Game has good quality of life features like overlays, room templates, performance charts, etc. but you don't need to engage too heavily with these systems or do math to play, it's there to help you optimize.

The story itself is suitably light-hearted for the most part, though that last mission and expansion turn up the stakes and are slightly more serious (slightly...) The characters were all very strong, well-written an engaging, carried by the excellent voice-work.
