Wasted a great gimmick – Code of Arms Review

The gimmick of getting items through barcodes sounded cool, and I sure spent quite a time digging through my father's house scanning everything I could find a barcode on, but once I sorted through my new horde of items, guessed what was best, and started the game, it turned out to be junk. The game's battle mechanics are confusing and unexplained, and there's no stats or any sense of permanent improvement or progress. Cool gimmick, wasted.
