    The gameplay has been criticized for being unsatisfying and shallow, with many players noting that the difficulty drops significantly in later levels.

    • “Be honest with yourself, you're here for the anime waifus and couldn't care less about the gameplay.”
    • “Despite the images being high quality, this was the main selling point for their games.
