Fun short strategy game with quite enjoyable plot to boot, but only if you are doing a "good" route, that is capturing all enemy generals. Only by capturing all enemy generals can you properly enjoy this game with all its mechanics, sub-stories and difficulty spikes. On the other hand, the "evil" kill-all-generals route feels unpolished, unbalanced, and just outright unfinished with how abruptly it ends. It's worth trying only on your second playthrough if you still want more, but otherwise, if a player decides to tackle it first, it can undoubtedly ruin the whole experience for something that is otherwise a solid game.
6.5/10 Game For those looking for a game where you get to play as the villainess, beating up everyone you consider an enemy, and having a love interest. The story can be "generic" if you've read many stories of this genre and style, but the game keeps it relatively fresh enough that it can be overlooked. The gameplay is... something; if you're playing this for the story then easy mode is where its at (the game does explicitly tell you this). However, "strategy" mode- as the devs call it- is downright misleading. Strategy mode is basically the equivalent of hard mode in many other strategy games where the enemies either: have a higher level than your own characters (and in a game where 1-2 level difference results in a fairly large/annoying stat advantage for the enemy), or outstat them if they have the same level. This causes the player to choose between grinding the enemy bases (did I tell you that the enemies can respawn indefinitely?) for an hour or two (approximately 100+ turns) to reach suitable levels while actively cheesing the enemy boss or dropping the difficulty back to easy (there are no penalties in this case, I believe that you can get all achievements on easy mode). If you don't grind out character relationships to the maximum, you lose access to special duo skills that are either ridiculously strong (1 taps enemies or brings them to near 0) or are incredibly niche/unusable if the enemy takes their turns first. The majority of the game as a result is just kiting every strong enemy unit, auto-resolving bosses with several character stacks (assuming you capture enemy generals) until your main group can smash them to bits, grinding the enemy down piece by piece until the main boss can be captured. You will also be constantly outnumbered throughout the game, with the final act on the capture route being better since you gain access to an ability that balances out the playing field. The AI in the global map can be predictable at times, and their responsiveness is usually a result of Scarlet being near enemies or your units being adjacent to enemy frontlines. If you intend on playing on strategy, I recommend analysing the AI movement of troops on the map to camp areas where the frontline can remain stagnant as you farm. The airship mechanic is pretty good, since it's prevalent throughout the whole game and is probably your best friend. The majority of its skils however, is usually related to stalling enemies and it's probably what you're going to use 90% of the time. There are other skills, of course, but you either acquire them too late in the game to use them often (and the enemies too numerous/aggressive to warrant using the other skills) or they are fairly niche in comparison, albeit they are extremely good when used right. I've heard of translation issues, but I believe most of them have been patched out, with the main story being completely fine. There is only one side-story where the grammar is completely off but you only see it after an hour of grinding a certain pair of characters. The actual combat is short (sometimes it feels too short), with each scenario only being 3 turns in length. It can be quite easy to lose track of what turn you're on and how fast you can stack buffs before attacking the enemy. Sometimes the auto-resolve will do better than you, but by the end of the game you can often defeat enemies the auto-resolve can't. Most bosses need to be auto-resolved as their damage and skills in battle are both high and spammable. The shared mana system for your party is interesting, but severely hampers your options at the points where you need to chain several skills together. Combat is in a rock-paper-scissors-shotgun format where Scarlet has the shotgun which is fun. Overall, it's good, but it takes some time to get used to the combat mechanics. The artstyle and direction is nice, I like the voxel and pixel art during battles alongside the SFX and VFX. The actual character images are also very pleasing to look at. I only can complain about the devs not doing a certain alternate character sprite for one specific character, even after the change we see in dialogue. The music is good, but the same song is used for combat. The VAs are good as well, but for 90% of the game you'll just be hearing one guy shouting. There is not much replayability since there are only two main routes and a few variations in endings for each route.
What if you played an army from Fire Emblem and fought an army from Advance Wars? They have the advantage that they can keep patching their losses like it's nothing. You have the advantage that you keep adding more named characters with unique abilities. Your job is to look at the map, go "Wow, that's some serious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥," and then pull a victory out of your ass anyway. That said, I agree with the reviewer who said the nun is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ even by this game's standards.
