Reviews
- The game is lighthearted and cheesy, making it enjoyable for fans of anime and superhero genres, especially those who appreciate a Power Rangers or Super Sentai vibe.
- It features a well-written story with multiple plot threads and twists, providing great replayability and engaging choices for players.
- The game evolves from a childish tone to a more mature narrative, incorporating elements of political conspiracies and cult mysticism, which adds depth to the overall experience.
- The writing can feel amateurish and overly simplistic, with repetitive and cringe-worthy dialogue that may detract from the immersion.
- The pacing is inconsistent, with some chapters feeling rushed or slow, which can break the flow of the story.
- Many elements of the game are seen as unoriginal, heavily borrowing from established franchises like Power Rangers, leading to a lack of fresh ideas.

The story is characterized by a Power Rangers/Super Sentai vibe, offering a mix of lighthearted superhero themes and darker, mature twists as it progresses. While some reviewers appreciated the fast-paced narrative and replayability due to multiple plot threads, others criticized the lack of focus and reliance on deus ex machina plot devices. Overall, the story is engaging but may not satisfy those seeking a more coherent or dramatic narrative.
“It took me 7 hours for one playthrough, and there are a ton of other plot threads available that actually change things, making for some great replayability.”
“Wow, this story was amazing, with so many twists and turns. Every time I thought it was over and was upset because I just knew I had failed and gotten a bad ending, it kept on!”
“The author does a terrible job of plot lead up and pops out the deus ex machinas like piñata candy.”
“Seemed like the story and plot was all over the place with lack of focus.”
“But then, the story has its own amount of plot twists and progressively becomes more mature and dark near the end.”
