I played it with the tagline of "generic anime game" from the kind of people who clap whenever big budget with open world, pointless crafting and female protagonist that is as interesting as random PS3-era white guy but one's more marketable so yeah

Anyway outside of minor combat issues and protag Yuito who is indeed very generic the game hits a lot of right notes for me. Both parties play each other really well (especially Kasane's which is honestly the best route, even if I prefer Yuito's gameplay). Most characters are really cool and even the worst ones like Tsumugi or Yuito are just bland and aren't insufferable. Shoutout to team Kasane and Gemma they're really cool. What's not really cool are the final chapters that are basically the same regardless of who you choose.

Combat feels good, SAS powers are fun to use and they clearly tried to compensate Kasane's gameplay not feeling as good as Yuito by giving her Arashi, Kyoka and Kagero which are among the coolest powers. With that said sometimes enemy reactions are wack and some take too long to die unless you bonk them with psychokinesis on a spot that is too small for how imprecise that power is. There's definitely room for ilprovement but I mostly liked what I played

Bosses were a mixed bag, the Yuito ones were great especially the chapter 9's (best fight in the game), Kasane's were bad if you don't count shit like the factory fight where it's just a 3v3 and whoever you play is based on the protag. Kodama is the worst character in the game, her fights aren't very interesting mechanically and she has no character

So yeah good game, not a masterpiece but apparently it had to be one for some reason. I hope we get a sequel or more games like these because this is on the better side of action games that try to insert a gimmick besides beating regular melee combat
