My experience with this game has been kinda mixed, but unfortunately it disappointed me on too many levels to give it positive review. [h1] Story [/h1] The main idea of the story is not that bad and I could see it being interesting, the writing however seems really...inexperienced. The dialogues seem like they have been ripped out of a high-school essay. The information is delivered in dumps by the characters, with key information being repeated over and over again, even within the SAME chapter, as if the game expects the player to not pay any attention at all. It even generates simulated chat conversations between characters that you can read later that are literally written as summaries of what happened in the chapter. As if the game expects you to be unintelligent or it knows, that the plot of this game can get convoluted at times and even person paying attention may get lost. The characters themselves are really stereotypical (like childhood friend, shy girl, MILF mommy, etc.), which on its own is not a problem if you can expand those characters further, but this game does not really do that. The game does sort of have a mechanic to do that outside of the main story through bonding episodes, but those apply only to the “playable” characters and are not that great to begin with. This means that throughout the story I did not really care about the characters the game wanted me to care about and any situations within the story that were meant to be heartfelt made me feel nothing and even cringe a little. Over all the story and the characters are tolerable at first but in the second half I did start wanting for this story to be finally over. What was final nail in the coffin for the story however, was the delivery. It was just set of dialogues with PowerPoint presentation in the background. If you ever played gacha game, you know what I’m talking about. No animations (longer than 5 seconds) at all, with the exception of the final few chapters. I don’t need “constant brain simulation” in a video game, but when the writing is sub-par and the delivery is boring, it is hard to resist skipping it. I only held up because I wanted to make a review. [h1] Gameplay [/h1] The gameplay over all wasn’t that bad, but the thing that I find strange are some of the design decisions that purposefully made it...worse? Every character, including you, has its own weapon and ability. You as a player can choose what characters fight with you, but unlike gacha games, you don’t switch characters in combat. You can only borrow their abilities and you are permanently stuck to your sword (if you play as Yuito, Kasane has a different weapon). This makes the combat feel more or less the same regardless how many abilities you have, despite there being other fully modeled, animated and voiced weapons and abilities on your companions. The “bestiary” in this game might give you feeling of combat diversity, but that is not really the case. You really only have a few boss and non-boss “stereotypes” of enemies and you sometimes don’t even notice a difference between two enemies of the same stereotype. Not to mention that very soon (after reaching friendship level 3 with a party member) you get to a meta strategy, that consists of you just spamming the character abilities every time they recharge. I did only play on normal difficulty, but I doubt that higher difficulties are really worth it because of what this game considers a “challenge”. There are repayable challenges that consist of previous boss fights, that are meant to be “harder”. But what they really are, are just the same fights but the enemy is damage sponge and it takes you 7 minutes to defeat it instead of 3 minutes. Over all it was not unplayable, but as many mentioned before me, it felt the same really fast. Enemies with “more moves” and option to play as other party members, thus having access to other weapon types and moves would definitely spice things up. [h1] The World (& graphics) [/h1] The overall design of the world is nice. It fits the theme well and all of the locations were unique and distinct enough. The graphics are “simple” and are comparable to games like Genshin Impact. But that is not a bad thing. For anime-styled game it is more than enough and it allows the game to run well on underpowered hardware like Steam Deck. [h1] Final thoughts [/h1] I don’t want to hate on this game too much. I can see that the devs wanted to make a good game and good intentions with hard work are admirable. They did however made some bad design decisions in some of the games aspects and the writing team might need a bit more experience. I played through the game once, and I don’t really think I will again, which is a shame, since the game is deliberately designed with 2 playthroughs in mind. The character you choose at the start has its own path in the story and to get the full picture you are supposed to play through both. I just don’t think I am interested enough to go though all of this again. Is this game worth buying? Well...on a discount, why not? Maybe you will like it, I just wish I could like this game more.
