All in all it's a pretty good game but it's not perfect. Far from it actually.
The good:
Artstyle is AMAZING! Absolutely killed the character designs and world! 10/10
Characters are all loveable and have good importance in the story!
Random(ish?) Events are nice to stumble upon and add depth to characters that are more cosmetic or essential to the gameplay! Well done!
The card game is actually really fun! Though sometimes it felt like it was just cheating me out of wins I got the hang of it really fast and it became my favorite activity to do.
The story is awesome! You killed it making everything revolve around the theme of the game! Great work!
The bad 馃様:
Combat is so unbalanced it's crazy, one minute you will be doing fine fighting in badass mode then the next you HAVE to grind a lot just to stand a chance against whoever is giving you trouble. IMO there should be an easy mode to make the story the main focus and not the fact that you just came over'ed 6 times in a row because you didn't have enough stews.
Speaking of grinding the grind is absolutely horrible and almost made me stop playing all together. It makes no sense that a you get so little drops from NPCs while you struggle to fight them if you don't spend even more time grinding for better equipment/stew. Btw you WILL lose if you don't have stews even with the best equipment, and not even that far into starting the game.
Sexual preference is meaningless in the actually story of the game. I understand if you choose top and it makes all the NPCs bottoms that's lazy game design but the fact that at least the love circle companions don't change in the sex scenes to compliment your preference is a little disheartening.
Mini games take waaaay to long to complete and sometimes it has delay input and causes me to lose health and sometimes lose all together.
Lastly, I wish that the proposal meant a little more. It would have been nice to propose to loyd before finishing everything and have him with me in all the cut scenes even if he doesn't say anything other than "I love you"
With that being said, the game is good but the main focus should be the story not the grinding. Add an easy mode for people who just want to experience the story, cut the cost of everything in half and make combat more player sided WITHOUT the stews.
