I love this game. The combat is pretty terrible, the dating sim aspect is questionable and the story is... ehhh. But it's hilariously goofy, has pretty anime scenes and the combat is VERY unique. It's weirdly charming and will leave an impression on you.
I like some of the visual design here. I'm a big fan of 2D characters in 3D environments, and this game does it in a charming, high-color way. The towns are attractive, full of fun detail and structures that the camera weaves and rotates around. Speaking of the camera, I really like how swirls down into the action during dialogue to substitute its character sprites for their anime counterparts.
Virtually everything else about the game is substandard, though. I get it's going for a classic JRPG meets Sakura Wars thing, but the story, combat system, and dating system are all thin and don't feel like they're in conversation with one another. The whole thing is easy, slow, and bloated despite being on the shorter side. Characters aren't well developed, the world doesn't feel coherent or alive, and the story is the usual. Think of a JRPG plotline, it's that. Some of the technique being applied here is impressive to me, but what it's being applied to leaves a lot to be desired.

A weirdly charming game that despite starring a MC that has...a personality...and a horny one at that, the actual game is quite wholesome compared to JRPGs that followed.
The combat was pretty but also kind of forgettable, but the story and cast are quite charming, seeing you go on dates to power up and forge new weapons.
If this game was made today, we'd see some stoic and emotionless MC surrounded by a forgettable harem that showed their boobs off or were filled with lewd scenes.
Thankfully it wasn't made today, but in the past! So if you want a game that has dating mechanics interwoven with its gameplay, try giving this game a shot.
