However, some players still enjoy the game overall, citing its visuals and engaging gameplay despite the grindy elements.
- “But the problem is that every battle is way too grindy and tiring.”
- “Unfortunately, it's very grindy, having to play the same level over and over without an auto mode to help.”
- “Inefficient upgrade system during battle, like I need to open the guide like a hundred times just to check the correct combination for my desired unit, tedious and not well thought out, would have been fun if I could just automatically press my desired unit and it will upgrade itself, leaves a lot to be desired to be honest, gets boring with this system in place.”

- “The game has an interesting story, good character designs, and surprisingly strategic gameplay.”
- “After a rocky launch, the game has entered a playable state and I'm quite impressed with how much fun I've had with the game so far.

- “Pros: - very interesting battle system - generally fun game - arcana system is inspired by tarot cards. Cons: - we need more legendary heroes - poor character design - too many pretty girls and not enough monsters - you can't pause while battle, which leads to addiction, poor sleep, and mental problems.”
- “After a rocky launch, the game has entered a playable state and I'm quite impressed with how much fun I've had with the game so far. I love the character designs for the units (most of the higher tier ones are unlocked from the story or unlocked with character orb gacha from the free currency, which the game is generous with). It's somewhat of a merge/tactics game, which is a great little time spender; I'm digging it so far.”
