## AI Review Analysis

Analyzed Sep 17, 2026

### Strengths

- A distinctive tactical experience combining XCOM-style turn-based combat with character-specific abilities and RPG-style progression
- A deep and rewarding character-building system using hundreds of trait, equipment, and job combinations
- An ensemble narrative and companion relationships featuring memorable allies and rich stories about NPCs and hostile factions

### Weaknesses

- The need to repeatedly farm traits, equipment, materials, and levels can make it feel like a mobile game or a Korean-style online game
- Difficulty rises sharply in the mid-to-late game due to enemy critical hits, ranged attacks, revival and invincibility mechanics, and similar gimmicks
- The story piles on too much lore, feels unfocused, and is criticized for having an unfinished ending that leaves many questions unanswered
