If the real treasure is the friends we made along the way, how come we barely get to know them? If you're familiar with the campaign of Fate/Grand Order or Nikke: Goddess of Victory, this premise and story structure should sound very familiar. You have your base to build, a helpful advisor who gives you a tutorial, and spots on the map you have to tap to either dig for materials or fight other players. All the cutscenes or dialogue segments are built around getting you from one battle to the next, occasionally taking breaks to interact with your crew. So how do they make thatwork as a movie? The short answer: They don't. While Xhosa's narration at least makes for a coherent recap, it's of an anime season that never existed. Characters come and go minutes after they're introduced, plot points are told rather than shown, and battles amount to nothing more than their opening and finishing moves. Even with what seem like additional clips, the result is a video game story with all the gameplay removed.
