What players say

Players praise the anthology format of seven distinct stories across time periods and the inventive battle system, but split on whether those chapters are engaging or tedious. The final chapter and certain routes require heavy grinding, and some find the pacing slow or the content dated. The soundtrack and visual style are widely appreciated.
