Despite the flaws that I've had with the game stuttering on the Windows version, the story and the gameplay were actually fun.
Story

The main story isn’t much spectacular, but the writer did great job on dialogue and lore description.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
124 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Traditional turn-based combat with a unique overcharge mana system and incredible Battle Bursts.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Visually this game looks great and follows the art style seen in the comic books, with unique-looking characters and some that remind me of some famous animes, like Garrison seems to take inspiration from Berserker and Calibretto seems to offer inspiration to another anime series called Fullmetal Achemist, specifically Alphonse Elric.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I can also make a remark that the voice acting is very well done and I really wish the entire discussions were voice acted as it does break the immersion when at times discussions happen between characters at the inn or during missions which are simply silent and feel like visual novels all the sudden.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not just because interesting character design, but how well they tie each character with original personality and combat ability which most fit in right place.
