The story of "Burokku Girls" is generally seen as interesting but often clichéd and lacking depth, serving primarily as a vehicle for fanservice. While the characters are well-written and the narrative has potential, many players express disappointment over the limited interactivity and the episodic format, which leaves the story feeling incomplete. Overall, it appeals to those who enjoy light-hearted, fanservice-driven plots, but may not satisfy players seeking a more substantial narrative experience.
“The story is genuinely interesting, though it can be rather clichéd and unoriginal at times. The characters are well-written, and the fanservice is genuinely enjoyable, sensual but not overly explicit, the way it should be.”
“I did actually like the story and think it had a pretty decent plot that might've made a good anime OVA like those from the late 90s with only 3-6 episodes.”
“I love this game! Good story overall, great characters, and the background for this world is beautiful. It's a great sense of imagination, and I can't wait until they make a second game!”
“The only things I really dislike about Burokku Girls is the near-total lack of interactivity; there are only two points where the player is required to make a decision, and only the second one actually impacts the story at all. The fanservice can also be a bit ridiculous at times, though I'm not necessarily complaining about that.”
“I hate this whole episodic story thing... I wish I could just buy a game and finish it. I hate that I buy a game, thinking I'm getting a full story, and then nope... the story just dies.”
“There is nothing special about the story since it's just a vehicle to get you to the boobs.”

The graphics feature a mix of original artwork that stands out from typical anime styles, though the quality varies among sprites due to multiple artists contributing. The art effectively combines elements from popular genres like SAO and Minecraft, appealing to fans of ecchi anime, particularly those who prioritize fanservice.
“The artwork of the characters is very nice.”
“Even the artwork seems original and not just another anime style clone.”
“The art style is nice; I believe there’s more than one artist involved, so not all sprites have the same quality—some are good or decent, while others are kind of awkward.”
“The graphics feel like a mishmash of styles, combining elements from various games without a cohesive identity.”
“The artwork lacks originality and resembles a generic anime style clone.”
“The visuals seem to prioritize fanservice over quality, which may not appeal to all players.”
