What real reviews say

★★★★★ Worth The Money No micro transactions. Roguelite gameplay that builds death and respawning into the story. Both combat (main gameplay loop) and planet expeditions (mini games) are fun. Only complaint is there a long dialogue at the end of chapter 5 with no save in between. If you don’t finish the dialogue you have

★★★★★ Really fun But I keep getting this bug where in battle the game just closes. I restart the app and I have to restart the entire fight from the beginning. It happens a lot, currently I’m stuck because I can’t get past this battle without it happening.

★★★★★ My thoughts of chapter 5 The over all story was amazing the conversation at the end with the emperor really wrapped up almost every word of dialogue. I read thus far the reveal at the end. I finally got my memories. Back was astonishing
