60 of 76 · most liked firstThe art style by KYO Kuroichigo looked gorgeous, and the setting appeared promising from the trailer, so I gave "Mind Zero" a shot. I'm a huge fan of visual novels and anime, and usually, I don't particularly mind if a port is a little rough around the edges. However, with "Mind Zero", Aksys Games don't even have the bare basics down. The game is locked at the internal PS Vita resolution, with no option to adjust it. You can run it in full screen, but that will just scale it, making it quite a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm trying so hard to like this game... On the positive side, it's a fun, fairly traditional turn-based JRPG dungeon crawl. Whilst the mechanics aren't staggeringly original, there's a nice balance in how much you're prepared to spend for the bigger skills, and each fight can reward you with bonuses depending on how you fought, which can encourage certain tactical choices you'd otherwise dismiss. The character art is good, in a Visual Novel style, and the splash CGs are well done. Voice…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I might keep playing this to see if it gets better, but right now even for the on sale price I'm feeling a bit ripped off. It seems similar to Persona, and there seems to be some promise there, but there is so much getting in the way. I had to randomly hit keys to figure out how to get to the settings menu (the Z key is your A button, btw) where I could find the rest of the keys. The fullscreen option did not apply right away, and only showed up after a restart. The 'transitions' between…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mind Zero is a game that revolves around a bunch of high school kids and their powers called MIND's. I decided to give the game a go as the idea looked interesting, but after 11 hours in I'm calling it quits. I made it to the end of dungeon 4 before I stopped, which will be reflected in this review. Game World: The world of Mind Zero is interesting, minds are causing problems, police are investigating it, and you have been roped into things. Sadly, after the first hour or so introduction, you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Класс!! GOOT GAMES!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm going to see the game through to the end but in my personal opinion here are my pros and cons so far. At the moment i do not recommend this escpecially with its current price tag but maybe that will change as i get further in. Pros Interesting story. Decent character concepts. Fully voiced. Cons Bland character design. Dungeons look like walking around that old maze screensaver from the early windows days. Combat can use some work. When you get hit, it is literally the enemy attacking…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game shamelessly borrow various bits from the 7th Dragon, Etrian Odyssey, and Persona series, and use those bits very well to tell its own story. It brings nothing new to the JRPG scene, but it's a solid game on its own. 7/10, recommended if you like anime a lot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →lol,have nothing change from vita version.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mind Zero is actually one of my favourite games. It's a really good Dungeon Crawler with Visual Novel elements and a pretty amazing story. I finished the PS Vita version some time ago and replay it now on steam. There are many people out there having some technical issues, especially with the controllers, but mine is working just fine. It also works in fullscreen, so the port is good enough for me. To point out a few things I like about it: - more of a dark story, like the old Persona games…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No control adoptation to PC. Bland character developement system. Mediocre in every other aspect. Not worth the time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →❌ Extremely bare-bones port. No graphics settings options. Internal resolution is locked, 3D graphics looks terrible, you can't force increase resolution. 30 FPS lock ❌ Characters have weird straight lines on their neck ❌ Game-play is turn-based dungeon crawler, but it's extremely bland and gets repetitive quickly with little variety. Game is difficult and also is extremely grindy ❌ No way to load save file inside game ❌ Controls are crappy. Keyboard controls sucks. Even when using controller,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played the Vita version quite a bit, and am now 2 hours into this one. Outside of the resolution stuff that others have brought up, this is a fine port. The game itself is super underrated, unfortunately (and unfairly) being compared to Persona. If you're looking for a visual novel with DRPG gameplay, with a solid--albeit it somewhat formulaic--story and characters, a great soundtrack, and a really, REALLY excellent dub, then you'll probably really enjoy the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very bad port. -Game doesn't recognize my X360 Controller. -Game doesn't work in fullscreen. -In battle i have.... Black Screen and UI. Nice port, Aksys Games! Very nice!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my MIND is telling me yes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game starts off extremely strong. You have a wide range of characters that are extremely well written, and they play off one another in a very endearing way. I was completely engrossed in the interactions and loved what they presented. The problem is the game never changes. Once you hit the Necronomicon dungeon and fight the oddly spiked difficulty in the boss fight, that's it. That's literally the rest of the game: You slog through a slow dungeon, fight enemies that are random bullet…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow.. Neither my Xbox One controller or my keyboard works on this game. The only thing that works is hitting the "Play Now" button on Steam to launch the game. SMH.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I havn't play this game much, but it is a ok game, so far the battle system is ok, the characters are kind of neat and interesting, the storyline is interesting, the game is good and i have no problem playing a ps vita game. Downfall is that I should of got this game for the ps vita since i own one. The thing I have the most problem with this game is that it has no resolution settings, it has no xbox "one" controller support. I have to use my xbox 360 controller, and luckly I have one around.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent classic dungeon crawler with a couple cool combat mechanics that suffer from a lazy vita port and currently broken achievements. The Good Nothing mind blowing but original combat system. Multiple available skills that constantly drop from battles to equip your characters how you want. Both English and Japanese voices. Not overly complex dungeon maps and not too simple either. ( at least in the first few hours I played. ) The Bad You can either play in a very…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really bad port of this game, as a fan of SMT/Persona or Falcom games, i'm really disappointed. My controller is not supported (8bitdo).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So fat from what I can see, the game originally came out for the PSVita back in 2014. The game is so earily similar to the Persona series, that I would definitely believe it to be made by the same people if you told me that. But from what I can say, the port of this game from Vita to PC seems to be a bit rushed, having a few minor issues graphically, and only one resolution. Also the game starts in windowed mode, which is extremely unexpected, and the whole game was made to be played with an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i want to like it, Legit can't figure controls out enough to get to the menus and fix the abomination
