  • The game features a unique combination of action RPG and vertically scrolling shooter mechanics, providing a fresh gameplay experience.
  • There are cute 2D anime characters and surprisingly good voice acting, adding charm to the overall presentation.
  • The central gameplay loop of farming for materials to upgrade units is addictive and offers a satisfying sense of progression.
  • The character growth system is lackluster, with minimal improvements from leveling up and an unbalanced party system.
  • Gameplay can feel grindy and repetitive, with long autoscrolling stages and a lack of engaging challenges.
  • The UI is cluttered and non-intuitive, and there are significant issues with controller support and sound effects.

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it repetitive and simplistic, relying heavily on item ranks for character effectiveness and featuring long autoscrolling stages. However, others appreciate the addictive material farming loop and the unique mechanics, particularly in the vertical shooter elements, which offer a satisfying challenge despite initial bugs that have since been resolved. Overall, the gameplay is described as casual yet distinct, appealing to a broad audience.

    • “Really surprised by this one, has a fairly addictive 'farm for materials to upgrade units' central gameplay loop.”
    • “A satisfying combination of individual elements that would be too simple on their own, and a surprisingly tough iteration on vertical shooter mechanics.”
    • “The game controls are simple with dashes that can move you left and right and other controls that help adjust your direction, but the gameplay is unique.”
    • “The gameplay is repetitive.”
    • “When the game was released, there were some bugs that ruined the gameplay, but these errors were fixed in the new update, so there are no problems.”
    • “Overall, the game looks like a mobile game, but the gameplay itself is casual and unique.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is described as a mix of standard RPG elements with some well-written aspects that aim to analyze the medieval fantasy genre, featuring a narrative that begins with a letter from a character's mother. While the voice acting is surprisingly good, some players find the cutscenes lacking in personality. Additionally, gameplay mechanics involving party recruitment and temporary members add depth to the adventure, though technical issues have been reported that hinder progression.

    • “There's a surprising amount of surprisingly good voice acting, and the story they're telling (thus far) is well-written and seems intent on doing some real analysis of the 'medieval fantasy' setting as we know it.”
    • “The main characters and story mode support full voice-overs, and considering the VTuber collaboration event DLC, the price doesn’t seem so awful after all those considerations.”
    • “The story begins with a letter left by the mother of a girl named Iris.”
    • “The price seems a bit high compared to the contents of the game itself, but the main characters and story mode support full voice-overs, and considering the VTuber collaboration event DLC, the price doesn’t seem so awful after all those considerations.”
    • “I couldn't move on the world map and I couldn't do any other quest anymore.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unengaging, with one reviewer specifically noting that even a relatively short playtime of 7 hours felt like a "grindy snoozefest." Overall, the grinding is perceived as a necessary but unenjoyable part of the experience.

    • “Bottom line is that I finished the Lord of the Parties in just under 7 hours and felt like it was a grindy snoozefest regardless of the low playtime.”
