Practically all its flaws, including its disappointing meta narrative, shallow implementation of Lovecraftian imagery and lack of any real distinguishing identity are all but rendered void by its ephemeral length and what remains is a satisfying 2D hack and slash with a ridiculously addicting dash system.
I don't have the time to play anything longer at the moment so being able to get the high from beating this in one evening was a real life-saver

Despite this only being the second game in the Crossbell arc, Azure feels like it's paying off a saga's worth of plot threads in the state. Contains one of the longest climaxes I've seen in anything and every second of it was worth it. KeA top 1.
P.S. Anyone who thinks the antagonists are lackluster is illiterate.

This feels like a story I will grow on to cherish for eons, its sheer earnestness kinda blew me away and I had a tear running down my cheek during the entire last stretch, which is my favourite ever. Absolutely what I needed to hear.
Bazett is truly the Joker for VN readers.

Special note has to go to its handling of Shirou's legacy and how the entire thing is essentially about a protagonist who was inspired by his deeds, which is incredibly fitting from a meta perspective for an epilogue like this one.
