Just finished the game, and it was meh. I felt disapointed throught the whole experience. Before I speak ill, the annoyance I felf after feeling as if i wasted 4-5 hours, about two of useless grinding, I didnt feel as annoyed after reading the comments, dev isnt as shit as I originally thought.
Graphics: Ill give it like a B. The unique claymation style art is decent. The backgrounds were all amazing, but charecters seemed off. The lack of emotiom bothered me with this art style. Plus the eyes that stares into the pit of your soul is offputting. Although, im not sure how to fix that, and the bodies were pretty good.
Gameplay; C. it was meh. Stats seemed unimportant, looking for items even more so. Like the dev had plans but bailed later on. Im not sure if knowledge effected anything aside from maybe advancing one evenf, same with ability. Threat was only relevant for the first chapter, it felt more like filler than anything.
Charecters: B. They were fine. Non of which stood out to me neither in a good or bad way. They had some personality which fell through at times, other times their personality changed, primarily in the last chapter. Which is mostly caused by gameplay/story changes.
Story: C. I would say the story was a B, maybe an A. However the ending went by so quickly... Everything seemed to be pushed away to end the game quickly. Chapters 2-3 also felt very short as well, only existed to get it over with. The massive cliffhanger was a disapointing one as well. It started with really good world building! able to learn a bit about cultures, different parts of history, and the different kinds of magic. However after a while, the world building became unimportant and i felt talking to charecters about it became a chore because the game was rushing me.
Lastly, the tags also disapointed me. "Management" and "Trainer" dont effect the end product at all. Not a trace of it. Which is a shame because Management was the primary reason I played it. Love that shit. Plus Mind Control has little, to no effect on the game. We use it effectivly on one girl, ever. Then at a certain point becomes pointless, only to be useful for plot convenience..
Overall, Id give it a C. Its passing, I understand why some could enjoy it. Ill jm just going to move on, If i ever see the dev continue this one, or make a sequel ill try it. Just wont get my hopes up.
