Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This game is extremely light on story, especially past the introductory sequences, and there is only a single, very minimalistic romance arc for each of the playable classes (and all of those arcs pretty much play out by themselves, without much input on player's part).

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The dungeon-crawling mechanics are solid, with a good sense of progression and customisation - some late-game items are definitely unbalanced, but generally, there's a good number of viable team compositions and tactics, with active and passive skills bound to both each character and some equipable items.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I am on the cusp of saying no to this game honestly, it's described as a VN with dungeon crawling elements but honestly you will spend 90% of your time going through 8 floors of the same walls in a dungeon that honestly looks bland as all heck, no patterns to it at all, no unique textures just plain white brick, some wooden doors and later on red, blue and green ice walls that serve as a puzzle and it's not bad actually as far as puzzles go, they got creative with it and it's one of it's good points the game has overall dood.
