The legendary VN that took a decade and some change to make it to gaijin hands. Strong world-building and many likable characters but sadly it's a bit of a juvenile edgefest at its worst and lacks a properly structured narrative or even antagonists that scratch the surface of being remotely decent. The themes of Muramasa, while compelling, dominate the entire work to the point where it not only shoves them down the player's throat rather than relying on nuance, but also to where it has little else to stand on, aside from them. It could have been something great, but the execution just wasn't there.
