Yeah, it's "extreme baseball" -- The match typically plays itself, so you're just picking the right answers (or you fail), not too different really.
not with this setup. And it really, probably, shouldn't have been one at all. x)
Kodaka is fully capable of doing artwork for and helping design non-VN games is my point x) I think what killed it is that they were expecting his name to carry the game more than it ultimately did, so poor advertising, mixed with a bad launch.
It could've worked as a gacha, but...
Actually, the game does have a similarish confrontation mechanic at the end of each chapter. XB is basically the same as a trial.
That said, gameplay of this compares more to Kodaka's non-DR works. Hundred Line is doing really well even though it's not entirely a VN.

I hope we can reach 200 followers by the new year...
