I bought this game on a whim based on a lot of hype around it. I must admit I didn't expect to like it, this is one of the few occasions I am happy to have been proven wrong.
It's my GOTY so far for 2021 of games I've played.
It's a mixture of visual novel / adventure game and strategy combat. The adventure parts take up 80% of the game compared with the combat. During this aspect you take control of 13 characters at different times piecing together the story unlocking more characters and scenes. To be honest most of this kind of blew my mind in how crazy everything that happens is and it comes together really well except for a couple of small loose ends. Not going to go into it as I won't spoil anything but it's addictive, I loved I had no idea what was happening for the longest times.
The combat is pretty basic but I quite enjoyed the speed it aims for in destroying the enemies as quickly as possible. You can equip your party and adjust the load outs of their weapons and skills. You get a birds eye view of a digital view of the city and need to use heavy weapons to wipe them out as quickly as possible. While the whole OST is fantastic I found the combat music especially great and has been on my walkman since I played this.
Production wise the game is stunning, I love the art, the colour palette, and I chose to play the game in the Japanese dub and thought the voice acting was perfect. Overall I think the game took about 30-35 hours and I have thought about it fairly often since.
+ Fantastic characters and story.
+ Gorgeous art.
+ Great OST.
