The story of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its complexity, engaging characters, and strong voice acting, while others find it long-winded, confusing, or unoriginal. Many appreciate the world-building and unique storytelling elements, but some feel the narrative lacks depth and can be overwhelming due to its heavy focus on dialogue. Overall, it seems to be a solid experience for those who enjoy story-driven games, though it may not appeal to everyone.
- “One of the most inspired and interesting gachas to come out in recent years, all the characters feel fresh and complex, and the storyline is phenomenal!”
- “The visuals design mixes emotive live2D models with high-quality 3D ones, the storytelling and framing (in the VN sections) is very often striking, the world-building is fascinating, and the characters are varied and interesting without being too fan service-y.”
- “The story is solid so far, and the combat is fun.”
- “The story is also pretty crap and incomprehensible, but I'd be willing to look past that if the game was any fun, and unfortunately it's just not.”
- “The story is a bit all over the place.”
- “The story is classic gacha apocalypse, you’re the chosen one, yada yada... but it’s live-service, so you’re never actually reaching the end anyway.”

The gameplay is described as unique and refreshing, blending elements of RTS, tower defense, and roguelike mechanics, which some players find enjoyable and engaging. However, many reviewers criticize the complexity and clutter of the mechanics, particularly during boss fights and tutorials, which can detract from the overall experience. While the graphics and character designs receive praise, the gameplay often feels unpolished and overly reliant on convoluted systems, leading to mixed feelings about its long-term appeal.
- “It has unique gameplay - you won't find many RTS gachas out there like this one, very F2P-friendly and the art style & character design is great, both 2D and 3D.”
- “Multiple elemental reactions and stage hazards combined with multiple boss mechanics make the game fun to learn.”
- “Gameplay is a mix of RTS, tower defense, with a roguelike mode mixed into the central part of game progression.”
- “Gameplay is unique, but boss fights are really annoying and gimmicky.”
- “The prologue was a mess, and you could hardly understand what was going on. The game threw too many mechanics at once that were not very easy to understand, particularly traces and the nexus, and the same can be said about the multitude of currencies and game modes that you have to keep track of.”
- “Gameplay had potential but feels like a cluttered mess that’ll only get worse when end-game demands rare characters.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the aesthetically pleasing visuals, unique character designs, and smooth performance across devices. However, others criticize the art style as gaudy and corny, suggesting that while the graphics are generally good, they do not compensate for the game's lack of depth and engaging gameplay. Overall, the visuals are noted as a strong point, but opinions vary on their impact on the overall experience.
- “Pleasant graphics.”
- “The visuals design mixes emotive live2d models with high quality 3D ones, the storytelling and framing (in the VN sections) is very often striking, the world-building is fascinating, and the characters are varied and interesting without being too fan service-y (and excepting the main character, completely voiced! (in JP and CN))”
- “Gorgeous character visuals.”
- “The art style is alright but it also has a gaudiness to it that makes everything feel stylistically corny.”
- “You could at least churn out better graphics with stable diffusion if you're too lazy to make an enemy that isn't a blurry tadpole.”
- “While I really like most of the characters and the visuals of the game, the gameplay and combat leaves a lot to be desired.”

However, opinions are divided, with some criticizing the inconsistency in style and the quality of 3D models, describing them as unattractive. Overall, while the character designs are seen as a highlight, they also lack a cohesive identity, leaving room for improvement.

- “Worth checking it out as it has high-quality art and some nice character designs with unique gameplay and gearing system.”
- “A decent game, new gameplay style, and unique character design, just needs a few ironing here and there but nothing major.”

- “The character designs are weird; the 3D models on the home screen are ugly and look dead inside.”
- “A decent game with a new gameplay style and unique character design, but it just needs a few improvements here and there.”

The game is well-optimized for both PC and mobile devices, delivering great visuals and sound quality across platforms. However, players note that achieving optimal performance in all game modes necessitates a specific team composition.

monetization

Reviewers criticize the monetization in gacha games for being excessive and intrusive, affecting the overall gameplay experience rather than just specific elements like characters or cosmetics. Many express frustration over the prevalence of advertisements and the reliance on in-game purchases for progression, particularly in games that appear to be primarily single-player with superficial multiplayer features.
- “The monetization model is well-balanced, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money.”
- “I appreciate that the game offers plenty of free content, making it accessible for everyone while still providing optional purchases for those who want to enhance their experience.”
- “The in-game purchases are reasonable and don't disrupt the overall gameplay, allowing for a fair experience for both paying and non-paying players.”
- “Gacha games have no restraint and instead of compromising just one aspect of their game with monetization like characters or cosmetics, they pollute the entire experience and it all suffers.”
- “Many are complaining about how much they advertise, but it's just like every other gacha game with the advertisements.”
- “The fact that it is a gacha game isn't an excuse to have in-game purchases for characters and other forms of advancement in what seems like a single-player only game with 'multiplayer rankings' tacked on.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, though it is considered generous for a gacha title. There are concerns that it may become more grindy in the future, but potential quality-of-life improvements could alleviate some of these issues.
- “For a gacha game, it is quite generous, but overall, it's tedious.”
- “It may be grindy in the future, although quality of life improvements could make up for that.”
