The story follows Haruka, a young pilot seeking revenge against those who destroyed her city, navigating a mix of combat and moral choices that affect her character's purity and equipment. While the narrative features some dark themes and unique elements, it is often described as average and can feel repetitive, with an abrupt ending and a lack of strong character motivation. The game balances lighthearted moments with serious undertones, but ultimately, the story may not resonate with all players due to its simplicity and reliance on combat mechanics.
“The story doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it has a few dark edges to it.”
“Produced by the Clymenia studio, which has already shown their skills in two previous titles, this time we follow the story of the newly recruited young pilot Haruka, on her way to protect Japan while seeking revenge against the group that destroyed her city, but nothing could prepare her for the totally innocent and pure policies of the group that she is part of with regard to women, forcing the young girl to decide to take the path of doing only the missions while remaining pure - but with less equipment - or take the route of fame to earn more points for better equipment, at the cost of losing her innocence and other things along the way.”
“Both the story theme and the combat gameplay are notably different from most other titles in the genre, in a good way.”
“The character herself doesn't really end up with a great motivation, I think, but sheer player boredom and wanting to accelerate her combat growth as fast as possible definitely makes the case for 'go do more scenes, gain that rep.'”
“Art was good, but repetitive; the story fizzled out pretty quickly, but fighting was good.”
“Unless you want the story filled with wholesome (read: boring) content straight out of a mainstream anime.”
