Not fun, the story is cool, but not nearly cool enough for me not to return my copy.
This is exactly how I felt. I loved the story, and the premise is beautiful, but the gameplay is downright appalling. You just kind of mash the button, and you never really switch weapons at all.
The environments are really boring, and there's no real combo system to speak of, so you basacially just mash the attack button, heal when you have to, rinse and repeat.
Maybe volumes 2-4 change things up? Because I found Volume 1 to be fun, until it just became a chore to keep playing, and I lost my interest in volumes 2-4.
