Not my screenshot btw but I hunted it down after playing through this part. I've been playing it for a bit now (I'm on path C) and it's still not 100% obvious to me that it's an explicitly pro-leftist, though there are some hints. For example, there are also 2 robots named Marx and Engels, where Marx dies early and you talk to Engels as a side quest. I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on this game if you've played it before.
I got it recently for the swtich and I'm only a few hours in. But I'm enjoying it so far. The control scheme is pretty well-thought-out. And the storyline is not boring me to death so far, which is usually the case with Japanese action RPGs made in the past... ever.
If you like the controls/combat for this, you should check out the Bayonetta games, assuming you haven’t already.
Thanks, I'll check them out. I've not played those ones.
