just an all around great entry. it has dungeon crawling which is ACTUALLY FUN, a first for the rance series. its got a fantastic ost as usually with the typical hilarious writing combined with a story with massive stakes. everything is sprinkled nicely throughout the gameplay so its hard to get bored.

until the post game. grinding for the true ending is pointless and annoying. do not recommend. just clear the important characters (everyone but tamanegi) and finish the extra missions and move on

this game definitely has some issues but its also one of the most consistent bouts of fun i've had playing a game, I love it
