This game is awesome. Blends tactical RPG gameplay with VN affection growing in a wholistic way where your actions in one gameplay type affect the other. The story is a pretty standard sentai-style "group of color-coded heroes destroy the great evil" plot but the moments the story has are fantastic, mostly in part to the excellent writing of the characters. The Tokyo Kagekidan is composed of some of my favorite characters in video games, and each member brings their own unique personality both in conversation and in combat. I also love the double-life dynamic each member lives as both a performance actor as well as a military soldier, and the drama motifs are awesome. The setting is also a wonderful fantasy steampunk rendition of 1920s japan. This game sets the stage(hah) for one of the best series Sega has ever made.
