it sucks the dating is super undercooked the strategy gameplay is the worst ever like worse than fire emblem 2 for the nes it starts really strong but never progresses and the main dating stuff never really gets specific to whatever girl you like so it doesnt really develop you just get a different ending cutscene not even a date! sad not a good game. could have good sequels tho? but meh

This is a game you've probably already come up with in your head if you've ever even remotely explored the idea of creating something yourself. It's cool someone actually did it, but this is the type of idea I've had then thought "I need to actually do more with this than just get meta" and dropped it.

One of the best in the series only behind Yakuza 0 and 6. Dragon Engine hits its stride with the combat styles finally feeling as good as 0, and the story/side modes are some of the best. Only thing holding it back is the still somewhat janky/frustrating/boring detective mechanics like sneaking and trailing, although nowhere near as prevalent as in Judgment 1.
