Excellent environmental design and engaging story that appeals to fans of the Persona series.
Satisfying and complex combat and exploration gameplay loop, with plenty of content to keep players interested.
Charming character interactions, a great soundtrack, and a fun fusion of Persona and Etrian Odyssey gameplay concepts.

Lacks an English voice track and has variable quality in writing, leading to some characters feeling flanderized.
Dungeon designs can be repetitive and the difficulty may feel poorly adjusted at times.
Overlapping character archetypes result in many characters being underutilized, and the game can feel like a chore to play.
