What I liked:
- Amazing turn based tactical shooter.
- Great game play and challenges, which make you think more tactically.
- A Loveable cast of unique and fun characters.
- Beautiful water colour visual style.

What I disliked:
- Easy to cheese at times.
- Can be a little too punishing at times which can be somewhat frustrating.
- Some annoying game design problems; inability to restart the round from the menu thus, forcing you to go back to book mode in order to do so. unskippable game cut scenes and (sometimes) dumb enemy movement which can make rounds feel a lot longer.
- Deployment phase map is lacking in detail.

Final thoughts:

A truly unique and classic game. If you have played VC4 then this will feel like a couple of steps back in terms of game design. I'd also recommend watching the anime if you loved the story. It fleshes out some characters a lot more as well as adds in a lot between chapters.
