The story is generally perceived as interesting but often confusing, with a simplistic plot centered around mecha battles and romantic interactions. While it features multiple endings and some engaging character dynamics, many reviewers noted inconsistencies and a lack of depth, leading to a somewhat cliché and short narrative experience. Overall, the game is enjoyable for its art and character interactions, but the story itself may not captivate all players.
- “The real story is about Takiro's interactions with the cuties in the academy.”
- “Came for the girls, stayed for the story.”
- “Great game, interesting story, nice characters, and many endings.”
- “The overarching story doesn't make a whole ton of sense; somehow the success of these battles will 'save the economy' for your 'poor nation' -- whatever that's supposed to mean.”
- “There are some slip ups and inconsistencies, e.g. wrong names used or story referring to events that did not occur due to the previous choices.”
- “The story is almost non-existent; the mech battles aren't really battles, just story fillers. This full game should have been chapter 1, not an entire book.”

- “The music wasn't memorable at all, and I didn't really feel the need to have the volume all the way up in order to listen to it.”
