Azur Lane Crosswave review

A very simplistic and repetitive third-person arena shooter which just goes to show that if you're planning to have someone develop a spin-off of your silly warship waifu collector, you shouldn't turn to Compile Heart (of "Hyperdimension Neptunia" fame/infamy), because they apparently don't understand that a gameplay style which works for a mobile gacha timesink doesn't necessarily work for a 10 hour long home-console title you're actually supposed to play actively. Fans of the original may get a kick out of the many fanservice-heavy dialogue sequences, but anyone else will want to steer clear.

Final rating: 6.1/10
