The story is generally engaging, featuring a journey centered around four girls seeking ultimate bikini armor, with well-developed character backstories and plot elements that can be unlocked through various endings. However, the game includes problematic side missions with inappropriate content, which some players found disturbing and chose to avoid. Overall, while the main narrative is enjoyable and humorous, the translation issues and the presence of controversial themes in side quests have drawn mixed reactions from players.

“The character build-up moments, backstory, and even some story that unlocks through the bad ending are really good.”
“I really like this one... big maps, funny story that feels organic, and I love the art style.”
“The storyline is a loose JRPG about four girls trying to find the ultimate bikini armor.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the high frequency of random encounters that disrupt exploration. The need to grind for experience points to unlock costumes and armor, combined with the lack of a new game+ option, further exacerbates the repetitive nature of combat, making it one of the game's most significant drawbacks.
“The rate at which you trigger encounters in the wild areas is frustrating; I understand grinding levels, but let me walk around looking for my objective without getting attacked 10 times.”
“Additionally, in order to unlock all costume and armor choices, you need to spend time grinding for experience points, which adds to the odd choice of not having a New Game+ option, given the effort put into unlocking the armors.”
“Sometimes the combat is repetitive and tedious; you walk 4 steps, encounter combat, walk 5 steps, and encounter another combat. It can become exasperating, making this game’s biggest negative flaw.”

The emotional aspect of the game is heavily criticized for its portrayal of sexual content, as nearly all intimate scenes are depicted as non-consensual, overshadowing any potential for wholesome interactions. This stark contrast between the cute art style and the disturbing themes creates a jarring emotional experience for players.
“The art is cute and wholesome.”
“But it works pretty well in contrast to the cute and wholesome art of the girls.”

“What started as an intriguing setting quickly devolved into a series of explicit scenes that ruin the overall mood.”
