The game offers high replayability due to its engaging dating app-inspired interface and decent plot and characters, allowing players to enjoy multiple playthroughs. However, some reviewers noted that certain aspects, like the "march against heaven," felt superficial, which may affect the overall experience. Despite this, the entertainment value remains strong, though stability updates for the console are recommended.
“The dating app or social media inspired GUI is fun (a la Mystic Messenger, but with no horrible waking up at 3 AM for the game's duration!) Decent plot, characters, and even replay value!”
“+ Replay value very high”
“This still gets a positive review from me for replayability value/entertainment but just be aware that the console itself needs a good few stability updates.”
“Of course, it gives room for replayability, but the march against heaven was handled very superficially in my opinion.”
“This still gets a positive review from me for replayability value and entertainment, but just be aware that the console itself needs a good few stability updates.”
