Really good story and writing with some solid if generic worldbuilding, but holy shit is everything else rough. The graphics still look good enough but the character models are pretty bad, to the point that they just give you a card with some naked artwork on it whenever you fuck a girl instead of showing some janky sex scene. Probably a smart move since the animations wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Just like how they can’t handle the combat. I don’t know what the fuck this game’s combat system is trying to do, but it didn’t do it. It’s some weird ass rhythm game with a stance system that never feels like it’s working properly even when you’re doing exactly what the game says to do. I managed to brute force my way through the whole game so apparently getting good at the combat doesn’t even matter in the end.

I’d say the game as a whole is still good with everything else that’s in it, but whenever it has you fight be prepared for either a headache or button mashing.
