≠ Stands apart with precision platforming, visual novel storytelling and card game strategy, while skipping Metroidvania exploration

The card-as-movement idea is genuinely original. The anime visual-novel dialogue between levels is the sticking point — a large share of otherwise positive players describe skipping it outright.
