The gameplay of "100% Orange Juice" is characterized by its blend of simple mechanics and heavy reliance on RNG, making it accessible yet unpredictable. Players engage in a board game format reminiscent of Mario Party, utilizing a variety of characters and cards that introduce strategic depth despite the luck-based nature of dice rolls. While the game is praised for its fun, chaotic multiplayer experience and cute aesthetics, some players find the reliance on chance can lead to frustration, particularly in competitive settings.
“The gameplay in 100% Orange Juice is simple and easy to understand, making it accessible for newcomers while still offering depth for veterans.”

“The gameplay balances deck building and dice-based combat with many characters to pick from, each with different stats and gimmicks.”
“The worst aspect of this game is the gameplay.”
“Honestly though, reading the tutorial was just a waste of time anyway because a literal brain-dead monkey that could use a mouse and keyboard could probably beat the world champion of this game because of how much this game relies on luck as a mechanic.”
“The gameplay is incredibly repetitive, the characters are all asinine and bland, and the gameplay is hugely boring.”

The story aspect of "100% Orange Juice" is generally viewed as lighthearted and humorous, featuring quirky characters and absurd plots, such as a girl's quest for her lost pudding. However, many players find the story mode frustrating due to its reliance on luck and AI that often seems rigged against them, leading to repeated failures in missions. While the narrative may not be deep or compelling, it serves as a backdrop for the game's multiplayer fun, with most players recommending it primarily for the social experience rather than the story itself.
“The story mode is actually super entertaining, and playing it with friends becomes so chaotically fun.”
“If you're trying to play this game just to have fun, you will almost certainly be charmed by the huge cast of endearing characters, the goofy storylines, the fantastic soundtrack and the predictably unpredictable gameplay.”
“The characters are so cute and the story, although short, is pretty funny and appeals to my anime-loving side.”
“The story about this anime girl getting her pudding stolen just made me feel like I was regressing back through evolution in ways that didn't make any sense, like I wanted to become like an ostrich and bury my head in the sand in the wild so I wouldn't have had to go through the trials of living life in an intelligent civilization to have to experience something like this.”
“Story mode progression is tied to winning a game based 90% on luck.”
“The story is throwaway for the most part, it's cute, but don't look for intense character building, deep story etc.”

“There's a lot of replayability; however, I will warn you poor souls that the campaign set to normal will kick your ass in your first playthrough and likely still will even after then.”

The reviews highlight that grinding is a significant aspect of the game, often requiring players to invest substantial time or money to unlock characters, items, and progress through levels. While some players enjoy the grind and find it rewarding, others criticize it for being tedious and overly reliant on RNG, making the experience frustrating, especially for those who prefer a more strategic approach. Overall, the game offers a mix of fun and frustration, depending on one's tolerance for grinding.
“There is no grinding, and it's definitely not a pay-to-win game.”
“The game has a lot of DLC and in-game economy items you have to pay for with real money or spend countless hours grinding for them, which makes you either have to spend an unreasonable amount of time playing a game relying on RNG to win or spend hundreds of dollars to get all the items.”
“This game relies too much on luck and has very little strategy involved to win, which is really annoying since you have to win the current level to move on to the next level, making trying to pass a level very grindy.”
“The game is ridiculously tedious and annoying because of the RNG in actual gameplay, and at times seems harder than a Dark Souls game.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the reliance on DLC and microtransactions for character access and additional content, which they feel detracts from the overall experience. While some acknowledge the game's long-term support since its 2009 release, others express frustration over the high costs associated with DLC and the intrusive advertising within the user interface. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as excessive and not well-suited for a PC platform.
“I used to not recommend this game due to half of the cast being DLC, but considering the game was created in 2009 and is still being supported, I changed my stance on the monetization.”
“It's not my job to suggest how else you make money here, but for those who require me to suggest an alternative in order to view my opinion as valid, there is so much more that can be looked at for monetization in this game other than character access, like costumes and pets.”
“This is an in-game currency only shop, so no pesky microtransactions.”
“Sadly, buying the base game is not always enough if you want to play with others, due to new characters and in-game card packs being locked behind microtransactions.”
“Can't recommend as a product simply because of the pricing; the sheer amount of DLC and the cost is ridiculous. It would make a lot more sense on phones than on Steam, which means there is a different standard required for in-game microtransactions.”
“They clutter the UI with giant banners advertising their events, the DLC, and other games sold by the publisher.”
