After 110 hours and three out of five endings under my belt, I can say I'm officially done with this mess of a game. I've been defending this game since launch day. "Oh the bugs aren't THAT bad, I've seen worse! But I'm actually having fun with this! The weapons are fun to use! The characters are cool!"
Characters stop being great when they're written into dirt with unsatisfying endings, awkward as fuck sex scenes and plot holes a plenty. There was definitely some thought here but it got lost somewhere in the 8 years of development hell and what we got left with is a bug ridden potential that somehow hasn't been in the oven long enough, probably because the higher ups were too busy screwing over the chefs who were doing their best. I can only hope this game gets somewhat better over the coming months/years, but as of right now, don't do it.

i love reko yabusame so much and i truly wish the fans hadnt made me as averse to the game as i currently am
(edit 6/12/21 - heavy spoilers ahead) after having played 3-1b, i'm taking this down half a star. sorry, but we spent four or so hours building up how the dummies are just as human as the rest of them, only to unceremoniously murder them all at the end? and barely anyone reacts to it? then there's how the game is backflipping over itself to keep keiji alive. i went from tolerating to despising him because of this. also, shin's route is a disaster. "let's kill the surviving yabusame and give you two seconds to process it! okay now fight a chimera. itll never be mentioned again."
ranmaru kageyama my poor little meow meow i am SO sorry
