As others have said, the gameplay here is a mix of Disgaea and Persona. The tactical combat is challenging and fun. It has a bit less production value because it's an indie, but personally, I think that adds a lot of charm. However, I had to dock one star because of the super racist antisemetic caricature of the shopkeeper, as well as other gnomes. Fortunately he's not that useful, so you can go most of the game without speaking to him, but if that still puts you off the game, I totally understand.
