Story and characters

GLITCHES, BUGS AND ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SAVING ONLY EVERY FIVE TURNS... my god, anyway.. that out of my system, the game is pretty much a Fire Emblem with another name for those not familiar with the title, and it follows the story of a price named Zade, for all I care he could be called Chad because you'll be reloading every 5 minutes, which in my opinion is a waste of time and energy when you could just let people save every turn, but nope, you make a mistake, which could not be a tactical mistake, but you just get unlucky and get hit by a random hobo with a flying axe, uh oh.....

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It feels like a terribly optimized GBA/Handheld port to PC - gameplay itself is fun when it's actually working which isn't as common as it should be

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
But it is a beautiful and well-crafted game with a great soundtrack, interesting characters and plot, and is certainly challenging).
