The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it predictable, cliché, and lacking depth, often undermined by poor writing and disjointed narratives. While some appreciate the quirky humor and charm, others criticize the dialogue and character development as weak, leading to a forgettable experience. Overall, the gameplay seems to take precedence over the story, which many players view as merely functional rather than engaging.
- “The story keeps you engaged, optional loot and side missions make every session unique, adding to the RPG feel of gearing up your characters.”
- “In terms of story, it is tropey and aware of it, with many fourth wall breaks and plenty of charm.”
- “Rich story, unique and attractive anime characters, not only the campaign, horde mode.”
- “The story doesn't take itself seriously, constantly undermines itself, breaks the fourth wall, and has quirky Marvel-like quips.”
- “This story also boils down to 'f you, dad' and is so disjointed that if there was more buried beneath that, you will not find it.”
- “The characters are awful, the dialogue is worse, and there is nothing redeeming about the story here.”

Overall, the gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the mechanics and class variety, while others find it repetitive and lacking depth due to a limited number of enemy types and overly simplistic tactical elements. The game features solid graphics and art, but many feel that the gameplay does not significantly elevate the experience, often overshadowed by a weak narrative and excessive hand-holding in tutorials. Despite these criticisms, some players still appreciate the enjoyable mechanics and recommend it for fans of the tactical RPG genre.
- “Overall, I'm playing more for the gameplay than the story, so it's been an enjoyable experience.”
- “It has great gameplay and a reasonable price.”
- “Between its stunning visuals, great gameplay, and fun dialogue, this is a game that’s not to be missed.”
- “Gameplay is fine, a lot of classes and the systems are fine, but at some point you have played against all 10, yes only about 10, enemy types and you just want your suffering to end.”
- “While the art is good and gives flesh to its world-crafting, this game's shallow story is paired with mediocre narration, built around very repetitive gameplay.”
- “So naturally you just pick them off one by one, and this is why gameplay becomes boring pretty fast – there is no real tactical depth, just the same approach all the time.”

- “Beautiful soundtrack, difficult and rewarding combat, immersive 2D environment.”
- “The soundtrack is particularly enjoyable, too!”
- “Great music, fantastic visuals.”
- “The options menu literally has no volume knob for sound effects, and even at the lowest for music, it is still quite loud.”
- “The music is fine and the voice acting is decent, but there is only one voice acted character in the entire game, and beyond that, I struggle to find much else redeeming.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, with long battles and missions that lack the ability to save progress, making the experience feel more laborious than challenging. While there is no permanent death and minimal grinding is required to complete the main story, the lengthy and repetitive nature of gameplay detracts from overall enjoyment.
- “Levels are long and tedious just trying to get to the other side of the map.”
- “Battles are tediously long: 1 hour for most, more at the end, waiting for enemies and allies' turns a lot with no way to speed things up.”
- “Unfortunately, the missions get to be very long and tedious, without the ability to save and take a break.”
