I don't think Hatsumira was written as a "fantasy epic", it feels to me that Frontwing build the setting around being a comedy eroge, rather than being a real attempt at a meaningful fantasy world (like say Aiyoku no Eustia). First and foremost, the game is a comedy, and while it steps into darkness with very frequent references to death, slaughter, starvation, etc, it maintains a focus on being an "eroge" first. For example, pic related, most of the exposure you get to the evil german empire is these two jokers, and most of the time is spent humanizing them in a comedic fashion. Not making them into total shounen buffoons, but also not making them 2 dimensional evil demons. I haven't finished the game yet so I won't expand too much, who knows how Chapter 2/3/4 will change up things. But for now, I think calling it "kiddie shit" is a fairly shallow analysis of the game. It's definitely aimed at adults. It's a mature game, even if it's not too serious about it all the time.