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: 1. You can save everywhere 2. You can skip fight animations 3. Setting passive/active skills and getting them via cards is not that bad idea Cons: Although general idea is not bad, game itself is extremely boring, story advancing is no less boring, events feel like they just try to increase gameplay time (and make no sense) I don't say anything about visuals, it doesn't affect gameplay in any way (also game's from Vita) Don't buy it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have Mind Zero on steam and am not able to play it. The game starts windowed and reacts oddly to my mouse controls and doesn't react at all to my controller input. When I try to go to the settings to put it into fullscreen I have to click not on, but under the buttons to click on them. Following that I have no idea how to actually confirm anything in the settings menu. Enter, space, esc... not a single command seems to do anything. I have sent and email to the publisher today (25 march…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite what everyone is saying. I think the game is great and it's worth a playthrough ^^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →only for those who can tolerate bad ports
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is pretty much Persona but ♥♥♥♥. And on top of that, the PC port is terrible, with no graphical options beyond windowed/fullscreen and locked 30fps (not really important for this type of game, but it drives my point home), and the mouse is apparently need to get past some parts even if you use a controller. Persona 4 Golden is a few clicks away from this and costs the same amount of money. Only a fool would prefer this over that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →another lazy garbage port run abandon by aksys they need to be kicked off steam and sued
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I heard this game was a persona clone but i decided to give it a go anyways. From the first minutes of the game, you can tell thimgs are from persona three just by the look of the charaters and settings. Even though young and old decitives, School rumors, Egor. Also i have had trouble with getting my gamepad to work and it looks like theres no fixing it. Persona 4 on the PS2 looked better, artwise and gameplay. It look like they didnt put much heart into it. It looks rushed and unpolished.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mind Zero is a curious game, it might be a bit unfairly compared to a persona game, but while it is not completly wrong, isn´t also correct. It have a bit slow start, but once you past the initial moments, things do start to improve. The port is ok, not amazing, kind limited, but ok. The dungeons do have some cleaver designs, but the art a few times could use some improvement.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like visula novels a jrpg/dungeon crawlers this is the game for you, just don't expect persona 3/4
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is pretty much a persona game. School boy/girl obtains mystic power and fights. Though I haven't gotten far, I will say that I find the game's story interesting especially in the first few minutes. I will update my review at a later date. P.S I don't own any sony consoles (Apart from a PS2) thus I enjoy that games like these get ports.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is typical oldschool jrpg with great soundtrack, and i am here for it. Reminded me of the days, when i was playing persona 1 for the first time. Most negative reviews, because port is kinda lame, it could be better, but i bought this game with 80% discount, so i dont complain
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not a bad game per say but there are a lot of cons like -translators arksys (they like to butcher japanese text and add in modern day slangs and such) -bad vita port -cant change resolution -it feels abandoned no updates no guides by the fans how to fix this port -no cloud saves -blurry *here is some goods -story is good -if u like grind like realy like it like me u would like this game :D -??? fun :D thanks for comming to my ted talk :P
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ Dual Audio (English and Japanese audio) + Some Character designs are interesting +/- Random Monster Encounting Dungeon - Horrible Sound Effects - Horrible PC port (You'll NEED a gamepad/controller and download a software called Xpadder) - Boring Story - Horrible and Confusing Story Telling - Boring Gameplay - Cheesy Dialogue - Game HUD is so horrible, it looks like it was made in 1990 - English Voice Actors sound lazy or tired - Some Character Images are poorly cropped in. You can see small…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →there's always been something about accessories that really appealed to me
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its Persona 4, if the gameplay; was WORSE and more convoluted than persona 1. furthermore, the story and characters are so close to persona 3&4, it is a wonder no one got sued. in short, it is the actual "persona without the heart" same ideas(and aesthetic), just barely changed to mascarade as a different game. with half the quality and twice the tedium.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am torn over whether I liked this game or not. There were some moments where I genuinely enjoyed this game. Despite what people say, the plot is quite good. About 1/3 through the game, unexpected twists start popping up. The story was interesting enough to push through to the end. I even started getting a little attached to one or two of the characters. The art style is really good (except for that annoying little white bar across some of the character portraits.... like really people?) and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It seems to show controller support, but the controller doesn't work with it. (Xbox 360 Afterglow Controller) The voice acting seems off, I don't really recommend this game unless it's on sale or you get it as a gift.