She is joined on her quest by Altis, an angelic girl who lost her right to be a demon due to unintentionally doing good instead of evil and Ryuto who upon meeting Chou-Chou was captivated by her, handed her his G-Castle and became her loyal and devoted vassal. The eight forms in total all play a role gameplay wise but as to who you select will not impact the storyline at all. Chou-Chou has a total of 7 alter egos that take the form of different personalities and can be switched during the game. Mugen Souls follows the story of Chou-Chou, a petite girl who claims to be the Undisputed God and plans to conquer each of the seven worlds in the galaxy – each of which have been named ( originally) after the Japanese days of the week ( Sun, Moon, Fire, Water, Tree, Metal and Soil). So… given the possibility to now give the game a finalized grade how did it fare? Read on to find out. Instead the key focus will be on the English localization work done by NIS America which was not targetted in the original review.

That being said, as I have already reviewed the game, elements such as gameplay which were touched upon in the previous review will not be of focus here. While the game had some issues it still walked away with a B+ as it provided an overall enjoyable experience akin to other recent Compile Heart titles including Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk.2 ( Especially) and Trinity Universe. Back in April 2012 I wrote an almost full-review of the game based on the Japanese release which I encourage you to read HERE. While the game may not appeal to those whose RPG-diet consists primarily on mainstream RPG’s such as the Final Fantasy series, those who have become acquainted with NIS America’s more unique RPG releases over the years will feel right at home with their latest English-localized release – Mugen Souls.
