What players say

94% of 5,237 reviews are positive · 94% of 195 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the characters, worldbuilding, and combat, especially the turn-based system. The most common complaint is that the story spends too long on dialogue and setup before its central conflict develops; some players also criticize the English localization as wordy or awkward.
