I didn't play the game, so I'll be talking as someone who only saw the anime. Also, I wrote that as the anime isn't finished yet (I watched 23 episodes out of 26) so keep that in mind.

The story takes place in a fantasy universe where humans, orcs, elves and dark elves "coexist", as in they're all in their own little place and dark elves are victims of heavy discrimination coming from humans. The story itself isn't bad, but it's not particularly good either. For the whole time, watching the series felt like watching a final fantasy style game turned into an anime (party of ... 4 with a barbaric, dark mage, white mage and more of a rogue character). There are a few nice plot twists but they're quite predictable.

In of art, everything is quite basic. It's not impressive, but it's pleasing to watch. The sceneries are good but they didn't particularly draw my attention either.

The sound effects are fine, the background music is fine, the voice actors are good yet not really impressive to me, but I personally really like the openings and endings (that's more a matter of taste though).

The characters, although not completely stereotyped, are quite basic as well. I was worried at first because all the female characters have big boobs, but there's literally no fanservice and the characters aren't oversexualized or anything (which is nice to focus more on the story).Their designs are distinctive and it's easy to recognize each character, even if it's one that you don't see very often like Kasel's mother. One thing I like though is that despite not being overdramatic, Kasel (the main character) does get swayed by emotions, he's not a pure gem of hope and determination like would be Black Clover's Asta. He's determined to help others, but sometimes doesn't do things right or needs a slap in the face and I think it makes him more realistic in that way.

As for my personal enjoyment, I think it's a nice anime, but it's quite forgettable if that makes sense. There's nothing particularly bad about it, but there's nothing that really stands out either apart from the openings. What I like though is the fact that the anime is really only about the story. By that I mean that I didn't see any fanservice, characters that seem to be created to be waifus or anything of the sort. It's probably not an anime that I'd have the strength to binge, but it's still good. You'd think that with all I've said it's boring, but then again, despite not being impressive in any way, it's simply well executed.

I wouldn't RECOMMEND it, but I think that if you're looking for an awfully normal and basic anime of that genre that doesn't have heavy fanservice to try to compensate the other things just so you can have a nice day watching something nice yet not mind-blowing, then you can watch it. But definitely don't put this on top of your to watch list.
