    • “I feel like the inciting incident to motivate the protagonist uses some plot convenience.”
    • “The story's darkest section is when [spoiler] Morgalia blows up the mines and frames Akira's party, or it would have been if we could actually see the citizens' reaction and actually have people visibly turn on the party.”
    • “There are some unclear or loose ends in the story, such as [spoiler] what happened to the Kolfos during Zeta's occupation of Vulcanite.”

    • “A total gem, brimming with a boatload of mechanics resulting in one of the most creative and fun turn-based combat systems I've experienced, alongside great characters and story.”
    • “Neat character designs, extremely fun and challenging combat mechanics, and rewarding to min-max to see big damage numbers go brr.”
    • “The level designs are interesting visually and mechanically, and the more you play the game, the more you begin to understand how each section works.”
    • “I don't usually play JRPGs without a grid, but with the amount of mechanics at play here, I feel like I would get lost with one.”
    • “I actually think the length of this game is its biggest problem, and that may seem like a strange criticism, but from a gameplay perspective, there are a lot of nuances in this game that are not fully realized until you really get into it. It almost feels like my knowledge of this game has picked up and then gone down again; there are a lot of small things you can miss, in part because some of the UI images are not showing relevant features.”
    • “It reminds me more of games like 'Kaiju Big Battel', with grindy gameplay but a 'cute cartoony girl' look. It's not so much like 'Mother', and I'm not getting 'Undertale' vibes or anything like that (well, maybe except the sho character). Although to be fair, this game is very playful, just in a different way.”

  • character development2 mentions

    Character development is primarily driven through bonding events, reminiscent of the Trails of Cold Steel series, where players must strategically manage limited activity points to experience all interactions.

    • “The character designs are neat, and the combat mechanics are extremely fun and challenging. It's rewarding to min-max and see big damage numbers.”
    • “Similar to the Trails of Cold Steel series, most character development occurs during bonding events. With a limited number of activity points in each town or camp segment, you'll need to save and reload to experience them all, but it's worth the effort in my opinion.”
    • “The depth of character development is impressive, as each interaction and bonding event adds layers to the characters, making them feel more real and relatable.”
    • “Like in the Trails of Cold Steel series, the majority of character development takes place in bonding events. However, since you have a limited number of activity points during each town or camp segment, you'll need to save and reload to see them all. While this isn't too difficult, it can be frustrating and feels like a chore.”
    • “The character development feels shallow and forced, with many interactions lacking depth. It often seems like the game prioritizes quantity over quality, leading to a disjointed experience.”
    • “I found the character arcs to be predictable and lacking in meaningful growth. The choices you make often feel inconsequential, which diminishes the impact of the development.”
  • humor2 mentions

    • “There is also a ton of injected humor and quirky dialogue options.”
  • grinding1 mentions

The gameplay is described as grindy but maintains a lighthearted and fun atmosphere.

    • “It reminds me more of games like 'Kaiju Big Battel'; the gameplay is grindy but has a 'cute cartoony girl' aesthetic. It doesn't evoke the same feelings as mother-likes or Undertale, although the sho character might be an exception. To be fair, this game is very playful, just in a different way.”
    • “The grinding feels excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
