I loved the gameplay... for the first half of the game that is. I played it on the standard difficulty setting and after my party leveled a little, the battles became a breeze. In the beginning, it can be challenging (but nothing too hard), later it just gets boring – battles consume time and the player doesn't feel rewarded for them. Items and new weapons seem pointless too.
The story is fine, the characters are very well-written. I didn't feel bored once with the dialogues nor skipped any of them.
The design of the characters is crazy good but the H-scenes look very mediocre in comparison. They're pretty bland.
Finishing the game I didn't feel like starting a new playthrough to see other routes. You can see recollection of other scenes after finishing the story, but I didn't check them out – my interest in the game was gone when it ended.
I want to give this game more than 3 stars, but it disappointed me in aspects I thought I'd love. It starts well, but in the later chapters becomes a drag. I just wish the gameplay was more polished and balanced in the later stages. I can still recommend it, though.
