Great game, tough gameplay
I really enjoy this type of games that are like a VN, but with some strategy, resource management, gameplay. It is pretty nice to play the story and try to do your best to unfold it, to get different outcomes depending not only on your choices, but your achievements, you might've not been able to finish some quest or killing some enemy.
However, there are 2 things I think the game should improve, gameplay and difficulty.
If you play the game as intended, which is actually somewhat enforced, since it's the only way you can level up and start with a stronger, better equipped and wealthier character, the thing is that it's very hard to progress. You'll die several times in the first chapter, and it's harder later on, at least on my experience, because battles drag too long, you have to become some kind of killing machine since there are battles in which you kill over 10 enemies, and they keep coming...it drags too much the gameplay.
The other thing the game should improve is the UI, it does the job, but is far from attractive and polished, it lacks many qol improvements like loot all items, easy compare items and many small things that pile up.
Would also add now that I think about it more types of music.
Still, it's a great game, enjoyable, there's a story mode to make it easier, and the base is pretty solid, if they build more upon it, they can create a formidable game.
I bought all the expansions to support them but haven't tried them yet, hope they keep going.
