The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its smooth mechanics and engaging graphics, while others criticize it for being overly simplistic, repetitive, and heavily reliant on auto-battle systems. Several users noted a lack of strategic depth and player control during battles, leading to a feeling of boredom and frustration, especially in the context of gacha mechanics that often require monetary investment for meaningful progression. Overall, while the visuals are often highlighted as a strong point, the gameplay experience is seen as lacking in innovation and depth.
“Great graphics and visuals with a good core gameplay loop.”
“I love everything so far, the gameplay is great (even if it ends up being repetitive, I think I'll still enjoy it) the art style is gorgeous.”

“The graphics are great, but I feel like the game failed in a few gameplay areas, and as far as the control you have over your characters in battle, so far it is non-existent.”

“The arts and characters are good, but the gameplay is so plain and boring; the whole battle is fully automated, so there's not much for the player to do except assemble your own party.”

The monetization model of the game has received significant criticism, with many users labeling it a "cash grab" due to the high prices of in-app purchases and the lack of meaningful rewards for spending. While some players appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, they express frustration over the game's design, which seems to prioritize monetization over player engagement and retention. Overall, the sentiment is that while the game can be played for free, the experience is heavily skewed towards encouraging spending, making it feel unfair and exploitative.
“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 concept is quite fair - no ads and paywalls, but some character limitations.”
“I dropped to 2 stars for a few reasons. After playing the game for a while, I can now give a solid review: in-game purchases are priced way too high, VIP levels aren't worth going for as they offer very little benefit... no skip option?”
“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.”
“Another game ruined by over monetization.”

“Not too grindy, not too greedy.”

“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.”
“Character design is a joke.”
