  • The game features a diverse range of character classes and skills, allowing for interesting party compositions and strategies.
  • Combat is engaging and fast-paced, with a focus on exploiting enemy weaknesses, making battles enjoyable.
  • The game suffers from balance issues, becoming too easy as players can quickly overpower enemies, especially in the later stages.
  • The story is thin and lacks depth, with most of the narrative concentrated in the early stages and minimal development thereafter.
  • There are performance issues, including frame stutters and bugs that can disrupt gameplay, such as crashes when purchasing items.
  • story
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally considered thin and lacking depth, with most of the narrative concentrated in the early stages and minimal development in later parts. While some players appreciate the simplicity and twists, many feel it lacks substance and proper setup, particularly during key moments like the final boss confrontation. Overall, the gameplay is often prioritized over the story, which is seen as a secondary aspect of the experience.

    • “The short version of this story is yes, this game is 100% worth it.”
    • “The story is simple and easy to follow, revolving around reaching the spirit of a zeint that saved the world years ago to receive her blessing.”
    • “The plot is simpler, but has a better twist; nothing groundbreaking though.”
    • “It really felt like they wanted to end the story and/or ran out of money and/or creativity to make complicated puzzles on the last stage.”
    • “Also, the actual events that happen in the 'story' have no real setup whatsoever; there are some 'twists,' but we had no expectations to begin with.”
    • “In my opinion, the story should have either been cut or, preferably, given more substance. I think there were only about seven lines during the confrontation with the final boss.”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is straightforward and enjoyable, featuring a solid loop that encourages theorycrafting with customizable classes. While it offers about 17 hours of playtime on normal difficulty and presents a more challenging experience than its predecessor, some players find it overly simplistic and lacking in depth, particularly in terms of story and role-playing elements. Overall, the mechanics are accessible, allowing players to learn gradually, but the game may not retain long-term interest for everyone.

    • “Mechanics are straightforward but the game remains enjoyable all the way through.”
    • “The gameplay itself is very highly customized since all classes are already unlocked when building the first party member.”
    • “Was only about 17 hours of gameplay on normal difficulty.”
    • “Add to the fact that the game is a bit overly simplistic; I won't keep playing as it got neither gameplay nor role-playing going for me.”
    • “The gameplay is identical to the last game, but a bit more challenging and with a different setting.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their polished anime aesthetic, appealing particularly to fans of simple dungeon crawlers reminiscent of Etrian Odyssey. While the art style is generally well-received, it may be a matter of personal preference for some players. Overall, the visuals are considered decent and attractive within the anime genre.

    • “The art style is very good.”
    • “The art/graphics are pretty decent for anime style.”
    • “The art/graphics are pretty decent for an anime style.”
    • “It's a very polished art style.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding in the game to be a mixed experience; while the combat and build options are enjoyable and well-balanced, the necessity of gathering materials can become tedious, particularly when it involves repetitive back-and-forth exploration. Some players note that grinding can be challenging yet manageable, especially when focusing on a single character. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a necessary component that risks becoming monotonous if not paced well.

    • “As for length, my time playing the game is likely skewed as I played the game with a single character which was very challenging and required some grinding but was actually possible despite the odds.”
    • “You've got a wide variety that you can craft, but grinding out the materials to stock them en masse is tedious as you'll have to wander back and forth through the labyrinth to gather all that.”
    • “Grinding can feel repetitive and drawn out, making it hard to stay engaged with the game for long periods.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game experiences some performance issues, but they are not severe enough to significantly impact gameplay.

    • “The game has some performance issues, but nothing debilitating so far.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, contributing positively to the overall experience alongside engaging enemies and bosses.

    • “Overall, it's a nice game with great music and interesting enemies and bosses.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is reported to be quite buggy and lacks polish, indicating significant stability issues that affect the overall experience.

    • “Definitely buggy, somewhat unpolished.”
