This game simultaneously rocks and fucking sucks. The mechs are so damn cool like peak mecha design. The worldbuilding and take on alternate history is so damn excellent. The coup arc is awful and bends over backwards to suck off Imperial Japan. The entirety of the Chomp onwards to the end of Chapter 7 made me cry several times and was mental warfare but also peak. Each of the girl's deaths near the end hit me hard, and then all of the Valkyrie's deaths are ass except for Michiru's which was great. Takeru has the best long term char development ever. I love S00mika, she deserved far better than this game and some better characterization. I love them both. The char designs are so awful and yet so endearing. The music is surprisingly catchy and the va pretty good overall. Yuuko is so damn good and maybe the best character the series has. The eroge elements are ass, ik it's an eroge but idc I came for the mecha. Takeru being a combination of every route's Takeru is both peak and stupid as shit. The ending is good, I will not move on that.

Don't skip Extra and Unlimited you pussy. Play them first and then you can play this steaming pile of peak garbage.
