The battle system works where when your opponent attacks, they create a bunch of patterns on the screen that you have to dodge. So there's a level of reactionary based skill involved.
You defeat monsters by either fighting them to death, or choosing to spare them. However, in order to spare them, you have to first choose the correct actions which will discourage them from fighting you. So before you are able to spare the monsters, you have to evade their attacks while you talk them down basically.
The game progresses fairly linearly. The story gets meta, and the characters are actually pretty charming.
You can try the demo by simply downloading it from their site. It's pretty much the beginning of the game.
The faggotry you're seeing, is the result of any game that has feels mixed with humor. That's just the nature of things. But in my opinion, it's honestly a good experience. I was hesitant to give it a try at first too. I ended up liking it a lot.
