The story aspect of the game is characterized by a mix of engaging narratives and convoluted plotlines, with some players appreciating the innovative twists and well-rounded characters, while others find the numerous storylines overwhelming and confusing. The lack of an initial presentation detracts from immersion, giving it an arcade feel, yet many still find the overall experience enjoyable and thought-provoking. Despite some pacing issues and unnecessary scenes, the story ultimately captivates players with its unexpected developments and seamless flow.

“What a series this is... the twists and turns in this storyline are spectacular... by the time I got to the last book, I could hardly put it down... what a splendid way to integrate religion and fiction... an impressive job by the author... thank you, sir.”
“Wonderful story line with unexpected twists and turns that you don't see coming.”
“The strangest storyline I ever read.”
“There are entirely too many storylines and they all become a tangled, nonsensical, unrealistic mess.”

The music in the game is well-crafted and provides a relaxing experience, contributing positively to the overall atmosphere. While it enhances the enjoyment for fans of mecha designs and shmups, some players find the gameplay itself to be somewhat cumbersome.
“If you're a big fan of mecha designs or shmups and want to support the developer by purchasing the game, some of the ship designs are cool, and as said before, the music is cool.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“The music is well-done.”

The game features appealing 2D graphics with a striking red, black, and white aesthetic, complemented by interesting ship designs. However, the visible stitching in the background can detract from immersion, and some players have noted that the controls are less than ideal when using a keyboard. Overall, while the visuals are enjoyable for quick sessions, they may not fully compensate for the gameplay experience.
“Good 2D graphics and fun for a quick session if you love shoot 'em ups!”
“The red/black/white aesthetic is interesting, and some of the ship designs are cool.”
