Like most level 5 games, the art is gorgeous and the game has personality. The story has that funny Japanese take on European history. It animefies it into something that's akin to that fate/zero anime without some of the more mature parts, fused with some sort of studio ghibli take. I was surprised how many gorgeous animated cinematics this game has throughout, that must have taken a lot of their budget.
The game mechanics are designed to be not to complicated, as this is obviously designed to be (also) enjoyed by younger children. Speaking of which, the childish parts and designs can be offputting by people expecting a dark/edgy take on the famous story, but it's a fun, solid strategy RPG every fan of that genre (like Fire Emblem fans) should play. I think most will get enjoyment out of it. It's not a well known game and should get more love. Of course it's not perfect. The weapon triangle like system can be mostly ignored and the transformations of certain characters make them a bit to OP. I mostly used them and the remaining spots went to one character of the axe and bow jobclasses (some review said there is no jobsystem but that's false, each job has their own unique abilities it can equip) In particular fighting the same boss characters for multiple chapters in a row i found a bit of a nitpick. But this wasn't supposed to be a complex and intricate RPG, just a beautiful and fun take on jeanne d'arc that children can enjoy. If i would have played this when i was 11/12 i would have been blown away.
