- “It's an okay game, but I've uninstalled it because it's pay-to-win. I faced a player four times in a row and lost every time. The game has great graphics, but you need to open your wallet or grind for a long time. It was fun while it lasted.”

The game's story is criticized for being virtually nonexistent, with reviewers expressing disappointment in the lack of narrative depth and background.

Overall, the consensus is that the game fails to deliver a meaningful narrative, contributing to its shortcomings.
- “This could've been a really good game if they knew what they were doing, but it was made by Asobimo. Everything they make fails; there is no story in this, the wrong type of battle system for this type of game, no pre-registration gifts, and it's a complete versus other players. There is nothing going for it. Expected from a washed-up company, stay away from this company and the game they have.”
