It's good but... I pre-ordered this game and besides the fact that I can't read japanese I figured my way around easily. It's the gameplay, it's tactics then hack and slash which I don't mind but then, in musou mode you have to fight Lu Bu which is a stupid idea that you can't move around him, unless you can and I'm just dumb.
