The gameplay experience is marred by a lengthy and unengaging introduction filled with basic tutorials that may frustrate seasoned players. While the battle mechanics and out-of-battle interactions are well-developed, the lack of ambush mechanics in encounters diminishes strategic depth. Overall, despite some minor issues, the game offers a rich content experience that should appeal to most players.
“⚡ Fleshed out battle mechanics and out of battle interactions.”
“This has been a very interesting game with a lot of content in regards to both the story and gameplay aspects.”
“Overall the cons section is mostly nitpicks that don't impact my gameplay experience significantly nor would I expect them to for the average player.”
“The intro of this game is just rough to say the least. You sit through about 10 minutes of cut-scenes just to finally play, and it's just an info dump tutorial explaining absolute basic mechanics like taunt and healing potions—things that anyone who has ever touched this genre will already be hyper familiar with. It also does not help that you have absolutely zero control over your character's movements during this outside of battle.”
“On-map encounters don't provide any sort of ambush or surprise mechanic, so just rushing the enemy or letting them rush you yields about the same result.”
“Tl;dr: Openings should be short and sweet with a good narrative hook. Try to give players control of their characters relatively quickly, even if they can only walk around a small area. Tutorials should not be mandatory and should explain only basic RPG mechanics, and lastly, keep the UI clean.”

The music composition is well-suited to the game's events, effectively blending period-appropriate sounds with anachronistic instruments that feel harmonious within the context.
“The music composition is fitting for the events, and even when out-of-time period instruments are used, they do not seem out of place.”
“The soundtrack perfectly enhances the atmosphere, making every moment feel more immersive and engaging.”
“Each track is beautifully crafted, adding depth to the gameplay and elevating the overall experience.”
