Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
62 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
To conclude, this game might best be described as the Anti-Baldur's Gate 3, a game made with a budget of three peanuts and a beer can that is laser focused on actual roleplaying (and not roll playing), a great combat system, multiple main characters that actually matter, short runs but with a lot of replayability and overall actual design depth.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
49 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
Would say this has been a real treat as a more gameplay and mechanics driven SaGa fan.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics of fights were good, and the maps were poor and awkward; I think they were using "artsy" to make up for quality, but it was fine.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting (English and Japanese both) and ability to change the text language in-game without any external hurdles
