For any Final Fantasy fan, Dissidia NT has plenty to offer, with an array of the series' best loved characters, and plenty of chaotic combat to pit them in. Unfortunately the lack of definition to those encounters, messy UI, convoluted single player progression, and a barebones selection of modes saps a good chunk of the fun away.

If you like the other Dissidia titles, I would suggest checking out Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT, but I'd temper your expectations when it comes to content. You'll blow through the story mode quickly enough, and then you'll just be left with a pretty sub-standard online experience that is definitely in need of some work.

The Final Fantasy crossover gimmick almost feels like a distraction in what remains a uniquely innovative, but also frustratingly flawed, fighting game.

Whilst there's definitely enough Final Fantasy eye candy to satisfy diehard fans, the lack of modes - and repetitive, unvaried gameplay - leaves Dissidia Final Fantasy NT a disappointing follow-up to a decent duology of portable fighters.
