Critic Reviews for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles
If you're looking for a decent, but not overly demanding action RPG, you could do a lot worse than That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Isekai Chronicles. It's a pleasant anime-based adventure, topped off with enjoyable action — but you'll need to endure some serious repetition along the way.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Isekai Chronicles strives to retell a chunk of Rimuru’s story, but does so through this medium to limited success. A relatively static presentation and repetitive combat system make this a difficult entry point for series newcomers, while fans of the series may question some of the design choices as missed opportunities to fully translate Rimuru’s adventure from page to screen.
One more by-the-numbers anime-flavoured RPG, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles turns out to be a title whose most exciting feature is its name. With its boring story, repetitive gameplay, and general lack of challenge and incentive, it's impossible to recommend this to anyone but the most die-hard of fans… and even they can find better alternatives.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime - ISEKAI Chronicles is likely to be enjoyed by fans of the franchise, but it won't wow them. It's a basic action RPG with fun 2D hack-and-slash sections that quickly become repetitive, and basic village building elements that feel underdeveloped.
It may be simple and slightly rough in some aspects but That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is still a satisfying 2D action game that will make you feel like a powerhouse, especially whenever you use your whole team to take down a hulking boss. 👺
Overall, That Time I Reincarnated As A Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is not a terrible game, it’s just a mediocre and bland one that’s purely for fans of the source material. Or if you miss the old combat system of the classic Tales Of games, but you’re better off replaying those old Tales Of games instead.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is an anime game adaption I hope can get others onboard. Although as a fan of the anime, the game contains some things I wished it didn’t, I know these were included as something needed for the story. There are also the huge leaps of time we go through in the game that had me questioning the order in which we played certain events. I wished the developers had instead placed us at other points in time and had the two arcs at another juncture, so cannon events were not spoiled. Luckily I’ve been reading the manga and light novels to know when certain events happened, but not everyone would have done that. Overall this game was a fun and joyful experience for both me and the missus. I would love for other game studios to use this game to improve themselves. If there are any developers reading this that are hoping to make an anime video game adaptation in the future, please learn from these mistakes. Don’t do this kind of story cutting. The anime fans will be grateful!
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles manages to be a fun and engaging action game on its own, and even those unfamiliar with the original work it's based on will probably be able to enjoy the experience. However, its multiple limitations mean it doesn't stand out as much within the action RPG genre as it could.
