Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is honestly one step away on every system of being really interesting and allowing for massive amounts of customization, however it takes the risk of applying RTS to SRPG - succeeds and stops right there.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics: Gorgeously detailed and beautiful artwork, but this artwork does not match the 3D models in the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I enjoyed my time with this game and do not regret my deluxe edition pre-order with artbook and soundtrack.
Controls

11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Looks and plays great on steam deck with solid 60fps during gameplay and dips some in cutscenes.
