has some good ideas but awful execution in basically every regard. the characters are a mixed bag, the aesthetic is diluted and unremarkable because of the remake's graphics, gameplay is intrusively bad and only requires you to hold one button every battle for 20+ hours. music is pretty good and I actually like the art a lot, but the clever designs and great artwork only really shine in the menus since the graphics ingame are dogshit.

there are some really good characters such as izuru, eiji, and kuchinashi, but they are pretty heavily outweighed by the uninteresting or down right awful characters, and most of the ones who dont suck take over half of their social link to get interesting.

regardless it was pretty entertaining at times and from what I've heard it seems like they made a genuine effort to improve upon its issues in the sequel, so im prolly gonna check that out despite this game being pretty shit
