This game is really hard to rate. The problems stem from how the story, voice acting, and difficulty are all so horribly bad that they make RE1 original look good. But the gameplay was so enjoyable on a fundamental level that it really makes the game worth playing.
The story is just an absolute mess with plot points that go nowhere, the will they won't they romance for 25 hrs., Claude's harem, and really bad character development. The most notoriously bad thing is the fact that the main villains are only explained in an optional text document that 99% of people will miss. The characters also speak in run-on sentences throughout the game, which is jarring. The voice acting in general is horrible except for the two primary characters. The translation is pretty bad from the original Japanese as well, making everyone way too obsessive over Claude than in the original game, no clue what the localizers were doing there.
Gameplay is amazing for the most part. The combat is a little too simple, but the fact that you can choose to break this game through being smart with the crafter is genius. All characters play roughly the same, but their special moves are unique. The world map is amazingly awesome, a true highlight to the gameplay.
Overall, I recommend this game, but be warned that the characters and story are awful in almost every way.

A lot of vibe, and the story seems great for what it is. The passive mechanics around developing your chracters is where the game shines though, puishing books to earn money to sink into smithing to make better weapons to sell for whatever is great.
The combat lost me completely though. The fights were split invariably in two far far too easily or overwhelmingly difficult. So i struggling to gel with it .Even after about 20 hours.
