PSA: the fist part on this series, Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius, IS FREE ! Go play it before this one ! (Your save carries over.) The following applys for both games: This is a really good Tactic RPG, mixed with element of Visual Novel. On the tactical part, the game is a little rough, but really good. Taking place in space, all environments are the same (emptiness), but the missions provide a good variety of situation, avoiding repetition. The combats are highly based on your ability to calculate, focus and spread damage among ennemis. So if you are into figuring out dice roll probability, this game is for you. This is helped (or complexified) by customizable stats for your units. Just be wary of the difficulty, this game is not kind on mistakes. On the Visual Novel part, this goes full Anime. You've got mecha, harem, over the top bad guys, all the tropes, with a touch of crazyness. But, there is nearly no branching story and if you expect mature content, it is there, but extremely sparse (and it is actualy a good thing). Where the game fails, is on the technical part. It has been made with a VN engine that was never supposed to be turned into a T-RPG engine. This lead to a few bugs, crashes, but most importantly, bad performance on some machine. Being a turn based game, it may not be a issue for you (it was not for me), but if you expect a polished game with responsive interface, you may be disapointed. Anyway, play the fist game, if you like it, play this one, if not, you did not lose any money.
