  • Resource management adds a layer of strategy to the gameplay, and the multiple difficulty options allow players to tailor their experience.
  • The character interactions are engaging, with well-drawn art and a variety of expressions that enhance the overall experience.
  • Many players find the game too grindy, with random encounters becoming tedious over time.
  • The sexual content is sparse and not as impactful as some players might expect, leading to disappointment for those seeking a more adult-focused experience.
  • The lack of towns or navigable buildings detracts from the exploration aspect, making the game feel limited in scope.
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews on grinding in the game are mixed; some players find it manageable and enjoyable, especially at higher difficulty levels, while others feel it can be tedious and overly time-consuming, particularly due to random encounters. Overall, the grinding aspect is integral to the gameplay, especially in dungeon crawling, and appeals to those seeking a challenge.

    • “Not too grindy really, but things do take time.”
    • “A bit too grindy for me, and the random encounters are quite annoying.”
    • “If you want a challenge, and a tedious one at that, this is for you.”
    • “As this is a dungeon crawling game, it seems like they kept the non-stop grinding.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is notably more engaging than previous Kagura titles, featuring a focus on gear management, item usage, and strategic turn-based combat, which offers around 25 hours of playtime. While some players may find the sexual content less impactful on the overall experience, those prioritizing gameplay will likely appreciate the depth and mechanics involved.

    • “This really is more gameplay focused than most other Kagura releases, with you having to actually manage the gear you buy, stuff you have equipped, and also just your general item usage since shops have limited stock.”
    • “The gameplay time will be at least about 25 hours.”
    • “My biggest problem with Kagura games was that there was no gameplay in them; one-shotting bosses took the investment out of the games.”
    • “Unfortunately, the sexual content has little effect on the story or gameplay.”
    • “If you value gameplay over sexual content, you’ll surely enjoy the turn-based combat!”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is described as interesting yet simplistic, with some users finding the adult content to be underwhelming and not significantly impacting the narrative. In contrast, "Ideology in Friction" is praised for its well-written characters and engaging story set in a grim world, although the lack of challenge detracts from the overall atmosphere. Overall, while some narratives are compelling, the integration of adult themes often feels disconnected from the main storyline.

    • “The story is interesting, if a bit simple.”
    • “Ideology in Friction has an amazing story and very well-written characters in a grim world.”
    • “And if you really don't want to dungeon crawl and just want to enjoy the story, there's a difficulty that makes all the fights trivial.”
    • “Yeah, the ero stuff is meh and the overall story is nothing to write home about, but the actual game is really good.”
    • “Unfortunately, the sexual content has little effect on the story or gameplay.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the funny character dynamics and conversations, though some feel that it occasionally falls flat. Overall, it adds a solid layer to the RPG experience, complementing the engaging combat and dungeon designs.

    • “Genuinely a very solid RPG with very well-made combat, interesting dungeon layouts (as in, by normal RPG standards, not by eroge standards), and mostly good humor.”
    • “Aside from that, I liked the character dynamics of the party; there's nothing too deep going on, but the conversations can get pretty funny at points.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere in "Ideology in Friction" is characterized by a well-crafted story and compelling characters set in a grim world; however, some players feel that the absence of challenge undermines the overall experience, leading to a sense of contrivance.

    • “The atmosphere and characters seem contrived.”
    • “Ideology in Friction has an amazing story and very well-written characters in a grim world, but the lack of any challenge just killed the atmosphere for me.”
