It was outright a bad game, but you are right in the sense that people probably wouldn't be so hard on it story wise if it had been marketed more as a spinoff like the Labyrinth games. Even then, the story falls apart arond the middle despite having a good setup.
You are also correct that Amalie is cute.

The character design is one of the things I felt was obviously clashing with the rest of the series. They look a lot less grounded and more anime-ish than WatHK and especially Labyrinth, a quick and easy example being the unnatural hair colors.
Like the rest of the game, it's got some good ideas and aspects but is worse overall. One example I thought was great was all the Holy Valkyries having their foreheads hidden, but then on the other hand I noticed Amalie doesn't have ringed eyes in the intro before she joins the WR. I thought that was some genious foreshadowing about her having a witch eye afterwards, but then I noticed it's not the case for the other Valkeries or Milm.
