The concept is interesting and the graphics are really neat. There's a lot happening, but it's pretty tough to follow all of the nuances of the various mechanics, at least in the first playthrough. I can tell who is going to do damage to who, but initiating breaks and what all of the many symbols mean starts to get a little fuzzy. Squad relationship based unlocks and bonuses are really neat, but while there's a way to track the former, the latter gets lost after an initial mention. I'm also not super keen on the roguelike approach for a many hour long run. The unlocks are fun, but just how long do I want to spend between earning them? I think that one attempt will do it for me, but I enjoyed that attempt.

Love, Hate game. Definitely fun little game.
I want to like the game but I can't recommend it
I really enjoyed this game, especially the active-turn battlebar at the top of the combat screen. While the specific damage or effect of a skill sometimes had some unpredictability, I could always count on turn order, and that gave me a lot of ability to strategize a plan. The bosses are MASSIVE and fighting them was often very challenging...but that just made victory so much more satisfying! Being able to explore an 'overworld map' was also a fun bit of nostalgia, a la early Final Fantasy games. Building team chemistry is no joke, allowing players access to new abilities in-run, and new characters post-run. The dialogue is often a little hokey, but you can always see the developers putting their own personality into the game, which is a nice touch!
Looks pretty cool, feels like a very basic JRPG and those are a very dated concept to me.
Game was interesting. Dialogue was trash.
I got this at a great discount, just $5, but even still, does not feel worth it to me. Combat timeline seemed interesting at first, but too much information is obscured, like what debuff Guardian damage types do, and it just doesn't hold interest. Runs are too long (like 4+ hours), feels like a chore just to get one win.
