It's a pretty decent game. I got a little tired of the moral lessons the narrator was teaching me, and at first I was a bit turned off by the quality of the sprites, since they're even lower quality than Disgaea's. (During battle sequences, that is.)

But, all in all, it was an enjoyable game, and the gridless battles worked well.

It was my least favorite of the trio of recent Nippon Ichi (NIS?) games, but I enjoyed it more than Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure.
