This game is definitely fun and I am not a fan of RPG games. What makes this better than others is for each fighting screen, you have to fight multiple enemies, making the action fast and furious. The Pokemon and Golden Sun, etc. are boring because you do the same thing over and over and over again, making it quite dull after a while.
This game builds upon itself, where you have to keep track of the health of many players, move them into position accordingly, and make sure you have the right player to fight the right villan.
There is definitely more strategy, great graphics, and interesting story line to keep you going through the game.
