  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally considered lackluster, with many reviewers noting that it improves as players progress, but is hindered by grindy quests and incomplete narratives, particularly in Papeline's story. While some sections, like Klinsy's, introduce interesting mechanics, they are often overshadowed by poor execution and a lack of depth. Overall, the storytelling feels simplistic and serves primarily as a backdrop to the gameplay rather than a compelling narrative experience.

    • “In Papeline's story, you're tasked with building a city which involves gathering and crafting.”
    • “The new dungeon mechanics introduced in Klinsy's story were pretty good.”
    • “Once again from Papeline's story, one aspect is to explore an overworld to gather materials and do other things.”
    • “Main issues stem from Papeline's story, which just feels incomplete.”
    • “There is no huge storyline or complex mechanics; it's all about the turn-based battles and exploring dungeons.”
    • “The trust aspect in Papeline's story feels tacked on.”
  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced battles against a variety of unique enemies and engaging boss fights, though some reviewers criticize it for lacking depth and meaningful mechanics. While the introduction of new dungeon mechanics adds some variety, the overall experience is described as simplistic, relying heavily on turn-based combat and exploration without a complex storyline.

    • “Overall fast-paced gameplay like BD1.”
    • “The new dungeon mechanics introduced in Klinsy's story were pretty good.”
    • “There’s no depth, no meaningful mechanics, and no justification for selling this as a finished product.”
    • “There is no huge storyline or complex mechanics; it's all about the turn-based battles and exploring dungeons.”
    • “Al's story dungeon could've had 1-2 more mechanics, as the only elements were the roaming enemies, keys and locks, and poison tiles.”
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly in the early stages, with some campaigns requiring excessive material gathering and battles feeling repetitive. While the grind can become more manageable as players progress, the initial experience is often frustrating, leading to mixed recommendations. Overall, the city-building and resource management elements contribute to a sense of incompleteness and tedium.

    • “The only campaign I have issues with is Papelne's - gathering the large amount of materials to beat the scenario is fairly tedious, and there aren't many resources to figure out which monsters have what material without already encountering the material.”
    • “It gets better as you get farther along, but the grindy nature and the stupid prequel quests make it so I cannot recommend.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its charm and how it complements the art style, enhancing the overall experience. However, some critics note a lack of innovation, as new tracks often reuse instruments from previous soundtracks, leading to a sense of stagnation. Overall, while the soundtrack is enjoyable, it could benefit from more originality and variety.

    • “The music fits perfectly with the game's art, adding a unique and memorable touch that makes the experience even better.”
    • “I greatly enjoyed listening to the soundtrack and will continue to do so outside of the game.”
    • “The art style and music are very charming, and the characters are comedic if a little cliché.”
    • “All that was done is lazily adding in her sister with 0 new sprites, and not even implementing any music for the fight.”
    • “The new music still reuses instruments from previous soundtracks, the same artist looks the same, and the programming is already off as hell, with nan-a isn't truly paying to both sides of the fandom to make the game even better.”
