Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
162 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A very intriguing, compelling story, for the most part told in a good way, almost derailed by a terrible, forced, unnecessary gameplay addition in the form of its combat system.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
108 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
✅The Best VN gameplay - It can also be very challenging (survival mode & very hard difficulty)
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is a blast, though most of it is in the second half of the game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's always the option of changing the difficulty too at any point if you really get stuck.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And that's the bottom line - the story (and by extension voice acting, art and background music) is pretty much the only thing the game has going for it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay visuals also look great, with what appears to be prerendered 3D assets for its sprites.
