I've managed to equip both a sword and a gun, with the gun automatically firing at things (I think it's my Mag doing it, but I'm not sure) and the sword setting fire to things. Even so, I have to hit some things many times before they go down.
I really like the story missions in this game now I've got into it. Having others join you on quests is well done, particularly once I realised that others will heal themselves if left long enough. The main issue I've hit is that as sword-wielder, attacks from flying enemies can be hard to avoid. This was brought home by a boss character hovering above the playing field, which I was unable to hit (other than by my automatic gun) except for the rare occasion he landed. When he did land, I could only hit his hands and tail. The hints that his wings were the weak point didn't really help. After ten minutes of grinding away he went down, though.
This has monopolised my handheld gaming for a week now, which is quite amazing given the competition. It's more clunky than PSO, and the weapons system seems more complex (I can't understand where the gun is coming from, for example), but it's possible by large to just overlook that and hit things. Which, on a morning commute, is just what you want.
