Game-specific assessment

Pros & Considerations

Battles

Enemies and party members occupy three vertical layers, so attacks can target or move between height bands rather than using a flat formation

Systems

Devouring dragons unlocks factors on character-specific skill trees, tying enemy hunting directly to permanent ability growth

Characters

The witch cast's dragon curse gives character stories and the central progression system the same narrative foundation

Voice acting

The PC release supports both English and Japanese full audio

◇Consider

Systems: The Devour and factor systems encourage repeated enemy hunting if you want to unlock large portions of every witch's skill tree

Tone: The story mixes dark body-horror concepts with Compile Heart's lighter character-event style
