The gameplay in this one is absolutely amazing, it requires a lot of strategy, and even though it's very frustrating at times, it's very fun to go through, and easily one of my favourite jrpgs (gameplay-wise)

The story on the other hand, doesn't even make sense half of the time, you're just playing hide and seek with the main villains for the entire fucking game.
The characters are also terrible. They took the lightheartedness of Shadow Hearts: Covenant and upscaled it 10 times, which made this shit really unbearable to listen to at times. There are some good characters that get more light towards the end, but for all the difficulty in the game, it's not worth it at all.

I think you'd be better off taking this game with a pinch of salt- think of it as a little side project the devs did because they were bored.
