Masterpiece. There's nothing else like it. It's a mixture of visual novel and tower defense strategy.
Describing this game isn't easy especially since 90% of it is story and you'd have to be a damn mad scientist to even write a narrative like this, it's something better experienced for yourself than having described to you, but all I can say is if you're even slightly a fan of Sci-Fi mystery stories, you really owe it to yourself to experience this one.
You experience the narrative through the eyes of 13 individual protagonists who control these mechs called Sentinels and have to work together to stop a Kaiju invasion from their city and as you go through the story and past events of each protagonist you are constantly unveiling mysteries that will make you question what's real and what isn't, who can you trust and how can you survive the invasion? Sounds like a simple enough plot, but trust me...It's not.
The tower defense strategy Kaiju battle sections were a lot of fun too and definitely give the game variety from just being a pure visual novel, being able to playthrough both the protagonists story sections and the battles at your own pace was nice too. If you just want to do the story you can just focus on that, if you want to do that battles you can do that or you can alternate between the two for variety.
The 2D visuals are beautiful, the OST is awesome being a mix of hard electronic beats and more organic classical strings which really fits well for the Sentinel vs Kaiju battles and during the story segments the OST is a lot more calmer and atmospheric, setting the mood.
In the entire 40 hours I put into this game I never felt bored once due to the cast of characters being interesting and likeable and so many plot twists and revelations constantly being thrown in your face, even though most of it makes no sense for the first half of the story, you're always compelled to learn more and the way it all comes together in the end is truly something marvelous and ingenious.
I have no complaints and would easily consider this one of the best VNs I've ever played and among the best narratives I've seen in a video game and I firmly believe that everyone should experience it.
