Reception

Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 2 out of 5 score, and criticized the lack of explanations for many of the elements of the game, such as the icon-based system for responding to characters, while also praising the character animation.[7]

Erren Van Duine of PlayStation LifeStyle also disliked the lack of in-game explanations, but gave praise in particular to the art style, character animation, backgrounds, story, and the English localization, while criticizing the role-playing segments for being too frustrating and luck-based.[8]
