There was an honest attempt to make something different. However, player progression and engagement takes a back seat in order to make way for this experimentation. It's an early rogue like. And because it's still a JRPG you lose alot of the feeling of progressing with both your characters and story. As you will have to sit through the same cutscense and level up your heroes from zero over and over again. This one was not for me at all.
