It's fine. Main appeal is the presentation, and the spectacle attached to it – a graphical adventure game with lots of voice acting, some CD music, and plenty of colorful, detailed art that straddles the line between cute magical girl fare and badass mecha action. Story had its entertaining moments here and there, but parts of it fell a bit flat. I mostly just wish the story was a little more compelling, and that the characters were more interesting. Also I wish the turn-based combat wasn't just strategy-less RNG mashing – at least you can redo failed fights immediately after losing them, so it's not a huge inconvenience – mostly just a time-waster. All in all, this is an okay game for what it is, but it could have been better.

I guess I lied about playing more then just Bomberman in terms of playing only 1 PC Engine game for the time being. I couldn't help myself, I was really curious about this game so I gave it a go and honestly I really enjoyed it.

This game is mostly a visual novel so if that is a genre you like, you should give this a look. It's got a nice 90s anime vibe. Well I guess it was made in 1992. It's games like these that really make me see the appeal of the system especially to someone in Japan. I'm not sure if the Sega CD could do what this game does but I was impressed with all of the voice acting and cutscenes. The voice acting is rather nice but it is compressed.

While this game is fun and can have some fun writing, sometimes the story can feel repetitive with you just going to location to location just to find one of the 13 dark frauleins to fight. Though it won't stop the game from being fun a lot of the time. It's got a lot of fun characters and I really like Yuna.

Another gripe I could give the game is the battles. Now I assume they were made with the intention of being super simple, especially since they could detract from people just wanting to enjoy the story. Sadly they just get a little old after a while so I ended up using speed up. The most fun I had was just seeing what verbal abuse Yuna could say to the girls.

The music is kind of hit and miss. Some of it is really good especially the CD vocal songs that feel straight out of an anime. However some of it is just kind of grating and repetitive and the sound mixing is kind of poor at times. The biggest surprise to me was hearing the Bomberman PC Engine Title Screen theme and then actual Bomberman showing up, how does this happen after my first game on this console being Bomberman?

There's a lot to like about this game even if it isn't perfect and hell I'm not even sure if there are lose scenarios in the VN sections. I tried purposefully seeing if there were any in some situations but they just don't lead to anything bad. If anyone has found one, would appreciate to know just out of curiosity. I'm excited to play the sequel to this someday, I'm hoping it's even better!
