It's very pretty, but otherwise it's just a decent-to-middling Symphony of the Night clone. Not bad at all, but you can probably do better.

I'm basically bumping this up by half a star because I have some affection for the Lodoss franchise.

EDIT: Actually ended up liking this a bit more after beating it. The intro areas are really bland, but they eventually get more interesting. The fake Ikuraga mechanic allowing you to blast enemies with magic also becomes more satisfying as the game leans into it.