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most boring game I've ever payed for. As a fair warning: Don't buy it, because its a waste of your time and money. It doesn't get interesting as time goes on either- It simply gets worse. The graphics are very nice, and the fight mechanics are fairly interesting. However, the story and voice acting (mainly English voice acting) isn't really good at all. I would try a different approach to the story line. That might help.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: in the end, I do not recommend this. Story gets boring after awhile, you cannot change weapons or upgrade, every enemy are almost the same thing. The grind. Request refund. ------------ I am not the type of person to write reviews... Espeically public ones but I just had to write my own opinion on this. A game... Where you spam your keyboard just to find which key is what.... and.... To FINALLY find out how to acess the key config and set it to your preference(and spamming buttons and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Everything is a spoiler" Essentially it is a good game Only one problem the ending Basically this game doesn't want you to feel satisfied. Lets just say everything goes to ♥♥♥♥ for no reason *EDIT* Would I buy it again? Yes Even if only for the music (MUSIC IS GREAT (at times)) However if you want the any closure after finishing the game. I suggest you look elsewhere
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Spoilers alert! I'm 80% through the game and here are my thoughts. I originally greenlite this game because I hoped to feel the rollercoaster of emotions that I experienced when I first played Persona 3. Sadly, Mind Zero pales in comparison to any game of the Shin Megami Tensei series. My problem with this game is that they tried hard to copy the Persona series but failed to emulate its writing, character development, and gameplay. In short, the story is rather a blander version of P3, with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, bad port. There is no exit button, don't recognize my controller... Not good to buy in it's current version...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mind Zero is a Japanese role-playing game developed by ACQUIRE Corp. in collaboration with Zerodiv and published on PC by Aksys Games, offering a hybrid experience that blends first-person dungeon crawling with anime-styled storytelling and turn-based combat. Originally conceived for handheld hardware, the game carries a distinctly old-school sensibility, drawing inspiration from classic grid-based RPGs while attempting to modernize the formula through character-focused narrative and layered…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It seems to run fine for me (no obvious glitches or crashing) but has sections that want a touchscreen interface. I could not get those to react with any button on the keyboard, or my controller. Edit to the above, it seems to work fine on Steam Deck, but I am leaving it as a negative because it does not work on PC (touchscreen is very much needed)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Picked it up to scratch the Persona itch before they were out on PC. The itch was not scratched
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this on the PS Vita and I really loved it. The 2 things I like most about the game are the music and the fighting. When I first turned on the game and I watched the awesome intro, I knew I was going to love this game. All the music in the game is great, except maybe the optional dungeon at the end. The battles are fun and sometimes very challenging. There are a lot of things to think about when you are setting up your strategy, especially for boss fights. The voice acting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: I'm ammending my review slighlty. I was looking for a dungeon crawler to scratch and itch and this was the best unfinished one I came up with in my library. There is still a lot wrong with it and it's very grind heavy and exposition heavy (they took the concept of "show don't tell" and turned it around). However, if you fast forward through all the exposition, the dungeon crawling bits aren't bad. Still, do not buy at full price, not worth it. Poor man's Persona (very poor man's). Only…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible VN and JRPG merged together, it just tries to be a generic persona clone with no soul. unless you have better things to play, give it a pass
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is interesting and I would like to keep on playing it, but the game requires Xbox controller. Only if the game had PC support, I would upvote this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SMT if it wasn't good. ...Okay, it's fine. But just "fine". Save it for when you want to play SMT but don't want to play any specific SMT game. And if you've already finished Metaphor, I guess.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →boring and generic jrpg
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game, but achievements not working
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the art is terrible and it refuses to work with my controller repeated black screens and glitchy combat if you want to play this game play it on Vita hopefully its not as ♥♥♥♥ as this port
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game seems to be working for me, i previously gave it a negative review until i messed with the configuration and made things work around it. The game froze on the default operating system configuration, so i set the game compatability towards windows 7. From there it was smooth sailing. The problem is the lack of controls, i couldnt use the steam controller and also i had to switch things around to make the game work. Most people would give the game a negative review, and i sort of did…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cant even play this game since it crashes when I try new game smh
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's good but ughhh, you need a ♥♥♥♥ ton of free time to play this rollercoaster.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I first bought the game in 2016, I could actually play it. One year later, trying to play it again. The game just keep on crashing. It either crash right before the opening song, or after you select New Game -> Language -> Difficulty, As soon loading screen shows up, it crash. Try all the solution I could find in community hub and forum, nothing works. If you really want to play this, find a Vita copy instead. Not worth wasting time on a bad port unless you are one of those lucky people…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buyer beware : it seems the game is forbidding offline mode. So if (like me) you will be offline for quite a time, you will not be able to play it.
