The story is described as dark and gritty, with a minimalistic feel that some players appreciate, though it can leave them questioning their purpose in the game. While the plot is largely linear, it offers multiple endings based on player choices, and overall, the narrative is considered better than average for the genre, despite some players wishing for more depth and content.
“Story is somewhat better than usual; the combat is fast-paced and includes only useful items and skills, and sound and interface are also okay.”
“The story has a dark and gritty vibe to it; don’t expect to see many – if any – happy or funny moments.”
“The plot is almost completely linear, but has about five different endings, mostly depending on how you tackle the final bosses.”
“Short story, wish there was more.”

The gameplay features standard RPG Maker mechanics with turn-based combat, but suffers from issues such as a poor translation, bugs, repetitive dungeon design, and grindy elements. While it may appeal to those seeking animated adult content, it falls short for players prioritizing engaging gameplay, resulting in a lackluster experience overall.
“Music and gameplay is okay.”
“I'm a gameplay guy though, and Begieade failed to meet my (rather low) bar for this genre.”
“On the downside, you’ll get a sloppy (if comprehendible) translation, some bugs, monotonous dungeon design, grindy gameplay, and a short plot.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, requiring significant leveling through either a lengthy combat route or a shorter, yet still grindy, sexual route. The gameplay is often described as monotonous, contributing to a sense of frustration, especially on normal difficulty, leading some to recommend lowering the difficulty for a more enjoyable experience.
“On the downside, you’ll get a sloppy (if comprehensible) translation, some bugs, monotonous dungeon design, grindy gameplay, and a short plot.”
“It's okay, I'd recommend lowering the difficulty because it's a little tedious on normal.”
“On normal or harder difficulty, this requires some leveling by either the (long and grindy) combat route or the (shorter yet still grindy) sexual route.”

The graphics in Begieade are highlighted for their original art style and quality animation, particularly in the lewd scenes, which serve as a key selling point. However, some criticism is directed at the character design, which features typical tropes. Overall, the artwork and animation are well-received.
“Begieade’s selling point is obviously the fact that all the lewd content is animated, and in a fairly original art style at that.”
“Again, it's a pity as the artwork and animation are both quite good.”
