- The story is poorly executed with nonsensical plot points and unappealing characters.
- The English translation is overly literal, making it difficult to understand at times.
- There are very few nude scenes, and the game is short with limited progression.

Overall, the historical elements are appreciated, but the execution leaves much to be desired.
