The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many users praising their stunning quality and vibrant design, often comparing them to high-end titles like Genshin Impact. Players appreciate the detailed character models, smooth animations, and immersive visual effects that enhance the overall gameplay experience. However, some users have reported performance issues on lower-end devices, including lag and crashes, suggesting a need for optimization to accommodate a wider range of hardware.
“The graphics are stunning, and the combat is both exciting and strategic.”
“The graphics and mechanics are perfect, and I love how it feels like you're rewatching the anime once again.”
“The graphics are vibrant, bringing the characters to life, and the combat system is engaging, allowing players to unleash powerful spells.”
“The problem is, it causes heating issues even if I'm in low graphics. My phone can handle Genshin fine and it won't heat up that much since I have a cooler, but this one, even if I'm using 3 fans and a cooler, the game still heats up my phone. Please somehow find a way to fix this.”
“The graphics is decent enough when you play first, but it gets super laggy even if you turn it to low settings when you play progressively.”
“I liked this game, but it needs some serious graphics and style updates because its characters look ugly and like their skins are cracking.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing aggressive microtransactions and frequent crashes during in-app purchases, which hinder the overall experience.

“I hope the progress in the game will not be stopped because you need to make microtransactions to level equipment, heroes, etc. My impression is well-done.”
“Very addicting, especially if you're a fan of the anime. The game has a stylized aesthetic, no bugs ever since I started playing, plus this is a free-to-play game with no ads. It's the best of the best turned-based RPG game I've ever played so far.”
“Everything else is a cash grab to slightly increase your hopes of getting to experience a new character variation.”
“Greedy, short sighted, and filled with monetization practices.”
“I would give it 5 stars but for some reason every time I attempt to make an in-app purchase the game crashes... hopefully they fix this bug in the future so I can support the game otherwise I guess it's free-to-play all the way!”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent bugs and glitches that disrupt gameplay, including freezing during missions and loading screens.

“Not sure why, but now the game freezes and randomly quits during the chapter 11 missions. I've reinstalled the app, cleared the cache, nothing different.”
“After I updated the game yesterday, it started freezing at the loading screen. After it freezes, I can hear the in-game music/soundtrack and even the clicks, but I'm still stuck at the loading screen.”
“There's a number of bugs and glitches that make it hard to play, namely there is one bug that gets the title screen stuck and won't let me play unless I force stop the app first.”

The music in the game has received high praise for its quality and integration, enhancing the overall experience with impressive soundtracks and audio design.

“I absolutely love this game; everything is perfect from character design to menu transitions, music, the help menu.”
“The music to this game is top notch.”
“Not to mention the music and graphics are incredible, for a mobile game!”
“My only gripe is that if we could choose servers instead of getting locked in the regional server and perhaps also integrate some of the iconic songs from the series in the cut scenes, that'd add so much more to the overall enjoyment of the game.”
“I'm in some dungeon in the game but all I hear is music and the screen is completely black... I have tried clearing the cache, same results.”
“My only issue is how the game closes if I switch to my music app or Facebook Messenger, basically anytime you enter a separate app that isn't the game.”

The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its excellent graphics and solid performance, while others report significant issues such as crashes, lag, and poor performance on lower-end devices. Many users agree that while the game is visually impressive, it requires further optimization to enhance stability and accessibility for a broader range of devices. Overall, the consensus suggests that improvements are needed to address the performance inconsistencies.
“Well, it's a great game; super optimized, excellent graphics, and great overall gameplay.”
“The game is really beautiful and has excellent graphics; overall, the performance is good.”
“It's amazing because the graphics are so solid; I play Genshin Impact, but it doesn't look like this game. This game is better, I think, because the characters are detailed and smooth. My settings are high, which is great, but it needs some optimization and has some bugs like the subtitles being a little late.”
“2 rating because the game isn't properly optimized when background or anything else outside of the app.”
“After playing from season 2 and now starting season 6 of the game, this game has some serious problems. The rates feel manipulated; the longer you play, the less likely you are to win in the gacha pulls, at least from my experience. Secondly, the game needs optimization badly. It crashes multiple times a day, lags, and has on-screen errors and trouble loading quite frequently. I had to delete so much for this latest update, and this is the only game on my phone. There is no reason for this to be this bad.”
“Definitely needs to be optimized a bit better.”
