Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want real-time combat may stop at the turn-based battle system
- Players seeking a short, mechanically focused game may find the 30+ hour story campaign too long
- Players looking for open-ended exploration may not find enough freedom in its character-led, choice-based structure
Our take on Rave Heart+
The bounce point arrives when combat begins: players who expect real-time action instead encounter turn-based battles. Those seeking a short campaign may hit another wall at the stated 30+ hour runtime, while story-focused players have additional characters, choices, and optional events to follow.
