-Edit- I want to preface this review with a tag that I am only recommending (Thumbs up) this game based on the fanboy that I am, in hopes that it improves beyond what it was a few months ago in the Ruby only game. If it continues at that growth, I believe it will be an excellent game in about a year's time. That said, I understand that my love of the show can potentially blind me to features and things I don't see, but as such, I am being as fair as I can with that said in my critique of the game. I do not need the comments pointing such things out. I understand that it goes against the "Fair review" idea, but being an adamant fan of the show, it can be difficult to be 100% unbiased. -End edit- On Day 1, I'm writing my first impressions for this game, as I'm a huge RWBY fanboy and love the series and what it's all about. That in mind, please read this review knowing that despite my fandom, I will criticize where necessary with regards to what I see. This is early access, and this is still day 1 only. Gameplay revolves around a specific character (Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long) and their specific movesets. Each controls a little differently, but it boils down to this: You have one button that is your melee based attack, one button that is a ranged based attack, and you can string combos by spamming the primary button over and over until satisfied. Or you can feel frisky and push your secondary button while in the middle of a combo to "Finish" the combo with a ranged attack and drop out of it. You have a "Dodge" button with your shift key. Finally, as far as movesets go, you have 3 special moves, unique to each character that defines them. Some have ranged projectiles, some have area of effect wave clear sets. You have to try them to see what they do, and once you do, you'll find out that your melee basic attack ends up doing better than the specials in 95% of circumstances. You gain experience from killing monsters, collecting items, and completing objectives. As you level, you'll unlock very basic things like extra special attacks, improved specials, and the like. The specials can be improved by either gaining the ability to charge them to do more damage, getting a new effect, or other traits. Other unlocks can be your aura (Health) recharging faster or... That's about it right now. And since we're on that topic - You have health. You won't realize this because you'll stun-lock all enemies you come across with melee or ranged attacks, but if there's more than 5-6 of them on you, you'll go from full to death in a matter of seconds. The balance of health is already an issue, as your characters (All four of them) are nimble enough to dodge a little bit to get out of harm's way, but if you get surrounded, you might as well kiss your butt goodbye. Balance issues aside with health, the game play is fun for a few minutes - The characters all have unique personalities and voice lines, and from what I can tell, are all the original voice actors. You also have Peter Port (A teacher from the academy in the show) guiding your steps through the levels to help you out and aid you. However, the game play is extremely basic. There's only three buttons you'll care about while in combat - Melee about 90% of the time, ranged attack about 5% of the time, and your dodge about 5% of the time. Beyond that, specials are only when you feel frisky or are trying to solo things and want to speed it up (I've played solo on every character and felt no worry of getting overrun until the end of the first chapter at the wave clear section). Is this game good? Honestly, not yet. Yet being that key word. There's a lot of room for improvement, as this is still day one of an early access title. Should you get it now? Ehhhh, questionable. Someone has to be a lab rat. Which lab rats should it be? Hardcore RWBY fans will adore the voice actors and the visuals, which look like they were made for the show and put into a game. Every character sounds and feels like they would in a real combat fight, and the animations are absolutely stunning. The game play is severely lacking currently, and the story is... Non-existent to be fair. I won't give you a rating yet, but I would say if you're a RWBY fan, this is a game to pick up, if only for the sheer amounts of fanboy that will happen. If you're not a fan, I would stray away for now - The game is very unfinished, but in the future may be much better. Anything can happen. As a RWBY fan, I recommend this, but don't for anyone that isn't (At the time of this review). TL:DR Pros: + RWBY cast voice actors. + Awesome sound and animations that look like they should. + Visuals are spot-on for the world of Remnant. Cons: - Extremely basic combat and no complexity - Grows boring quickly due to low mechanical necessity. - Unfinished (Early access) - No customization Sound 9.5/10, Graphics 9/10, Gameplay 2/10, recommended to (hardcore) fans *only* in current state.Show moreShow less
