This is the new top of my favorite games ever list, the best kind of 7/10. I fell in love with the characters basically immediately. The combat also perfectly scratches an itch I didn't realize was there: simple to learn but very difficult to master. The story is fairly simple but it tells itself well; it's a story of found family and community conquering world-shattering evil. The romance options are a bit basic and the midgame does drag a bit, especially in the time between where you can max out all of the characters, but it's one of those things where I'm really complaining that there wasn't *more*. That's what AO3 is for, I guess, though last I checked this game didn't have any fics. You want something done right etc etc I guess.

Anyway, if you think you'll enjoy this game and the combat scratches your itch, you almost definitely will. I'm grateful this exists and can't wait for the next thing the devs come up with, unless it's another run and gun.
