reception
According to the specialist magazine AnimaniA , the director lets the anime show the origin of a role-playing game, the plot always revolves around a group of characters who are constantly being followed. The backdrops are atmospheric and the female characters contribute a lot to the eroticism. The characters are all designed in a visually appealing way and the character development is solidly worked out. This creates tension, but the act of good versus evil is common. Some sex scenes in which Eto also wears his helmet and which also looked otherwise grotesque would take the story's credibility away.
During the game, according to the AnimaniA, the poor presentation of the mission cards are annoying, but the character design and the music would motivate you to play. As the level rises, the required action commands are hardly executable, which is frustrating.
