This is a game that, I'll admit, if you played it like you would a handlheld game, as in... short spurts as you're riding the bus/train, etc, then it becomes a perfectly good 7/10 that'll last you a very long time.
If you played it like me though, beating it over a weekend and playing very long sessions at a time... you'll become quickly tired of it, with how drawn-out the level design feels especially, and how non-varied the gameplay is, and considering the fact the game is only in english via a translation patch, thus mostly requiring an emulator to play... that's most likely how you'll end up playing it.
It is saved by the cute artstyle and portraits, and the various character interactions are wonderful too, it's just... a very repetitive game.
