Aside from me not understanding a lick of Japanese, it's very easy to pick up. What threw me off was the pseudo Rock, Paper, Scissors system in the game.
I thought it was color-based as another game I used to play but it's class-based such as:
- Saber beats Lancer, Lancer beats Archer and Archer beats Saber in one tree while in the other tree:
- Rider beats Caster, Cater beats Assasssin, and Assassin beats Rider.
- Ruler takes reduced damage from every class except for Berserker.
- Berserker does ~2x damage to everyone but also receives ~2x damage from all classes as well.
- If it's Saber versus Caster, for example, my understanding (and it's not much) is that it's "about somewhat neutral damage".
I would be fond of the game's story if I could, again, understand what I'm reading but alas, I don't so I skip the cutscenes.
Now that Shiki's event is out, I want her. I saw her Assassin Noble Phantasm and I want it so much more now

.
There's also her Saber class which I also want but to less of a degree:
TL;DR: pretty good.
