I want to like this game more. The art is good and I generally enjoy RPGM games.
However there are several things that have held it back for me,
1. The machine translation is bad, very bad. Most of the dialogue isn't coherent in any way
2. Combat is very annoying. You get one companion, Rude, who essentially acts as a healer for the party. If he goes down in combat, then he doesn't revive once the battle is over. There is also no way to select him in the menus, so you can't give him better gear. This wouldn't be so bad, if Poison didn't last forever.
Once poisoned you will take poison damage over time until you either rest or have Rude heal you (Which you can only do in battle because you can't select him in the menu) So if Rudy is dead, then you'll be running across the overworld with 1 hp desperately trying not to run into enemys on fear of death. Dying leads to a game over.
There don't seem to be any potions in the game that cure poison, so that means you have to keep Rude alive (Which is hard because he's several levels under you) Or you have to buy the spell yourself to heal.
Adding on to this, some enemies can drain your mana as well, so if Rude goes down and you're suffering from poison, they can drain you till you have no way to heal yourself.
3. Sometimes, the cutscenes just break. The characters will just stand in place and you'll have to close and re-open the game, get back up to where the cutscene happens and hope it doesn't happen again. It's annoying and can be a serious waste of time. By far the biggest problem with the game.
4. Just general sloppiness, One of the Inns, the door sprite is positioned over your character sprite, so when you leave, your character is hidden behind the door. There are occasional trees that have the top half missing for no real reason. At some locations there are small cracks on the ground that you can't walk over, so you have to go around them. In one instance, an NPC you can rescue from a deserted village, her sprite isn't removed after rescuing her, so if you go back, she's still standing there, unable to be interacted with.
5. The World feels empty. There are a notable lack of NPCs in the game, for instance the Church in the major city, only has the Priest in it, who only has a single line of dialogue and offers no buff or stat boost. Most of the doors on houses are locked or they're missing doors entirely It makes the World feel much smaller.
6. The H scenes themselves. There's not much variation in the scenes. The brothel has 2 scenes, with some changes in dialogue, a rare few enemies have recycled scenes on your defeat. Rude has a couple though they share some scenes with the brothel as well.
