Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this pixel-art JRPG for its art, animation, humour and charming protagonist, though combat balance and an abrupt ending are the main complaints.

Many players praise the hand-drawn pixel art and manga-style cutscenes, the animation, the soundtrack and the comedy, and say the protagonist Akane and her robot companion Bot carry the game. Players enjoy the dense world of side activities and interactions with NPCs, and many say the game rewards exploring rather than fighting. Some players describe combat as too easy and repetitive, saying it quickly becomes overpowered, while others find the difficulty settings and random outcomes uneven. Several players say the main story ends abruptly and leaves threads unresolved, and a number of players point to a lack of a quest log, unclear onboarding and mini-game explanations. Some players report performance problems on Steam Deck, and a few mention bugs. Reviews from the last year, the only ones here, are mostly positive, with the criticism centred on balance, pacing and the ending.

Who it suits

Suits players who enjoy story-driven, character-led games with charming humour, slice-of-life detours and striking pixel art, and who care less about challenging combat.

Who should skip it

Should be skipped by players who want demanding combat, a clear quest log or a complete main story, and by those who dislike crude humour.
