A mediocre fire emblem experience made extremely worse by its sexual-assaulter director inserting his weird racism and misogyny everywhere. the first half of the story is an allegory for the drama around mangs' sexual assault and while the second half is somewhat decent, the entire thing is a giant mess. the map design is equally uneven, with the first half of the game being comprised entirely of chapters with the same exact pacing (running away from a killsquad towards the objective) because they couldnt come up with any other anti-turtling methods, and the second half being a series of gimmicky maps that are overall a better experience but share the same issues (reinforcements spawning out of nowhere and spawning constantly, terrible unit balance, etc). the massive cast makes me think the game was intended to be ironmanned but everything about the map design feels like it was made for divine pulse; you constantly face enemies with high crit, reinforcements often come out of nowhere and if you dont know the exact turns they spawn you will lose.
