I'm going to tell ya the real deal. No fancy words.
First the most important thing, there is no sprite scenes... instead of that you get CG scenes in mid fight (out of fights you get them too), semi-animated with sound and voice... Btw, the amount of them is HUGE, you won't get bored. 10/10
Now the minor details:
- Art: amazing. You can tell in the screenshots, all the same quality.
- Gameplay: The game is so good that you can enjoy it even without the porn.
- Difficulty: meh, average. It's not hard but if you make mistakes you are going to get punished so pay atention.
This game has a lot of "old school" exploration (the game won't hold your hand), you need to talk to every NPC and a lot of the times they give important info even when it looks minor. Pay atention all the time. You'll need to revisit places sometimes.
Also a note: there is a curse that most people complain, you'll need to use the heart shaped item to reduce EST. You can play with the curse that way and you won't annoy you anymore.
