Great visuals, comedy, and character dialogue.

Needs some work in a few areas:

The main reason for giving a thumbs down is the mini game, as it feels unnecessary. If the "game play" aspect of a game doesn't change or evolve in some way it become annoying and repetitive. Better to remove it completely than include
something that was given minimum effort.

The use of loading screens is questionable as this is a visual novel, the dialogue is funny but there are only so many lines to go through before it is repetitive. Having to go through this loading screen for ever dormitory rest is annoying.

The story telling in some parts might need some changes. The choice to not give the POV their own quotes and instead use a summary of what you as the player are doing feel off compared to the flow of voice dialogue. There are also parts where the story is summarized what feels like a tl;dr of what is happening. These points in the story are infrequent but feel like lazy writing that still need to be polished out.

If you liked the strategy element of Dungeon of the Endless, this game is a disappointment.
Limited array of characters, completely removed the concept of melee specialists and melee weapons. Gear is no longer an upgrade investment but a matter what flavor element do you want to shoot.
Floors are limited to very few generators, removing the option to play at a higher level of risk and strategy. It really feels like a shoe-in of the original mechanic. The Dust mechanic is also toned down to the point where it's unnecessary to include. The merchant is also underwhelming.
The game is so easy it's boring. The monsters spawn at fixed locations, trivializing turret strategy. There are so few doors to open, they had to remove using them as a way to progress the research mechanic.
My hopes for this game where to be like Dungeon of the Endless but with more control over characters giving it a skill challenge on top of the already amazing strategy challenge we enjoyed. Endless Dungeon is a bare minimum reference to the strategy and themes of the first with flashy graphics and voice acted characters.
Edit:
While the game is a disappointment to my expectations, I still gave it a second chance and I can see why they simplified some of the original mechanics to fit into an action style game.
Putting my expectations aside, this game is enjoyable. However, my review will remain negative until more characters are added, among which they focus on adding melee specialists. The fact that they don't have this feels like they sacrificed a huge game play and content component of the game to instead focus on marketability by hiring voice actors, but lowering costs from hiring voice actors by having only six playable characters.

Alright, if you have a lot of free time and like hyperrealistic combat. Which means camping a bunker or getting shot the moment you step out of cover.
