Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
As for the actual game you have a mix of cRPG mechanics (Real-Time With Pause Combat, but with a move queue system), an interesting, but fairly simple progression system, as well as a minor social aspect (nowhere near the depth of Persona, but it is a way to buff your characters and get individual backstory progression)

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The story and characters so far are decently interesting but the occasional jokes and colorful art style kind of clash with the darker tone the rest of the game seems to want.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack supports the narrative tone through moody synth layers, atmospheric tension, and energetic battle tracks, helping missions feel narratively charged rather than purely mechanical.

Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
I'm having fun playing this game even even if I'm very bad at it (it takes time to make cool combos) I can't wait trying it on my steam deck soon!
