Likeable fairly unique game.I got close to healing claude, but ran out of time twice. Considering how many more patients there are the difficulty ramps up a little too quickly for my taste.
Game is a little difficult at first, for better or worse. I don't think I would want an extremely easy game. The main character is hyper sexualized.

Which side did you choose? I am choosing the Phoenix because it makes sense to conquest as much as possible. Furthermore, trying to stop a war with a civil war is like trying to halt a fire by pouring lighter fluid in the fire's wake. There is no sense to the guardian's path at all, they seem like a bunch of terrorists.
I had a lot of trouble with the first three bosses, then I beat the last 4 bosses on first try each. I had to replay some of the stages to get enough hearts and diamonds. That slug boss on round three was particularly difficult. Was epic and fun. Going to try the mini games and escape mode.
The gameplay mechanics are sound, I enjoyed the game. Would get 4/5 star, but the objectification of women gives -1 star, so 3/5. This game blatantly sexual objectifies women. There is nothing sexy about sexual objectification. "Objectification of women results in lack of empathy" Live science
Neither is it sexy or cute as shandriz would suggest for women to suffer disordered eating nor depression from sexual objectification.
Game developers have a moral responsibility to avoid sexual objectifying women. The game would have been better if it was magic treasures that gave abilities that the dragon was hoarding in lieu of princesses.

I enjoyed the game. This game is sexist though, the princess are sexual objects to be acquired. See video for why the damsel in distress trope objectifies women.
