The aesthetics were too much of a hodgepodge of styles that made it look generic, adding the FE characters as DLC only made it worse by how much they didn't work in the style. It didn't help the game itself is piss ugly, and the gameplay initially was slow as tar and kinda clunky.

I don't likje to use this term, or it lightly, but it really was something made to appeal the "reddit" audience. Something made for the kind of insufferable fuck wits of the era who were "meta" and liked being quirky, the kind that would look at the premise of "omg steampunk public domain characters led by Abe Lincoln fighting aliens?! So freaking epic!!!!!!" \

And I think Nintendo was banking on that, only to fail to realize those kinds of people wouldn't give a shit about TRPG.
