  • The game features a rich and engaging story with well-developed lore, making it appealing for fans of fantasy narratives.
  • There is a high level of customization for units and squads, allowing for diverse strategies and gameplay experiences.
  • Improvements in UI and mechanics from previous titles in the series enhance the overall gameplay experience.
  • The game is not newcomer-friendly, lacking tutorials and clear explanations of its complex mechanics, which can lead to confusion.
  • The presence of non-consensual themes, including rape, is significant and may be distressing for some players, with inadequate trigger warnings.
  • The UI, while improved, still feels outdated and can be visually unappealing, detracting from the overall experience.
  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is engaging and well-written, with character development and plot twists that respond to player choices, although it requires commitment to a single path. While some players find the narrative basic and repetitive, others appreciate its unique setting and character charm, making it a fun experience overall. The game is noted for its improvements over its predecessor, offering a longer and more cohesive story, though it may not satisfy those seeking deep storytelling in a tactical context.

    • “The story and each character are very unique and kept me engaged.”
    • “A long story that is probably better than you would expect from a game of this type.”
    • “Very fun JRPG, with a very well written story.”
    • “Unless the game is on sale, the story for the most part is pretty basic, with obvious twists and repetitive setups.”
    • “You could play the all-ages version of the game, and just play it for the story and tactical aspect, but in my opinion, if that's what you want, you should look elsewhere.”
    • “5/10 storytelling.”
  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its depth and complexity, offering a unique experience that stands out among other eroge games, with hundreds of hours of engaging content. However, players note a steep learning curve and a lack of clear explanations for its intricate mechanics, which can be overwhelming for newcomers. Despite these challenges, the overall gameplay is considered rewarding, especially for those willing to invest time in mastering it.

    • “The gameplay alone makes this worth it already, with the story just pushing it even more.”
    • “This is quite possibly one of the best visual novels with gameplay on the market.”
    • “Unique and fun gameplay: unlike 99% of sexually explicit games on Steam, the gameplay is not some barebones RPG Maker game, cheap knockoff of a better game, a brainless 'puzzle' game, or a visual novel with no gameplay at all.”
    • “The learning curve is steep and the game doesn't explain its own mechanics very well.”
    • “Just like the previously released VB game (Frontier), this one uses an overly complicated combat system, with dozens of interacting mechanics, a mess where some things matter a lot and some usually don't, until they do and it bites you in the ass.”
    • “Lots of mechanics in the game, and, for better or worse, the game does not hold your hand, drip-feeding your tutorials on each one.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers strong replayability through its dual moral choices of good and evil, as well as the challenge of completing higher difficulty levels, such as Thanatos mode. Players can further enhance their experience by facing enemies on the highest berserk mode, which unlocks additional bonuses upon completion, making for a thrilling and challenging replay.

    • “The game offers great replay value with the option to choose between good and evil paths, and tackling higher difficulties in Thanatos mode. Additionally, playing with all enemies on the highest berserk mode unlocks extra bonuses upon completion, making it a super challenging and exhilarating experience.”
    • “With multiple choices and difficulty levels, the replayability is impressive. Each playthrough feels fresh, especially when experimenting with different character alignments and enemy settings.”
    • “The variety of gameplay options ensures that no two runs are the same, encouraging players to explore different strategies and outcomes.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that unlocking additional characters requires completing high difficulty levels, often necessitating multiple playthroughs and significant resource investment, leading to a grinding experience.

    • “You are required to play on super high difficulties to unlock additional characters, which leads to grinding the game for about 5+ playthroughs and resource hogging to unlock the best unit in the game in order to access said character.”
    • “The grinding is excessive and feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the game.”
    • “I spent countless hours grinding for resources, and it became tedious and frustrating rather than rewarding.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised, contributing significantly to the overall experience with an amazing soundtrack that complements the engaging story and gameplay. Players appreciate the quality of the music, which enhances the game's appeal alongside its charming characters.

    • “But overall, with an amazing story, soundtrack, and gameplay, it's definitely worth the money and it is hard to find a better eroge game out there.”
    • “Good music, lovely characters, and Anora is the best girl.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are considered underwhelming, particularly in the fight sequences and map design, though the artwork is described as decent yet somewhat clichéd. Overall, while the visual presentation may not impress, the depth of combat mechanics stands out.

    • “While the actual fights and map graphics leave much to be desired, the depth of the combat and stats is pretty overwhelming at first.”
    • “The artwork is decent, if not a bit trope.”
