It's a pretty fun visual novel that's telling a non-linear story with tons of plot twists. Some of it is slice of life in school, so if you're not into that particular anime genre, maybe steer clear as it's the main focus even throughout insane narratives.
There's some gameplay that's relegated to a different mode that's kinda like a very easy RTS.
Some pervy anime humor is present and one character can only be described as "breasting boobily" every time they move a muscle. Still, it's a fun time. I expected the plot twists to be in place of an actually good story, but there are some fun interactions. Reminds me of Zero Escape somewhat.

The only thing stopping me from playing this was the price tag. Well played Sega. Insta-bought.

Sega has some pretty good deals going on all around right now.
New lowest prices for Two Point Campus ($13.49), Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden (or even better, the bundle of both for $25.66), and the overly expensive Etrian Odyssey Collection is coming down to earth ($55.99) instead of $80.
Many other games have matched previous lows including much of the Sega Ages series ($1.99), Sega Genesis Classics ($7.49), Catherine: Full Body ($12.49) and the Hatsune Miku game ($19.69)

It's kind of a hard game to describe, but here goes:
There are two halves to the game, combat and story. You get to choose whichever one you want to play at any given time, but you'll get locked out of progressing through one at certain points until you play through enough of the other.
Combat is a real-time strategy game with teenagers piloting mechs to fight giant robots. How did that come about? That's up for you to find out. The battles are fun and not too challenging, but the real draw here is the plot.
The story half of the game presents a non-linear narrative that gives you a ton of freedom for how you want to experience it. It's sort of like a simple click-and-point adventure game, almost a visual novel, but not quite. There are 13 main characters that each have their own story, split into chapters, and you get to choose the order you view them in, whether you want to hop around from character to character or just beeline one character's story as much as possible before moving on, it's all up to you.
Not to go into spoilers, but overall, it's a very unique experience, it's fascinating to gradually see how everything fits together. There's nothing else quite like it.

Well, I played it because how much it got recommended and didn't enjoy it. At the end is basically a visual novel with a no linear progression. I am not into visual novels, I just prefer other ways of story telling but go attracted by the mix of story and strategy gameplay. However, the combat side is barebones and as deep as a puddle and feels like an annoyance to the story progression because of how uninteresting and easy it is.
So, I would recommend it to people interested in visual novels because that's the core of the whole experience and it's where the game offers something new and valuable.

Why would you open this wound? Now i'll be sad for the rest of the day remembering that Muramasa will never have a port on the Switch.
As for 13 sentinels: loved it, but i can't consider it the best thing ever like most people due, because it's not a deep visual novel game neither a deep strategy game; but it's a good mix of both.
