The story is where it truly shines, it doesn't follow the usual anime tropes, where everyone is op and somehow survives fighting everyone else in a war but instead isn't afraid to kill off a character. The gameplay is also different than other tactical RPG, which is nice.

My only complaint is the RNG aspect of the battles, I've seen people defend it by saying that "if you plan well, it won't matter" but sometimes you may plan things really well only for it to be ruined because an enemy managed to win the evasion skill check and ducked to then perhaps counter-kill you, or you completely missing a shot from your tank because you failed your accuracy skill check causing you to then waste your command point/s, all these can really force you to save scum.
