Reviews
- Engaging story with a slow but natural development of found family and friendships among fugitives.
- Well-voiced main character and strong voice acting overall, with standout performances especially in certain routes.
- Deep, complex characters with unique backgrounds and emotionally impactful personal storylines; enjoyable romance development, particularly in routes like Gib, Ash, and Hamiel.
- Long common route with slow pacing and some plot holes; major parts of the story revealed very gradually, which some found frustrating.
- Translation issues with inaccurate subtitles and occasional misinterpretation of Japanese terms.
- Some routes and characters (e.g. Hamiel, Camu, Sally) have unappealing traits or overwhelming storylines, and the MC's shy and overly polite personality can feel disconnected from the player.

33 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is a mixed experience: while some find it engaging with well-developed characters and intriguing missions, others criticize its slow pacing, plot holes, and unoriginal elements reminiscent of other games like Persona. Certain character routes are praised for depth but others feel frustrating or overly reactive, with unresolved plot points and deus ex machina moments detracting from overall satisfaction. Fans of plot-driven otomes may appreciate the narrative despite its flaws, but those seeking a tightly woven, original story may be disappointed.
“I thought the story was engaging and made me want to keep reading.”
“But as the story progressed, chapter by chapter it became clear that every character has depth, secrets, and unique personalities.”
“I'm also honestly amazed at how well the story managed to turn total strangers, who were initially wary of each other, into genuinely close friends in such a natural way.”
“Its story moves at a snail's pace, setting up plot points and mysteries that either go nowhere or have disappointing payoffs, and the characters are significantly more reactive than proactive, often saved by third parties in most conflicts.”
“Do not read Despera Drops if you want a story that respects your time and investment.”
“I wasn't a fan of the main character running after Ramie like a lost pup most of the story, and the kiss was so random; it made no sense for it to happen when it did. They talked about slowly conquering his fear of being touched, then proceeded to make out right after.”
