I gave the demo a whirl.
The game works well, has fully customisable controls, which is nice, as the defaults suck.
Graphics wise it's all right, isometric view, but with 360 deg rotatable camera. The character models are themselves typical hollywood clichés in presentation.
On the other hand, the animations are fluid and pretty good overall.
You can tone down the contour lines, but it still looks cartoony with this cell shading effect.
So far it's a rehash of Commandos/Desperados/Robin Hood - i.e. your typical green view cone game, with the same characters (fragile thief, tanky brawny guy, sniper - at least that what you got in demo).
The demo levels are very linear and short and leaning heavily on the story, but I guess those are supposed to work as tutorial levels in the main game. I'll laugh my ass of, if the guy that we meet just before talking to shogun will pull a sudden betrayal/will become the villain.
Overall it's pretty meh, but what can we do - replay Commandos/Desperados/Robin Hood for the n-th time?
Hell yes, we can. But like Morgoth said - I'll probably buy it with 50% discount, as their asking price (40 dorraru) is a little bit too much.
Oh, I'd forgot - the gameplay is not that bad, as the action trailers would have us believe.
