Pros:
Loved the game. After watching all seasons of RWBY, going through the high and lows, I had an awesome time playing this game. Came for the lewds, stayed for the plot and characters, even the original ones. All of the characters fell completely natural, and the drama and humour made me smile countless times. Team RWBY being a group of side characters was a brave decision and it worked out great. The main plot line is completely original, and entertaining till the end.
Cons:
The only problems the game has are things that can be glossed over as long as you are hooked by the main plot.
1. Combat: In this game, you will only have to fight to avoid a game over scene a handful of times, but those times can feel incredbly annoying, as if you don't keep an eye on your health bar and try to skip through it as fast as possible, you will be sent back to the main menu. If you didn't save beforehand, its even more of a hassle.
2. The Weekday/Weekend System: On Weekdays you have free reign to do whatever you want at the school and in the city, but by the second half of the game there is lack of content in both of these areas. On Saturdays, you have a choice to progress your relationship with other characters, unlocking new events to fill locations. However, as you can only do one event per weekend, and you only have a limited number, you will find yourself unable to complete all of the games content in one run. While this could very well be on purpose. I feel like giving players the freedom to do everything there is to offer in one run offers closure and a better playthough. In the end it doesn't even matter as the third problem makes this impossible anyways.
3. Hidden Content: Since the game works on a timeline, if you don't complete events by a certain day, you will miss out on future events. This on its own isn't so much of a problem, but since you already don't have enough time to complete every Saturday event, you miss out on content you don’t know about as you watch the days tick down so quickly that you wont have time to finish the content you do know about.
4. The art is ok. The player models in the first half might make you cringe a little, but by the second half they are all updated and look beautiful.
Overall, I would not recommend this game to anyone that hasn't watcher RWBY. However, I think a surprisingly good way to get into it without watching the show (past season 3 plz watch 1-3 RIP Monty Oum). As a fan, every minute playing this game was worth it.
