On top of that there are a whole host of mini games, events, and wardrobe options that also add a bit more substance to the overall gameplay experience. The opening and ending themes I could live without, the vocalist is just a bit too upbeat for my tastes. But the opening and credits scenes were animated by Studio DEEN and boy are they crisp. I must say, this is a huge step up from their first game in terms of content and quality. Not only does the game feature a full English voice cast, some of which have worked on some pretty big anime voice over gigs. Though there are a few Easter eggs here and there, for anyone who played the first game. The funny thing is Backstage Pass has absolutely nothing to do with RE: Alistar. So when I saw that they were working on a spiritual successor to RE: Alistar I was over the moon. I played SakeVisual’s first game, RE:Alistar ages ago, and I absolutely loved it.
