What players say

Players are split on the challenge: some find it punishingly hard, others say it is manageable with patience and proper use of the five-element system. The game is praised for its tactical depth and variety of equipment and skills, but criticized for a weak story, limited enemy types, a cheap aesthetic, and a poor English translation.
