Despite the boxart looking hyper serious the actual game inside is very chuunicore. So be ready for that kind of plot because I like that kind of whacky bullshit but I know it's not everybody's cup of tea. The story is the main focus going on really long and taking up a lot of time. It's on the long side, but it's an alright story to get attached to the cast with. It also has social links, which unlike social links aren't interactive at all so you're mostly just in pure VN mode when those come up (and you will get a lot of those especially late game). Thankfully a few of these social links do use actual gameplay segments to break them up.

The gameplay is a decent action hack and slash where you choose from two stories. I chose Kasane, who is more range focused. You balance between your attacks and your psychokinesis attacks. Some are regular objects you chuck at foes, others have special input commands that can do things from smack them harder to spin around and beyond. You also have SAS, a system that lets you use the powers of your party members for even more mix and match variety. These are great, and you even get a super mode on top of that to help keep things from getting stale. It doesn't always keep things from getting stale though especially with the barrage of big enemies the game throws at you where you'll just be mashing out the same moves and combinations over and over hoping your super mode puts an end to the barrage.

It's a little on the too long side, but it's still a solid experience.