MAY 8TH UPDATE: Removed positive feedback about the models, removed negative feedback about movement and gameplay issues. Removed negative point about lack of single player and tutorial. All in all nothing has improved that much and they've made bad choices about the new character models. So, main immediate issues of the game: * No player progression system, no customization, etc. Characters do level up in self-contained games, but you retain nothing once the game is done. * Despite being a cooperative game, in-game experience isn't shared by the team, encouraging players to screw each other over to level faster. * Dreadful lack of different enemy types. * Can't remap controls. * Can't customize graphics options thoroughly. * Hacking through hordes of enemies doesn't feel satisfying. There's not enough enemies, and enemies have a bit too much health, and tear you to shreds too fast. Feels nothing like the trailer! * Fair amount of bugs, especially graphical. * The models of the game, originally faithful to the show, now look ugly as sin, generic anime doll models that are actually freaky to look at. This game no longer looks like a RWBY game, it looks like a generic anime action game with a low budget. But, hey, upsides: * Is early access, so one can expect huge additions to the game. * The base skeleton of the game is pretty solid. * Very responsive controls, although undocumented. For the moment! Probably not worth its full price tag. It's fun for what it is, but not 15$ fun. It's a fun 4-player hack and slash, and you should look forward to what it will look like in a few months if they actually start adding stuff, fixing issues, etc., but at the moment it's a bit lackluster. This game more than most Early Access titles really IS Early Access quality. This review will be updated when and if the game shapes up! Just to make it clear: I don't regret the purchase. I really do look forward to this being a full game. In the meantime though I can't recommend buying it without first acknowledging its downfalls and being sure you want it. And sorry, but no, I don't think "it's Early Access, you can't judge the game yet!" really flies. People are being asked to pay for it right now, not in one year, so it's important that people know what they're paying for right now.Show moreShow less
So, I've been playing this game quite a bit, and even with the many negative reviews, I bought it anyway to play with a friend. Even though I bought to play with her, I've been playing the heck out of it by myself. Is this game worth the full price? Hell no, it isn't. Buy it on sale, and if you don't like it, take you money back, simple. But, is this game fun? THIS GAME IS SO MUCH FUN, I can't even express. Sure, the game needs work, almost every game that is alive can have work to be better. Sure, this game doesn't follow the web-series storyline, but it's obvious, the animated web-series is still on work, the story is unraveling. The game is related, but it's no much of what you have seen in the anime. Overall, even the game being overpriced, because the content doesn't correspond to what you're paying, it is still a "new game", and the hell is worth to play it. Even if you buy it alone, the multiplayer is so nice (but not when the host leaves and stuff, but not a major problem), the horde mode IS SO FUN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. 10/10 would buy to see Jaune in a dress (dlc content, one day I'll buy it :'c). Still waiting for Trading Cards (hello hello, devs).Show moreShow less
I personally am a huge RWBY fan. Which is why I want this game to be great and it is to some extent. However there are some major flaws. Im going to be as constructive as I can with my criticism. PLEASE ANYONE FROM THE GRIMM ECLIPSE TEAM THAT IS READING THIS I IMPLORE YOU TO READ IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION. Anyone who has read the recent reviews see the backlash they are recieving from their recent updates. It seems at the start everyone loved it but now some people still really enjoy it while others have completely flipped their opinion. I like to say I'm somewhere in the middle. So starting with the things they need to improve or rather reimprove. (There is nothing I can say that hasn't been said a million times but it needs to be said a million more untill they fix it. * The face models- This is probably the biggest thing. I don't want to say that it ruins the game but its pretty bad. * The overall detail of the characters- This goes hand in hand with the face models. