Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay (because it's a VN action RPG hybrid) is very well thought and executed, also i find it underused because it IS very rewarding but the game in most occasion just "*woosh* [This character] swings her sword and eliminate the enemies blocking their way" like, bruh, you HAVE that mechanics and it's great EVEN if you want to make a game JUST for that mechanics ALONE, let me play!
