Army Corps of Hell makes a hell of a first impression (sorry). The action-oriented crowd-control gameplay is easy to grasp, and is bolstered by incredible Frazetta-esque artwork and the most ridiculous Japanese metal soundtrack, ranging from squealy-guitar style to grumbly-voice style.
Over time, the hellish nature of the PlayStation Vita launch game reveals itself. You do the same tasks over and over again, fighting the same enemies with the same strategies. You see the same artwork after every stage. You’re forced to listen to the same metal songs over and over again, sometimes for 20 minutes at a time. What was originally enjoyable becomes a grueling trial in its repetition, much like in that classic work of literature, Treehouse of Horror IV.
