Started great. Really fun, the enemies weren't too many and the 6 items slot wasn't hard to manage. Then it slowly starts to get worse and worse, and by the time you get to the basement the game gets completely fucked. With no map you have to walk back and forth from the save-room 5000 fucking times because there are like 5 main puzzles active at a time and the game throws around all kinds of different items. Plus the enemies are literally everywhere and they get tougher and tougher making it a drag even to walk around. The story also doesn't help since it's the usual uninteresting abstract shit that requires you to go look it up on youtube (only to find out that it's as trashy as you thought it was). Oh, and of course it's full of random cringe waifus covered in blood. What a waste...

I fully expected to hear obnoxious meta jokes over and over, but this wasn't the case. The dialogues are mostly just decent but there's a lot of funny lines. The gameplay is really fun, nothing groundbreaking but I was never bored while shooting and exploring. There's just two main problems I had with it; there's little to no variety of enemies throughout the whole game and there's a lot of bugs (mostly stuff that can be fixed with patches). Luckily I didn't found anything game-breaking, just annoying little glitches. Overall it's a good game and a nice change of pace, people here giving low scores because "the jokes are cringe" are just pretentious

Deserves 5 stars but I can't give it more than 4.5 because the performance on day 1 were disgusting and almost on par with the Cyberpunk problems.
If the game wasn't as good as it is, everybody would still talk about those problems to this day.

I also chose to make a normie dex/blood build because the weapons looked cool, only to find out that they were bugged and didn't do any damage; and it took them like 2 fucking months to fix it, so I did the whole run with normal Quality weapons. NEVER play games on day 1 unless you absolutely can't wait, this shit will happen.

Good game overall, although it's a shame that the combat becomes absolutely garbage for a while after the "volcano event". The bosses are mostly trash; this combat system is so fun against normal enemies but it's clearly not made for boss fights, so why is the game filled with them? All of them are 90% R1/RB spam and 10% of trying to hit, now try to play that with all your stats lowered.
Rice farming is very tedious at the beginning but gets more "fun" as you progress, the game is generally not well paced.
The story is pretty decent for an anime game, but the game overall is too slow at the beginning and way too long.
Good starting point for a better polished sequel.
