❤ Dungeon Crawling and Exploration

Players explore intricate, maze-like dungeons from a first-person perspective, navigating through various floors and rooms. The game features a large, interconnected world of dungeons, with each area having its own distinct visual style and layout. Reviewers praise the dungeon design, noting that the mazes feel challenging yet fair, encouraging players to carefully map out the areas and plan their routes. The dungeons blend combat encounters, environmental puzzles, and scripted events to keep the exploration engaging. Many reviewers highlight the inclusion of powerful "FOE" enemies that roam the dungeons and must be strategically avoided or defeated.

❤ Turn-Based Combat and Party Building

The turn-based combat system draws inspiration from Shin Megami Tensei, with an emphasis on exploiting enemy weaknesses, managing resources like SP, and strategically using a variety of spells and abilities. Reviewers praise the depth and flexibility of the combat, noting that it strikes a good balance between accessibility and challenge. The ability to "hijack" enemy characters and add them to the player's party is a unique and engaging mechanic, allowing for customization of the team. The fusion system, which lets players combine characters to create new, more powerful ones, is also highlighted as a satisfying gameplay loop.

❤ Difficulty and Challenge

Reviewers describe the game's difficulty as challenging but fair. The early dungeons and encounters require players to carefully manage their resources and strategize, but the difficulty curve feels well-paced, with options to increase the challenge for more experienced players. The post-game content, including a tough final boss, is praised for providing a satisfying endgame challenge that tests players' party-building and combat skills. Reviewers appreciate the game's flexibility in allowing players to adjust the difficulty through the Grimoire system.

❤ Quality of Life Features

Reviewers highlight several quality of life features that enhance the overall experience. These include the ability to re-do stats and party composition at any save point, the "Hijack" system's bullet hell-inspired minigame for character recruitment, the checkpoint system that allows players to return to a save point upon defeat without losing significant progress, and the inclusion of various gameplay modifiers (Grimoires) that let players tailor the experience to their preferences. Reviewers appreciate how these features help to streamline the dungeon crawling and party building, reducing potential frustrations and allowing players to focus on the core gameplay loop.
