A consistently highly fun experience, which is rare for a VN of this length. I was mindblown by every route. The main character, heroines and antagonists are all good or great across the board, which is also rare for a VN. The soundtrack and art are very much "early 2000s VN vibes", in a good way.

This is basically essential reading if you're really into chuunige, given the fact that it is believed that this served as inspiration for Fate and Dies irae. Whether you're into other Nitroplus stuff like Muramasa, Light, Type-Moon or mecha, I would recommend it. It is pretty underrepresented in the western VN fanbase, especially considering that other 2000s VNs are usually the most popular and acclaimed ones. Unfortunately the sequel is literally unplayable except Windows XP, and even then it sometimes doesn't work.
