Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 80 sampled reviews raised it
I never found myself having to grind, but I did explore every nook and cranny and fought every enemy I encountered.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
21 of 80 sampled reviews raised it
Solid RPG base that requires you to actually strategize and that isn't just there to check the box, nice (even if janky) graphics, tastefull animations (including and especially NSFW ones), and equaly tastefull writing - characters having their own recognizable profiles, MC being a loveable dork, and even some monsters having something to say for themselves.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 80 sampled reviews raised it
I think the combat is good personally (more on that later), but if it's not your cup of tea then I'd pass on this game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 80 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are in a glossy pop-up book style that I find quite appealing, barring an unusual angle between a staircase and floor here and there.
