Don't expect a masterpiece of literature and philosophy, at least not in English. Dies Irae is just a fun chuunige with over-the-top action and cool chants. I need to reread it in Japanese one day because the translation couldn't reproduce Masada's prose, which is one of the major strengths of the game. The lines just sound corny in English. That's the case in Japanese too, but the game is written in a way that makes you take it seriously.

It remains engaging overall thanks to the cast of charismatic characters and beautiful drawings of G Yuusuke. Fights were a bit too explanatory but very cool. Loved Shirou and Ellie.
