The highlights of this game are the tactical turn-based battles, the beautiful HD-2D graphics, and the rich and profound war story. Looking at the survey results, it seems like these parts of the game were well received by the players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, there were feedbacks regarding long loading times and cumbersome UI, and the developer will make various adjustments for the game\u2019s full release. \u201cLoading times during events have been reduced and are now approximately 10 seconds shorter in the most notable scenes. We aim to further shorten loading times by launch.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Auto-play and Skip features for event scenes will be added, along with conversation logs and character profiles. Hard and Easy difficulty settings will be available for battles as well.
