The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that it primarily features idle mechanics and auto-battles, leading to a repetitive and often boring experience. While some appreciate the graphics and character design, they feel that the lack of player control during battles and minimal strategic depth detracts from overall enjoyment. Overall, the game is seen as visually appealing but lacking in engaging gameplay, with many players expressing a desire for more interactive and meaningful mechanics.
“Excellent graphics, audio, and gameplay.”
“Lots of interesting gameplay, great community, fun useful events, and the ability to customize is amazing without being complicated.”
“The graphics and gameplay have to be my favorite parts about the game.”
“Good graphics and everything is good but gets very boring as you can't control your characters during a fight. It's very boring thinking of deleting this game because of this lack of control. Change this with fight mechanics in the game to make it more exciting for us, not this boring waste of time.”
“The gameplay is mostly idle besides the key game mechanic which is party building. It's essentially a hero collector or 'gacha' with the typical lack of player volition and gameplay that is entirely automated.”
“The art style is awesome, too bad it's wrapped around mediocre gameplay that you could get elsewhere and better.”

The reviews indicate a widespread dissatisfaction with the game's story, which many players describe as either non-existent or extremely lacking in depth and engagement. While the graphics and character designs receive praise, the repetitive gameplay and absence of a compelling narrative or character backstories leave players feeling unmotivated and frustrated, often leading to a sense of monotony. Overall, the game is criticized for its reliance on auto-battling mechanics and a pay-to-win structure, further diminishing the potential for an immersive story experience.
“I love the graphics, the artwork is breathtaking, the gameplay is a loop, we need a story.”
“The characters, the story, the setting.”
“Love the storyline, graphics and animation.”
“The story is boring, the mechanics are trash, and you will get tired of it quickly.”
“There's not really a story or lore; there is a snippet of text for the characters or missions, but blink and you'll miss it.”
“It is missing an actual storyline, and it gets very repetitive.”

The monetization model of the game is widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with many players feeling that the in-app purchases are excessively priced and designed to push users towards spending money to progress. While some appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, the overall sentiment is that the game prioritizes profit over player experience, leading to a frustrating balance between free play and the need for costly microtransactions. Many reviews highlight the lack of meaningful rewards for spending, making the monetization feel predatory and discouraging for players.
“My favorite thing is no ads.”
“There is definitely a ton of in-app purchases but you can play for free pretty easily without getting ads shut down your throat.”
“I know how these games with in-app purchases work but as long as I can have fun for free then it deserves at least 5 stars from me.”
“The amount of money I put into this game, I could have bought a gaming PC and a couple of 60-hour plus games. Monetization is bad with no core gameplay to keep you entertained. Overall, it's a money pit team builder where the $100 packs have little to no items. Forget getting lucky; you only get guaranteed drop rates, not a gacha. Orange characters are just bait to make you feel like you're progressing.”
“Another game ruined by over monetization.”
“I've played tons and tons of games, and this is by far the most obvious cash grab and least enjoyable game I've played in a very long time.”

“Nice and unique cyberpunk style idle RPG; however, it's lacking features. I can finish the daily activities in under 20 minutes, and after that, I had nothing else to do. The character development is a bit slow.”