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING THE CHARACTERS TO LOOK AS MUCH LIKE THE SHOW AS POSSIBLE. If your take one thing from this review take what I just said (caps). *Grimm are damage sponges- DId grimm recieve aura all of sudden? Its so important in Hack n Slash games to not have damage sponges unless they are mini bosses or actual bosses. If you want to make it more difiicult simply add more grimm. *Improve the ability trees- The ability trees are far too barebones and some abilites aren't even worth getting. The more unique and diverse abilities you can add the more playstyles there will be. Now for the things you can add to the game. * Character interaction (IMPORTANT)- This is will definitely add to the story and replay value. Make the members of RWBY react to one another. For example, Yang makes a pun all members should have a reaction but they shouldn't all use it at once. For example in my example, Yang says her pun Weiss and Blake react to it and then Yang could even counter react to their receptions of the pun. However the next time you go through this level. Yang makes the same pun and only Ruby reacts to it. The next time you go through it nobody reacts to it since you're running a full team of Yangs. You see, it makes each playthrough unique. The longer the team can hold conversations with each other the more immersed you'll get into to it and the less it will feel like the same predetermined remarks. Sorry this one was so long its just really important. * Bosses- I think it would be really cool to see Torchwich, Cinder, etc cameo as bosses or if you want to make some new villians for the game that would be cool too. I just dont want to fight a giant mindless grimm for every boss. *Different enemy factions- I know its called grimm eclipse but maybe you could add in the white fang or again make a new faction of enemies that could call alongside the new villians. *Misc- As much as I love fighting it would be cool to see Beacon as level even if its just for a bit. For this Beacon level the fighting part could be team RWBY going up agiant team CRDl in a sparring match. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. Also of course lets get some more playable character and/or cameos from some of the other teams. Thats about it. It took me forever to write this which I hope shows you how much a care about this game. If you guys truly want to listen to the community and make the best RWBY game you can like you say you do than implement some, hopefully all of these changes. I think the RWBY communtiy can agree with me on most all of things I said. I know it must be hard making this game from the ground up. I hope this helps. EDIT: The game released and not much was changed. Putting aside my rwby bias and juding the game alone I found it quite underwhelming. However, I'd still recommend it to any rwby fan just to kill a few hours but to people who are not rwby fans I would not recommend picking it up.Show moreShow less
Odd glitch where yang has two arms, otherwise great game.Show moreShow less
This game was at its peak after the first combat update, since then it has been a steady downhill slide of bad decisions from drastically reducing the quality of the character models, to locking off actual gameplay updates behind a paywall under the guise of DLC. It is truly a shame to see a game that started as a fine (though very simple) homage to a wonderful show be ruined by a clueless developer.Show moreShow less

I really didn't want the negative reviews to be true, I'm afraid they are though. I completed this games campaign in 1 hour and 53 minutes on the second to last difficulty which you'd think would be pretty hard right? Nope just use ranged and move backwards every now and then on the character I was playing. I really like RWBY so I really tried to like this game but its just not a full game. The enemies are very similar and hard to tell apart and usually just use melee attacks with the exception of I think ONE enemy at the end of the game. Graphically the game looks nice at a glance but on closer inspection theres a bunch of problems there too, the backgrounds of the maps you run through for example are just bare and have nothing in them save 2 or 3 trees and a rock, literally A rock. On top of this there is some horrendous pop-in which is very noticeable on levels with stones on the ground where you can see them either dissapear or switch to a much lower LOD model (I'm assuming thats what they're doing) within 10 metres of your character(s). This game does have some good points however, for example the actual characters you play as look just like the actual RWBY characters and so do the enemies for the most part. The game also has some decent (not great or memorable but good enough) music but to be honest I just muted it and listen to the actual RWBY soundtrack WITH the vocals. Honestly after all the bad things in this game I can't recommend it which is a damn shame because I really wanted to like this, is it so much to ask for a good RWBY game? Oh and it has £4 DLC which adds team JNPR (Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, Hammer Girl) which if you ask me is just a ripoff in itself, especially as the game itself doesn't have enough content to actually use these new team members in. TLDR: Short campaign, graphical problems, boring scenes, bad story supported by very few good elements for way to high a price. 4/10Show moreShow less
I played the game for less than a minute and Yang made a pun... 10/10 would start this off with a Yang again.Show moreShow less
