"There is no doubt that if you want a wacky RPG experience, then the Japanese are the masters at delivering such bizarre concepts and stories for the genre. Compile Heart, who are teaming up with Nippon Ichi Software again, are no strangers to adding weirdness to the genre. Gamers might have heard of Hyperdimensional Neptunia or its sequel Hyperdimensional Neptunia MK2 (reviewed here), which had the plot revolve around characters based on game consoles and handhelds, and used the console wars as a foundation for its story. Compile Heart are back with their brand of weirdness with a new Japanese RPG (JRPG) titled Mugen Souls, but this time, problems get in the way that hamper the overall experience of this eccentric title."

EastAsiaSoft brings Mugen Souls to the Nintendo Switch. This turn-based JRPG follows the traditional JRPG model of taking a party out into the wild.
Mugen Souls was a PS3 game created by Compile Heart and published by NIS America that gives strong Disgaea vibes and has been updated and ported to the Switch.
Eastasiasoft has revealed that are partnering with Idea Factory to bring anime-style JRPG Mugen Souls to Nintendo Switch. The Mugen Souls Nintendo Switch digital version is expected to launch in spring 2023 with physical editions available for pre-order later this week.
Haven't seen a really positive review for this game yet - one to avoid.
Meh, I still want to play it. I'll see what it is like for myself.
I seem to be repeating myself when talking about these kind of games that some western media just simply do not understand.
Is the game catered to everyone? Of course not but just because it does not cater to everyone does not mean it is bad. The game is 'EXTREMELY' Japanese in its presentation & premise so some of the dialogue & themes may be confusing to 'western' audiences. However if you are a fan of slap-stick anime troupes than this game is a good addition to your library.
Am i saying there are no faults. Of course there are faults in the game like the slowdown but this is a game not here to showcase graphical prowness. It is suppose to be adorable, mindless fun. I do not see the complaints that western media give when a game is distinctly Japanese, for having 'Moe' characters, pantyshots, over the top storylines & sexual inuendoes cause all of this is normal for a majority of anime. There is NOTHING wrong with that!!
I am enjoying it a whole lot cause it does not take itself seriously. Personally it is a solid 7/10 game.
