GR Reviewer Will Worrall says:
"There are probably people out there who will find themselves engaged by the storyline and combat, but for the most part this game is going to find it hard to keep people’s attention for very long. Although the cutscenes are great, you’ll spend most of your time looking at the children’s toy versions of each character while you play through a main plot that might actually make you insane. If you’re a fan of the series this game is a spiritual successor of, then you'll probably enjoy it. Everyone else should look elsewhere."
GD365: "Today, we have several off-the-radar game deals to highlight. All of the deals are for physical, boxed copies. Plus, there’s a deal on an Amiibo Super Smash Bros. Series Figure (Zelda) from Japan."
Some games have a rather unusual way of conveying information and taking people on an adventure, and we then see that mechanic mimicked. Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution and GuitarFreaks led to games like Pump It Up and Guitar Hero. Tri-Ace’s Valkyrie Profile is a similar sort. It’s an RPG, but blends in platforming and a more active interface for engaging in attacks. But, as interesting as its ideas were, they didn’t really influence other games at the time. Rather, it took years for other titles to start picking up on the concepts and attempting to integrate them into their own experiences.
It's such a tired concept to have a lot of people get killed on Earth and then be granted immortality by a god, along with massive combat prowess. Exist Archive represents yet another iteration of this incredibly common idea.
