Overambitious story-focused TRPG that is far too repetitive and unintuitive gameplay-wise to warrant its length of 70+ hours.
+ 5 sequential generations with a gradually changing main cast; each facing their own struggles and having distinct virtues
+ many dialogue choices without super obvious reactions
+ nice character sprites and voice acting
+ uniquely flexible if flawed combat design
+/- steady number increments demanding consistent effort and time on any difficulty
- basic and unrewarding level-up system
- only superfluous differences between settings
- bad exploration maps (dark grey color palettes, confusing layouts, random encounters)
- numerous unimportant fights picking from a tiny array of battle arenas
- near unachievable true ending requirements without a guide
- several overcomplicated/unpredictable combat mechanics that make most battles more frustrating than fun

On the surface this game is just another fan-servicey SRPG, beyond that it's a pretty compelling eugenics simulator with overly complex and poorly explained mechanics. I think going into this game blind WILL kill it for you, but if you look up a guide it's pretty fun to exploit the timing and child systems. Ambitious and memorable.
Plusy: niezłe tła fabularne, ciekawy system walki, japoński dubbing
Minusy: słaba grafika, generalnie nędzne wykonanie
