User reviews & Ratings

the port is ok but there are several issues you need to know about before playing: 1. easy anti-cheat 2. mouse controls are abysmal, they're not real raw input for some reason, but right stick analog emulation. i played like this on the vita3k emulator with a controller emulator (reWASD), i was hoping to not have to experience this again the last stealth patch fixed the mouse controls! it's raw input now! you can flail the mouse around all you want, no arbitrary speed restrictions! yay! 3. english voice acting for humans is ok but the robot voices constantly mispronounce words. you can switch to japanese in-game, but it only changes human voices - TTS will still be english unless you do some specific steps with game files to have japanese TTS. sadly it locks you out of multiplayer. speaking of multiplayer... 4. it's region locked. make sure to change steam download servers to something like US or Japan. Tokyo has the most players. EU servers are abandoned. 5. apparently, the main cause for crashes, stutters and bad performance of this game seems to be newest version of Windows 11. the game will work just fine on Windows 10. of course the game is still to be blamed for this but at least something is known also fixed in the latest patch! for people with 60hz+ monitors: 6. 60 fps is nice and much better than the original 30fps framerate cap on the vita (and on switch lmaooo) but there is no higher framerate available. for now use loseless scaling or something if you really want 120fps (frame gen) for people with ultrawide monitors: 7. no ultrawide monitor support. just 16:9, black bars. otherwise, it's exactly the same game, mostly. there are improvements to sound design, asset quality and gameplay systems have been changed to be less grindy. i think a few patches and this might be a great port. for now, it's a passable pretty good one.

Edit 2: 50 hours in. I still have had flawless stability and performance without a single crash or other issue. The game is great. Are there things I wish they had changed or updated for this release? Of course there is, but I'm more than happy with what we got. This is Freedom Wars as you remembered, with a streamlined weapon upgrade system and a bit of balance tweaks so that impact weapons aren't a requirement. The game looks great for a remaster of a portable title. The characters are well designed with interesting clothing, unique personalities and in battle your companions each have their own quirks. Some will be much more inclined to help you when you go down, whereas others are far more aggressive and will constantly try to sever parts from abductors. The music is fantastic, and several tracks produced as in-universe idol music were added to the game that have been released over the years in collaboration with the original release. I sincerely hope that this game performs well enough financially to warrant a sequel, as it is simply criminal that one hasn't been made yet. The story itself is surprisingly good but ends on a giant reveal that is itself a cliffhanger. A sequel built to modern standards would be absolutely incredible. And that's it. The game is fun and worth the money. Short Edit at 17 hours played: The game is better than it has ever been. The community has discovered however that Windows 11 version 24H2 is what is causing all the crashing and stability issues. I have 23H2, have not crashed once and have only had a single frame drop in all the time I've played. If anything I recommend this game even more now. Once I've completed the story and a chunk of endgame I will update once again. As it stands, buy this game, but revert to 23H2 if you are unfortunate enough to have gotten 24H2 before microsoft froze the update. I don't understand the negative reviews. This is a direct upgrade of the original Vita game. I'm putting my review up early so as to help counter the surge of misinformed negative reviews. First things first, the "AI" voices. I don't know when we, as a society, became so stupid that we can't differentiate between AI and simply decades old text to speech. The developers made a very smart design decision to use a text to speech engine for the robotic, ironically in universe AI characters in the game to make them seem more authentically robotic. Their speech is supposed to sound artificial, halting and to mispronounce some of the words. Not only does this make Accessories and Percy Propa seem more authentic as robotic characters, it also helps the player differentiate immediately between characters that are human and those that are AI. Using text to speech for the player's Accessory has the added benefit of allowing the Accessory to phonetically speak your character's name. As for the performance issues that people have had, my only question is what in the world are they running for hardware? The game ran better than perfect for me right from the rip at 4k60. Wtf are people doing for their PC's to be running so badly that they can't run this game. Either that, or there is a bug that is effecting their particular hardware. For reference, I am running an 11900k, a 3080ti and 32gb of ram. The game is installed on a standard ssd. Finally, as little as I have played I can already say that this is the superior version of Freedom Wars. It runs great, looks and sounds good and controls better than ever. i will update this review if and when I feel like it once I've put more time into the game. Until then, know that so far I love it and would recommend it to anyone not trying to run the game on their grandmother's HP from '92.

