Having only recently gotten into Gust games through Ar Nosurge Plus and Atelier Escha and Logy Plus, I was really hyped for Nights of Azure; Gust's first action RPG. Gust's games tend to impress wit

Great story; Amazing soundtrack; Interesting combat mechanics

Too easy; Inconsistent visuals

Gust, the brains behind the Atelier series, returns with Nights of Azure representing a new, darker direction for Gust. While the Atelier series mostly embodies a very light-hearted, happy-go-lucky, and innocent ambience, for Gust to present a game that boasts to be darker and grittier is quite...

cooler; darker ambience; character interactions & development; accessibility/simplicity; straightforward and concise; not pressured to commit your life

not challenging enough; lack of customization/variability

Nights of Azure is an example a very decent game that could have been great given more time and money.

Nights of Azure on the PlayStation 4 is fun anime!

Pre-ordered this kind of on a whim a few months ago and it just came out yesterday. Got to playing it today and ended up being quite pleased with the decision. It's the first game in a long time where I could sit down for hours on end and be entertained the whole time.

Nights of Azure is a tragic tale of two friends faced with impossible decisions that will test their loyalty to their quest and to each other.

As a general rule, RPGs are my favorite games to play. I like to find a game with an intriguing story, one that you keep on playing simply because you want to find out what happens next. However, it also has to have decent gameplay or I will get bored of doing the same thing over and over.

At the start Nights of Azure can seem promising but the more you play, the more you realize it is a tad shallow. Collecting Servans can be fun but is ultimately not really needed due to how overpowered your own character can get.

Gorgeous art design; great soundtrack; wonderful relationship between the two main characters

Repetitive combat; bland and unoriginal story; so much unrealised potential

Nights of Azure is the type of game where the screenshots end up looking better than the game itself. This isn't to say the game is bad; on the whole it is decent, but weighed down by many little issues and falling short of what could have been based on the material it was working with.
