A little too easy at first but turns more challenging in its second half.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Each location has its own mini-boss and main boss; I enjoyed the story, but it does have its flaws, and many of the characters aren’t fully developed, whilst there’s not much information about the world.