Well, I managed to somehow make it to the beginning of the end game, so now is as good as any to give my two cents on this game. Regarding bugs, the reason why some people have crash issues with this game has to do with the latest windows 11 update version 24h2. This system and Easy Anti-Cheat do not get along and will cause games that use kernal level anti-cheat protection to crash. Be advised before purchasing this game and check your Windows version. Onto the game. TLDR: Whether or not you like this game is entirely dependent on whether you like monster hunter type games or not. If you are a fan of that genre of games, this game is going to be your kind of shaz. If you don't like MonHun games, this game is a pass. Regarding the remaster. I've got this game on the Vita. The port is a pretty good one. They updated the graphics. The story is the same. The controls were pretty intuitive to use with my xbox controller. Sound is decent. People complain about the A.I "voice acting", but those idiots never played the original freedom wars. There is no AI voice acting in this game, that is just text-to-speech and it was in the original game too. A valid complaint regarding sound would be the use of English voice acting for your accessory even if you swapped the game's audio to Japanese. This is annoying, but not game-breaking. One change about this game is the fact that they reduced the randomization involved with crafting weapons. You don't need to spam crafting or mess around with plots to get the weapon you want anymore. Instead, get the weapon and slot in the modules you want to modify it to your needs. They also adjusted the modifications for the game (m class modules are roughly equal to s class modules in the original, but they added XL sized modules to compensate). How this affects growth rates of the weapon (remember late-bloomers?) is currently unknown. Also, elemental weapons were adjusted. You can no longer have two max elements on one weapon anymore. Elemental weapons now restrict you to use only one element on an elemental weapon. Impact (green) weapons restrict you to half of the total elements of an elemental weapon, but you can have two elements plus impact. Be advised. The game could use some updates, but all the complaints about the game crashing are likely to be almost 100% user error. Do your research before updating your OS. Steam literally tells you this game uses EAC, which requires kernal level access to the OS. I suspect that once this issue is fixed, more people will buy this game and online play will hopefully get better. Overall, a pretty good game. I liked it, but it has some small issues here and there. I liked the randomization of weapon crafting in the original, for instance. Overall score: 8/10 -Pretty good. it's worth considering.

Preliminary review - but no crashes or technical issues when playing on Steam Deck. The game looks exactly as I remember, but in reality there are quite a lot of improvements in fidelity and gameplay. Higher resolution textures, re-rendered cinematics, twice the frame rate, small gameplay tweaks and a new Deadly Sinner difficulty mode. They also restored content and functionality that was removed in the global Vita release. In the Japanese Vita version they used text to speech to generate the voices for certain characters and you were able to write custom dialogue lines for your accessory to speak during gameplay. They removed this for the global release and replaced it with pre-recorded lines, this has now been restored and makes this version of the game much more faithful to the original vision of the creators. The human characters still use traditional voice acting, and we can now choose to play the game with an all-new English dub. The game holds 60 on Steam Deck with the TDP reduced to 10, all graphical settings maxed. I recommend this to anyone who loves Monster Hunting games and wants a fresh take on it. This is one of those instances where fans should show up and vote with their wallet, the prospect of Freedom Wars 2 is too good.

I loved this on the Vita so I feel I should clear something up. There is no AI or machine learning based voice acting in Freedom Wars. The mascot character and your Accessory use Text-to-Speech, Bonzi Buddy for example uses this. This is also why at the start when you fill in your name, the game has you hear how it'll sound. You will see many reviews claim they added AI voice acting, but it's just TTS so don't panic.
