Unique deckbuilding game that is not a roguelike, offering a fresh take with an interesting combat system.
Beautiful and distinctive comic-style art, great voice acting, and an engaging story with deep world-building and memorable characters.
Essence mechanic adds strategic depth, and the game features fully voiced dialogues that enhance narrative immersion.

Combat balance issues with some encounters feeling unfair or unwinnable without excessive retries or save scumming, especially due to harsh debuffs and RNG dependency.
Certain game mechanics, like hardmode lives and some enemy abilities, are buggy or poorly designed leading to frustrating loss of progress.
Lack of quality-of-life features such as skipping repeated cutscenes or dialogues and some pacing issues with slow start and occasional dull or repetitive moments.
