Reviews

- The aesthetic and storyline are praised for their quality, drawing comparisons to other successful titles, and the game shows potential for a rich world and character development.
- Players appreciate the unique perspective offered by the dual narrative of the Black and White factions, allowing for a multifaceted view of the story.
- The game lacks an official English translation, requiring players to set their system language to Chinese, which can lead to frustrating technical issues and a barrier for non-Chinese speakers.
- The SRPG gameplay is criticized for being simplistic and lacking meaningful impact on the story, with battles feeling more like a puzzle than a challenging experience.

12 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is a mixed bag, featuring a self-contained narrative that resolves within the game but leaves larger plot threads unfinished, leading to some frustrating cliffhangers. While the narrative style is intriguing and some characters are well-written, the strategic RPG elements feel disconnected from the story and lack meaningful impact. Overall, the aesthetic and storyline draw comparisons to other titles, but the execution leaves players wanting more depth and cohesion.
“The story does set up a self-contained narrative that it resolves in this game, but the larger story remains unfinished.”
“The game has a peculiar narrative style; its story is rather intriguing, and it features some well-written characters (although not all of them are equally well-developed, to be honest).”
“Great aesthetic and storyline, heavily reminiscent of Drakengard 3.”
“By the time you finish the SRPG tutorial missions, the main story is already over.”
“The story does set up a self-contained narrative that it resolves in this game, but the larger story is unfinished.”
“A pity that the gameplay (SRPG) part is mostly there just for the sake of it; it doesn't affect the story in any way, and on top of that, it doesn't present any significant challenge even during the so-called 'challenging' battles.”
