The story aspect of "Bleach: Brave Souls" is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its faithful adaptation of the original anime and manga narratives, including side stories and unique character arcs. However, some users express frustration with the repetitive nature of missions and the grind required to progress, particularly in obtaining spirit orbs after completing the main story. Overall, while the game offers a rich storyline and engaging content for fans, issues like low orb rewards and connection problems during quests detract from the experience.
“This game is one of the friendliest free-to-play styled gacha games I've played, and as a lifelong fan of Bleach, getting to relive the anime's and manga's story with unique and playable units is a joy.”
“The storyline is amazing with every side mission, and the game captures the essence of the Bleach series beautifully, adding extra side stories and character versions we've never seen before.”
“It's an amazing game that is kind of accurate to the anime from the story mode to the side stories, and there is a lot to do, so you won't finish it quickly. If you're a fan of Bleach, you will probably like the game as it has some of your favorite characters and moments.”
“The story mode is super boring as well as the bosses and stages.”
“Once you finish the main story, side story, on hard and nightmare, it does get harder to get orbs.”
“The game quickly gets boring and disappointing when all you can do is missions vs AI that sometimes can't be beat in two minutes unless you have a particular kind of character just to win.”

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its engaging mechanics, smooth controls, and faithful representation of the Bleach anime, making it enjoyable for fans. However, many players note that it can become repetitive and grindy over time, with issues related to character summon rates and the overall gacha system being significant points of frustration. While the game is considered free-to-play friendly, the balance between enjoyment and the grind for resources can lead to a mixed experience for players.
“The gameplay is great, the game is put together really well and it does justice to the amazing anime.”
“Really fun gameplay loop, awesome Bleach characters, and very free-to-play friendly.”
“The gameplay is impressive, but your early missions will be ruined by higher level players joining your mission and one-shotting the boss.”
“Mainly bad because of the awful, annoying, unfair, and awkward gameplay when you're not overpowered in some quests and not able to pass right through them easily; it's really just annoying and not exactly difficult.”
“The gameplay is very repetitive.”
“Genuinely an awful game; prices are horrendous, free-to-play players get little to nothing, and it's a boring gameplay cycle.”

The grinding aspect of the game is a major point of contention among players, with many describing it as excessively tedious and time-consuming. While some enjoy the grind as part of the experience, particularly fans of the Bleach franchise, others find it frustrating due to low drop rates for desirable characters and limited sources for obtaining in-game currency. Overall, the game is seen as rewarding for those willing to invest significant time, but it can become monotonous and discouraging, especially for free-to-play players.
“Good game overall and f2p friendly; however, if your pulls are garbage after endless grinding for certain characters, it feels like it's not worth it anymore. The rates are horrible and way too random sometimes with 500 orbs/2 multis you pull every character, and other times with 4000+ absolutely nothing.”
“The constant grinding for soul orbs just to pull nothing but 3 and 4 stars is disappointing.”
“It's a good game but getting a 5 star from summons is not easy, plus getting enough orbs for a summon takes a lot of grinding.”

However, there are significant concerns regarding the high cost of in-app purchases, perceived cash grab tactics, and low rates for obtaining desirable characters, leading to frustration among players.

“No ads unless you want to watch them for perks.”
“Amazing, not a pay to win, no ads.”
“It's fun and while yes there's a lot of potential microtransactions, you can do a ton without spending a cent.”
“The problem with this game is the same with almost any mobile game - monetization and gambling mechanics.”
“This game is a total cash grab like Diablo Immortal... plus the rates and 7th anniversary are both a joke.”
“Was good I even spent money on this game but the gacha rates are a scam. You spend thousands of orbs on a double chance and get nothing. It's just another shameless cash grab; don't waste your time.”

“No sound or music is playing even after I open and close the game.”
