Steam reviews

What players say

Players overwhelmingly recommend the game, mainly for its story and writing, with a generous free-to-play model as a second draw.

Many players say the story and writing are the main reason to play: characters are well written, the later cantos are called emotionally devastating, and the worldbuilding draws on classic literature. Music and voice acting are often praised, and the combat is seen as deep but simple once learned. The monetisation earns much goodwill: a shard system lets players farm the characters they want, the premium currency is easy to earn, and many say the game is playable free. Criticism centres on a slow start in the first two cantos, a steep learning curve, a text-heavy combat system, and grinding to keep up with the story. Recent reviews are more divided: several complain about balance changes that weakened the Canto X boss and about how developers communicate with the community, while the story praise remains.

Praised

  • Story and writing

    Players call the narrative the best part, especially from the middle cantos on, with complex characters and emotional payoffs.

    Many players
  • Generous free-to-play model

    Players say the gacha is fair: the shard system and easy premium currency let them get characters without spending much.

    Many players
  • Music and sound

    The soundtrack and sound design are repeatedly named as standouts that heighten emotional scenes and combat.

    Some players
  • Deep, readable combat

    Turn-based combat with many skill interactions is called deep and satisfying once understood, with good boss fights.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Slow start

    Reviewers say the first two cantos are slow or dull before the story becomes engaging.

    Many players
  • Steep learning curve

    Combat is described as complex and text-heavy, and new players find the many identities and systems overwhelming.

    Some players
  • Balance changes and difficulty

    Some recent reviewers say the Canto X boss was weakened after launch, while others find the game too easy in late stages.

    Some players
  • Developer communication

    Players criticise how the developer handles community feedback and its game design decisions, especially in recent months.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy story-driven games, visual novels and turn-based strategy, and who can accept a slow opening and a gacha model.
Who should skip it
Players looking for a challenging combat game or who dislike gacha systems and heavy reading should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours more often criticise the balance changes and late-game difficulty, while newer players focus on the story and free-to-play generosity.
