Good game, but slow mechanics
This is the second game I've played from Kagura Games, the first being Treasure Hunter Claire, and I found myself comparing the two a lot. First, this has good gameplay. It's a bit laggier than I would expect from something like this, and some of the later areas felt like slideshows when I'd either mash attack or use a screen-clearing attack, but it was fun. I like the real-time combat here more than I liked Claire's turn-based system. The Alchemy mechanic is fun, and I like that as the game progresses, you can start to request items you'd grind for early on, meaning that you spend less and less time going back to areas you've been to for alchemy ingredients you need. Second, the scenes are good. This is an h-game, and if you're here for h-scenes, they're here. Again comparing it to Treasure Hunter Claire, though, I feel like they were much less emphasized here. Treasure Hunter Claire felt like an H-Game with RPG elements on top of it, and this feels like an RPG game with h-elements on top. My primary complaint, like I said in the title, is that everything in this game feels slow. There's a little five-ish second animation for everything you do, and a lot of things can't be done in bulk, and the late-game is mostly running between the quest givers and the Altier over and over to make single items to complete quests. Something Claire did that this didn't, as well, was that Claire's NG+ let you bring items into the new playthrough, and this game desperately wanted that. NG+ is barely any faster than a fresh playthrough, since the limiting thing in this game is ingredients. That's the only reason I didn't go for all five endings in this one; it'd take hours just to try for the ending I can't get from my first save's position. Overall, it's a great game, just expect to spend a lot of time waiting. Also, I didn't find out until the last hour of gameplay that you can quick-swap spells with Q. That would've helped. Some guy in town eventually tells you that.
