Teeth has already made 3 entire seasons of RWBY by the time the game came out, and they could have easily use some of the best songs of the show *Cough Red Like Roses Part II, Die, I Burn, From Shadows, This Will Be The Day, Neon, Caffeine, Boop* instead we get the most basic ♥♥♥♥♥ renditions of some of the more forgettable songs from the show, they all feel and sound so lifeless compared to the high action packed music fans have been used to
i wasted 20 bucks on this ♥♥♥♥ and by the time i reached the final stage of the game, i actively struggled to try and kill the boss, the sheer amount of difficulty spike, distraction, and overall unfairness of the boss just made me quit by the time i reached my 10th death, because im just so frustrated at this point with this game that i actively don't want to do anything with it anymore, it was a clear cash grab from Rooster Teeth and the mere fact that blind fanboys and fangirls see nothing wrong with this game is proof that peoples deserve to be ripped off, i bought this game despite my friend telling me otherwise, and i owe a personal apology to him for flushing down 20 bucks for a game that only made me feel disappointed.
it is clear why Rooster Teeth is shutting down, and this game is probably what kickstarted the effect of them being unprofitable to the point they have to sell the IP of RWBY alongside laying off all their staffs, and honestly? good riddance, ♥♥♥♥ this game
Edit: I decided to finish the boss, somehow, and now i wanna die
Edit 2: Rooster Teeth is back
