I recently played the demo. I knew about it since 2020, but didn't get around to play it until now. It was fun! I like the action elements. I have never really played a tRPG (or a rhythm game, lol), but I think without the action I would find it either too boring or too complex.
I died two times (well, actually it was always Glasya) because Glasya's animations causes the bars to lag hard. I just thought "eh, cass will optimize it eventually". I had to play on low spec mode because of the black screen. After finishing the demo, I read here to run the game on my graphics card (which it didn't by default). I booted up the game again, could now turn low spec mode off, and the game ran smoothly. It felt like I was playing on easy mode. Oh, well.
I experimented with separating and joining Glasya and Lynnoe, but I couldn't find an advantage of separating, so I kept them togehter.
I'm not sure if I understood ranged attacks correctly. You move the bar over the target and then just press A three times before the timer runs out? No rhythm game like with regular attacks? That seems weird as it might be easier than a regular attack. I would expect the ranged attack to be like a regular attack plus an additional challenge or similar but harder. For example aligning the bar and in case of success, then executing the regular attack. So that it is definitely harder than a regular attack.
During the escape sequence I wasn't sure of the way to go. It wasn't obvious which tiles on the map are traversable and which are not. An optional technical view of the entire map, that shows that with colours, would be nice. Or did I miss something? But in this case the intuitive way was the right one, so I found it rightaway.
The music is fire. It gives me Reborn vibes in a good way.
The dialogue character art looks great. I empathize with Nova, she looks like she's having the worst hangover. Probably from drinking too much water.
Favorite character: ARDA. Even before it took a role in the plot. Just by moving in battle like every regular unit, it won my heart.
