“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.”

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.

“There is no grinding, and it's definitely not a pay-to-win game.”

“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 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.”
