- The game features cute art and character designs that are true to the Touhou franchise, making it enjoyable for fans.
- Gameplay is fun and engaging, with interesting character abilities that align well with their Touhou counterparts.
- In-game purchases are fair, as everything can be bought with in-game currency and there is no pay-to-win model.
- The game is plagued by numerous bugs, including game-breaking issues like infinite loading screens and being unable to purchase units.
- Currently only available in Chinese, which limits accessibility for non-Chinese players and hinders understanding of game mechanics.
- The game suffers from performance issues and balance problems, with some units being overpowered or underpowered, and a lack of player base makes multiplayer experiences difficult.

The gameplay is generally well-received, with players finding it enjoyable and fun, especially after recent rebalancing and the introduction of new characters and mechanics. However, there are concerns about the lack of clarity in the tutorial regarding the creation of 2-star characters, and some players express a desire for the game to be available in English to enhance their experience.
“The gameplay is really fun, but I wish making 2-star characters was explained in the tutorial.”
“The game became better with rebalancing and new characters and mechanics, and it will be even better if it has an English language option.”
“Personally, I wish this game was successful since I really enjoy the gameplay.”
