What players say
Players are split on Afterimage. Many praise its massive, interconnected world and visual style but criticize the lack of a run button and tedious backtracking. Bosses are often described as too easy, making combat feel trivial. The story is widely seen as confusing and poorly communicated, with a mediocre translation making it harder to follow.
