I am now on mission six.
This is a very fun game, but not an especially good anime - I hate cute animal companions who are there just to be cute. "Moink moink" indeed! The pacing of it is kind of off - it feels like the cutscene segments last nearly as long as the missions do, even before factoring in all of the army-arranging stuff in the base (which I don't mind doing).
Yes I know I could skip the cutscenes, but I don't like to.
Anyway yes this gamei s very fun. Do missions get longer and more involved over time?
