The gameplay of this gacha game is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying its beautiful graphics and character designs, while others criticize it for being repetitive and heavily reliant on pay-to-win mechanics. Many reviews highlight the simplistic and often tedious nature of the gameplay loop, which involves grinding for resources and battling through turn-based combat, with some praising the strategic elements in boss fights. Overall, while the game offers casual enjoyment and some engaging mechanics, it suffers from a lack of depth and can feel like a cash grab due to its gacha system.
- “The gameplay and character art are actually quite enjoyable.”
- “Boss fights toss in mechanics that make you care about turn order, shields, and cleanse timing.”
- “The gameplay is engaging and keeps you busy when you have some time to play.”
- “This is a mechanic that limits your advancement since you only gain resources from winning.”
- “It’s a blatant cash grab with zero gameplay, just mindless tapping to collect meaningless 'free' stuff.”
- “The amount of gameplay is very minimal and the cost of advancing -- whether it be time sunk into the game or opening your wallet -- is not worth the reward.”

The game's story is generally perceived as weak and poorly executed, with many players finding it forgettable or confusing due to bad translations and lack of depth.

The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring players to invest significant amounts of time or money to progress. Many users report hitting paywalls that hinder advancement, making free-to-play options feel frustratingly slow. While some players find enjoyment in the grind and appreciate the character collection mechanics, the overall sentiment leans towards grinding being a major drawback that detracts from the game's potential fun.
- “This quickly became one of my favorite games, and the difficulty is right in the middle, so it's not too grindy but it's not mind-numbingly easy either.”
- “The worst part is this game is grindy as hell.”
- “You simply can't finish the game without spending a lot of money unless you are willing to spend at least a couple of years grinding the required resources to upgrade/evolve/level up your waifus, which is not worth the time and money for this type of lame turn-based RPG.”
- “I started playing because I liked the story development, but it's a worthless endeavor, because I don't like transactional games. I have been stuck where I am for what feels like months, not advancing the storyline, just servicing and farming. Anything I want to do will take 50 times longer than necessary because they control the resources you get, and even if you pay, they still control the resources, making any money you spend not achieve your goals.”

The monetization in this game is heavily criticized for being aggressive and reminiscent of typical gacha mechanics, with many players feeling pressured to spend money to progress.

- “Surprisingly, the monetization isn’t as 'in your face' as most other mobile games.”
- “The monetization is extremely aggressive, with timed resource packs pushed at every level milestone, creating a feeling of pressure to spend.”
- “If the game kept on going, and didn't artificially create barriers via enemy difficulty spiking, forcing you to wait and do daily objectives, or spend money, I'd give this game a thumbs up... but it's too predatory in its monetization for me to give it that.”
- “This is the most aggressive and largest cash grab game I have ever played, and it even makes wargaming games like World of Tanks look reasonable in comparison.”
