I wouldn't say shitty, I enjoyed it on the Vita but the resemblance to Persona 4 is uncanny.

This took how long? 2 years since the GL?

This is still alive? They announced this a year ago and I figured it was dead.

There are plenty of reviews out there for the Vita version:

It's not a very good game. Repetitive dungeons with few enemy types (and countless color swaps), annoying battle systems, unresolved story and pretty tropey overall. It's also rather ugly and has some terrible sound design.
The official character art is pretty damn good, but the ingame character portrays for the story sequences, which were done by a different artist, are mediocre.
In short, if you#re going to buy it go in with very low expectations.

I couldn't finish it. Ended up trading it in. It was simply just unfun.

Doesn't this end on a huge cliffhanger with no sequel in sight, years later?

No one can tell me that they wanted this very game on PC over something else.
Something tells me Aksys first tries with Steam will not go too well. They decided to bring this and Xblaze Code: Embryo.
Yup... I guess the hope was that people liked the game to then fund a sequel.

Of all the games Aksys could choose to port to PC....

I have a feeling they're not much involved in the actual ports of the games and just function as the publisher because of their relationship with the devs. Acquires port of Akiba's Trip was completely their own thing as well.
Might be wrong though

Maybe, JUST MAYBE this is their first crack at publishing and porting something over to steam since the licensing is cheap or something, rather than expecting big numbers they just want to put stuff out now, get some numbers maybe, and use the learned skills and whatnot for the future.
This isn't me being too optimistic about why they chose to do it right?

Pretty much. It's hilariously shameless about stealing stuff from Persona 4. That being said, it's only on the plot side. It's nothing like persona in combat and doesn't have Persona 3+4's sim aspects.
The combat has interesting ideas in it, but the game needed a lot more budget love.
This game had potential to be great, even if most of it's story is copied from Persona.
But, it's a bland DRPG. The story isn't good. The battle system isn't enough to keep someone interested.
If anything, it's a by the book game and you can find something much better to sink 40 hours (like Trails in the Sky).

Unless it's priced at 10 dollars or less, it wont get beyond 5k of sales. The game is known for being bad and low budget. And its released 2 years later.

Oh boy now I can buy not Persona again.
Does Aksys have any real control over anything interesting? As others have said, seems to be out of their control, either because other publishers want to move it forward, or developers/publishers that are just going to publish games themselves without their involvement.
Like Spike Chunsoft published Danganronpa themselves so I imagine things like Zero Escape would be under their perview rather than Aksys.

Arc Sys fighting games make Aksys a lot of money.

wowowowowow
wont be able to unsee mr cabbage lover and ace detective now
Yeah but they don't port them to Steam, typically they are self published on PC and Aksys is uninvolved. I was asking if they have actual control over anything notable (as in, it couldn't go ahead without their approval).
Oh, you were talking about Steam. Aksys is an independent company, all their games are from other companies, meaning that if they chose to publish those games on Steam directly, Aksys would be MIA.

Did they choose the worst games in the catalog? I tried Xblaze demo and it was simply terrible. Doesn't Mind Zero end on a big cliffhanger?
It does, but it's not like the game is awesome and the cliffhanger will make you go nuts.
