❤ Fluid Hack-and-Slash Combat

At the heart of the gameplay, players wield a short sword or greatsword, chaining together combos to break through enemy shields. Precise timing is essential, as foes can quickly parry and counterattack if players don't properly dodge or block. Reviewers praise the combat's depth, particularly the satisfying rhythm of mastering the dodge-and-punish mechanics.

❤ Time-Pressured Dungeon Crawling

Between social activities, players must explore the dangerous "Wall" dungeons, racing against the clock to overcome traps, puzzles, and waves of enemies. While the environments themselves are relatively straightforward, the combat encounters and puzzle-solving elements provide a good challenge. Some reviewers wished for more varied dungeon designs to enhance the exploration.

❤ Endearing Character Relationships

A major gameplay focus involves developing relationships with the diverse cast of characters. Players can spend free time learning about their confidants, unlocking new abilities to aid in combat. Reviewers universally praise the quality of the character writing and voiced interactions, finding the relationships engaging and the romance options emotionally investing.

❤ Adjustable Difficulty for All Playstyles

The game's difficulty can be tailored to suit different player preferences. On lower settings, the combat feels relatively easy, allowing players to focus on the narrative and relationship aspects. Conversely, increasing the difficulty ramps up enemy aggression, presenting a significant test of player skill, particularly in the challenging boss encounters.
