  If you’re looking for an expansive RPG or JRPG that marries world exploration with a myriad of gameplay elements, you’re not going to find it here. But if complex, entertaining battles float your boat, and you can tolerate the lack of diversions or deviations, then you’ll be in your nostalgic element with God Wars: Future Past.

  God Wars: Future Past is a perfectly passable JRPG experience. For all the issues I have with it, I can’t really say that it was bad, just middling. For as good as the art style and setting is, the story and in combat visuals drags down these positive aspects more than anything. And while the depth in customization is phenomenal, you will have to deal with a really slow early game leveling progression and repetitive combat encounters. This game will certainly appeal to those who want an old school JRPG experience, but that’s about it. This game didn’t need to innovate, but maybe should have taken less influence from the past, and looked more towards the future.

  As a tactical JRPG that doesn’t take many risks, God Wars: Future Past doesn’t particularly stand out as a must-play title on Playstation. There’s nothing negative I can truly say about the project, nor is there anything that makes it a forty-hour reason to jump into the strategy JRPG genre for the first time. Fans that already enjoy the genre can appreciate seeing another well-crafted experience, whether they enjoy it on their television or on the portable screen of the Vita.

  Ultimately, while it's a little bit disappointing to see Kadokawa go with such a "safe" design for its return to the tactical RPG battlefield, there's enough in God Wars: Future Past's narrative and atmosphere to recommend it to someone on the lookout for a new Tactics-style title.

  6.0

  God Wars has a surprisingly cohesive job and skill system under the hood. However, the rest of the game falls short in too many places to make it an easy recommendation in the genre. If you can't get enough tactical RPGs, God Wars can be worth checking out but it's not a stand-out in the genre.

  8.0

  Although the game looks a bit dated and the story can be messy at times, God Wars: Future Past is a game that should be played by anyone who craves a great SRPG that tests your skills and knowledge of the genre. Kadokawa Games seemed to take the feedback of what they did wrong with Natural Doctrine and deliver a game that fits in well with other notable SPRG titles, while adding unique systems that allow it to stand out.
