+ Different attack types (Shot and Combat)
+ Being able to switch in characters mid battle is fun
+ Sub-Weapons are nice for customization

- Random battles every two seconds, literally. Think about that: Every. Two. SECONDS.
- Random battles take several minutes. As I said in the review, combine these two cons and you find yourself taking five minutes to walk down a hallway, and I was lowballing that estimation by a lot.
- For all the cool combat ideas in this game, not many battles actually challenge your ability to apply them, making fights boring in spite of all the good ideas.
- No healing items really forces your hand as far as who you need to use more frequently, unless you intend to skip a lot of fights to keep your Subtanks up.

Overall, while the combat system is neat, the game squanders it by never actually forcing you to be any good at it. Also, the random battles take forever and there are far too many, making it feel like you’re never making any progress going through the dungeons. The system for healing characters more-or-less shoehorns Cinnamon into your group or forces you to run away from several fights.

Second of all, as a critic, I need to review the game for all demographics, not just you. A game needs to be rated for the sum of its parts, and not just the things you find important. Thus, if a game tries to deliberately give us a cinematic, narrative experience, it merits being critiqued. Anything less is an insult to the readers AND the creative body behind the narrative.

As a reader, you’re fully able to read just the sections which you value, and you’re also able to read the score with the idea in mind that maybe the critic has different values than yourself. We aren’t responsible for that.

Thanks for reading my review.
