MC is the third princess of her kingdom and is sent, as its knight, to kill the demon king Gardis. Along with her loyal knight Lezette, she sets out to complete this task. The game kept me on my toes throughout. I was so sure I got a bad ending early on, and then realized I wasn't anywhere near the grand finale. It's dark and bloody, but has many light moments, too. It's also rare that I actually enjoy a bad ending as much as I did (in the end, I did fail the first time around). It was so poetic and the cg was among my favorites!
However, the characters are somewhat predictable, except for Jin, who was way more troublesome than I expected him to be. It disconcerted me a little bit and I did not like feeling manipulated even in the ending, but fascinating nonetheless. Also his story felt a little less fleshed out than the other two endings. I wanted more!
At a certain point in Gardis route where I felt as if the story was not fitting the character. But it's not so bad that it can't be overlooked. The art clearly dated, but even so, extremely beautiful and I found the CGs perfectly placed and excellently executed. Finally, I really liked MC, what can I say, I enjoy being a total badass.
