Richard of PopCults.com writes "Playable on both the PSP and Vita (thankfully), Black Rock Shooter: The Game is well worth the $19.99 you will spend on it. Though it runs a little on the short side, the story and voice acting (all in Japanese) are spot on and incredibly well presented. Some people are going to bitch about the visuals, but action RPG fans should have no qualms about playing this game."
