There is no point system, but I'd give this game a 2.5/5 rather than a 3. The developer had so much ambition that he put unique gameplay elements into the game to make it stand out more from generic RPGM games but in the end his implementation of said gameplay elements are poorly thought out and would only frustrate majority of the players thus repelling them from playing/ trying out this game. The game is actually pretty average-below average in terms of quality (all features considered.)
The art is pretty good-decent but the CG scenes are repeated most of the time (like the same picture for a different scene with altered dialogue). I was surprised by the amount of pictures/CG this game has on CG viewing websites like Hitomi.la, but alas that was all for naught since most of the CGs are the same pose but in a different costume. Don't get me wrong there are a couple of unique CG's (maybe 10-30), and among those, some gets recycled for other H scene scenarios.
For the gameplay aspect this game is unique in a way from other RPG games in that you don't level up but increase your stats with items dropped by enemies (capping out at 999 hp= easy to reach mid game, and 999 mp= 160 mp is what I've reached on a non mage character in end game but it's plentiful enough once you use the OP staff weapons= mana regen per turn/ outside of combat.) The gameplay is unique but can be incredibly frustrating early on since even random mobs will 2 shot you, so you need to get a 4 man party ASAP and grind some enemies to increase your hp to decent levels in order to have a decent chance. But once your hp is at a certain high enough level, then enemies become more of a fodder than a threat to you. The game is balanced enough that you don't need to do the cheat well to beat the game. I beat it on 100%=normal difficulty. The quest system may be a bit frustrating to players who are used to modern games with decent to great QOL features. There is almost no marker indicating where to go in your quests, who you can receive your quests from, which area has H scenes, etc. The quest log has hints as to how to progress your quests, but that's it. You need to use your player knowledge/intuition in order to finish the quest and find the proper item/npc/kill the enemy.
The story is generic RPG hero/heroine saves the world from evil bad guy/God for about 95% of the game's playtime. This game is unique in a way that you can recruit playable/party NPC's any order you want, and you can explore the open world and form a party with characters you like, the playable NPCs are pretty decently written in their own respective quests with their own motivations (they are not written like generic H game characters wherein male = automatic pervert, or female = automatic H scene bait). But that's where the praise for playable NPCs end, since after their questline is finished, they will barely react/interact with the world/ other party member's questline. The remaining 5% of the game is where the plot twist happens, and the game becomes rather interesting story/narrative wise. The playable characters start interacting with one another and they become better characters due to this. Such a shame too since if the developer made the characters interact with the world depending on the quests, giving their own opinions and having unique ways to finish the quest depending on the party member with you would make this game significantly better, but alas this game is not that and the game suffers from it (narrative wise) since the playable NPCs are mostly silent once their questline is done.
I would recommend playing this game only if you have no other H RPG games to play since it has unique gameplay elements, good CG and a passable story (generic for about 95% of the time and 5% of the time is only when it gets good). There are countless other H games better than this but if you're looking for something to play, try this one out. Don't forget to follow Sleepy_heads guide on page 4 to find a way to enjoy this game since the game mechanics are really against the player in the early game.
