These games are really imaginative, funny and beautiful with wonderful soundtracks. But like many classic adventure/puzzle games they are kind of dated. The gameplay is slow and clunky, mostly trial and error with some irritating timed events. Probably best played with a walk-through.
Objectively speaking, this is at best a mediocre game. The turn-based combat, while fun and simple, is extremely repetitive and you will either be farming weak mobs of enemies who pose no threat or fighting surprisingly hard boss monsters in drawn-out battles. Besides turn-based fights there's very little else to do in this game. There are collectibles of a sort and you can customize your characters with different weapons and equipment, but 99% of the game is about wandering the dungeons and grinding mobs. As objectively mediocre as it is, there's just something about this game that I love. I find the characters funny and lovable, the style and humour are great, and there's so many little things like the voice lines in battle and the weird and imaginative monsters that make me love this game despite its flaws. It's not for everyone but if you like cute characters, lighthearted humour (with many many meta-jokes and references) and simple fun gameplay that doesn't require you to think too much then maybe check it out. Also helps if you like Anime I guess.
