graphics3 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • Charming art style and cute anime-inspired character designs.
  • Deep weapon variety with accurate gun portrayals and an extensive attachment system.
  • Engaging and fun turn-based tactical combat with good customization and a likable cast.
  • User interface and quality-of-life features need improvement, including clearer stat explanations and inventory management.
  • Enemy AI tends to be inconsistent and sometimes makes poor tactical decisions.
  • Gameplay balance issues with some weapon categories feeling redundant or underpowered and combat mechanics like fog of war and cover system needing refinement.

  • story

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    11% positive mentions, 73% neutral mentions, 16% negative mentions

    The game's story centers on defending against a neighboring school's invasion and is taken somewhat seriously but remains fairly straightforward and brief so far. While the narrative hasn't deeply progressed, it provides a solid foundation complemented by frequent updates and expansions. Players note that, despite core gameplay strengths, the story length and complexity could be expanded to enhance engagement.

    • “Been following it ever since I saw it on Twitter a year or two ago, and just got around to completing all missions (have to redo on harder difficulty but will do!) and already off the bat this game has got something great going!”
    • “There is a lot of weapons, clothes and upgrades and the story is updated and expanded almost every update.”
    • “Story really hasn't progressed all too much to be able to form an opinion on it, but so far so good.”
    • “Another issue you'll notice on the first actual mission is you don't have a pre mission loadout screen.”
    • “Although this game's main plot is about fending off a neighbouring school's invasion, so technically the game does take itself seriously, albeit slightly.”

  • gameplay

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a charming turn-based strategy experience with a mix of tactical elements and customization but suffers from outdated mechanics, limited defensive options, and a static hit chance system. While some players appreciate its lighthearted tone and blend of influences, others find the mechanics underdeveloped and desire quality-of-life improvements and clearer in-game explanations. Overall, it’s an enjoyable indie game that could benefit from further refinement and balancing.

    • “A really charming turn-based strategy game, though a lot of mechanics and the UI could use quality of life updates, and a few of the weapons seem redundant.”
    • “It's pretty hard to defend well in battles; the game tends to favor high-mobility and high damage units. There's no 'overwatch' skill, so generally the winning side is the one that can maneuver behind cover and deliver a killing blow. The suppression mechanic helps somewhat, but it could be improved by varying suppression amounts based on weapon type, with LMGs and HMGs maximizing suppression and pistols and sniper rifles applying less.”
    • “This is a fantastic mix of Valkyrie Chronicles tactical gameplay, CGDCT, and modern urban warfare with a wholesome atmosphere on top.”
    • “It's pretty hard to defend well in battles; the game tends to reward high-mobility and high damage units. There's no 'overwatch' skill available, so generally the side who wins is the one that can loop around behind any unit's cover and deliver a killing blow. While the suppression mechanic helps somewhat, it should be adjusted to allow weapons to add different suppression amounts, with LMGs and HMGs maximizing suppression and pistols and sniper rifles providing lower suppression.”
    • “The hit percentage mechanic resembles XCOM's hit chance mechanic, but the hit percentages are rather static.”
    • “I think at the very least there should be a 'tips glossary' that specifically explains what everything does, like how a stat influences gameplay.”

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game features a charming and cute art style that players appreciate, though some battle effects can appear awkward, such as characters seeming to shoot through walls. Overall, the graphics are well-liked for their aesthetic appeal.

    • “The art style is very charming, but the biggest gripe I have is not with the art style itself but the effects in battle; it can look a little weird or odd seeing characters look like they're shooting through a wall or something like that.”
    • “Graphics are nice and cute, music has been great so far.”
    • “I like this game a lot; it's got fun and engaging combat as well as a nice art style.”
