Edens Zero really is a game made for existing fans, specifically those who aren't too picky about their gameplay.

EDENS ZERO is a cosmic adventure that captures the style and heart of its anime roots, but stumbles on polish and depth. It is a flawed game that still manages to be an endearing one.

Superfans of the series might find something to love if they dig deep enough – but Konami's Edens Zero, more than anything, is another grim reminder of the unrealized potential of anime-based video games.
