How it feels

A dense, text-heavy strategy RPG that feels like reading a historical chronicle, requiring careful attention to language and slow, deliberate tactical decisions.

What players say

Players praise the branching story where choices affect character survival and faction independence. Some battles feel unfair, especially the Chibi rescue and Chengdu scenarios, and there are calls for a way to reset skill points.
