I'm gonna be simple, this game is dogshit
It doesn't run that well and i got soflocked about twice or thrice in the span of four hours, how even?
Looking at the game from the outside, the combos may look good, something like DMC, but no, it's just mindless mashing, not cool.
The Story seems to be good though, the majority of the points I give it come from that.
The designs are what you would expect from an anime gacha game, not much to comment here.
Oh, and remember when Genshin was getting accused of copying other games? Yeah that actually happens here, and not in a shy way. The literal first stage in the game has the protagonist fighting some random enemies above a plane that's flying above a city, and the character seems to have some witch time powers, a virgin's bayonetta, bet y'all are wetting your tiny willies at that (also her first form's image is literally a copy paste of DMC 3 Dante's render, amazing).
The gacha kinda sucks, but that's to be expected since it's a gacha, the only good gacha is a dead gacha. Different from Genshin, the difference from a 4 star to a 5 star is way too obvious to be ignored. At least they seem to give away 5 star characters from time to time, that's the way I got my daughter Seele, yay. Another thing they do that is nice is provide the characters' trials to us regularly.
To touch on that first part again. Seriously, how it this mess of a game so badly optimized? The menus are actual cancer to look at, that remind you of those shady websites that you shouldn't be visiting but you still do for some reason. A bunch of unnecessary things screaming at you and an information overload of enormous proportions.
Talking about polish, this game's combat animations and the combat itself have as much polish as an average sonic game (that is to say, none at all) and yeah, I fell out of the map and softlocked on menus, dialogues and missions way too many times for the little time that I wasted my time on this bunch of ugly pixels.
I didn't reach the endgame because I don't want to kill myself yet, but mihoyo hasn't done a good (hell, decent even) endgame system yet, so I doubt this is any different.
I'm not revisiting this one anytime soon, Seele having a new form will not win me over, but it was a good try.
