- “As is usual with Sierra Lee titles, the game brings a fantastic story and strongly written characters.”
- “The story that unfolds is interesting, well written, and more compelling than many non-18+ titles.”
- “The storytelling is excellent and far above par compared to its peers in the adult game genre.”
- “The storytelling is too fast, the plot is a bit confusing and not convincing, and the character development is not good.”
- “If you expected the last sovereign standard of story, I do not recommend it.”
- “Its this story your main character is a woman who conducts research as an archeologist for whatever reason, making use of her proficient knowledge and skills in alchemy, combat, healing arts, and monster slaying capabilities, yet the story tells us that she has to work as a prostitute in a brothel to feed her daughter because it is the 'safest' and more 'lucrative' way to earn money... no, just no... I'm not feeling it.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many praising its engaging mechanics and integration with the story, particularly highlighting the thoughtful worldbuilding and character development. However, some players noted that certain mechanics were poorly explained, leading to confusion, and criticized the presence of casino mechanics that detracted from the experience. Overall, the game is recognized for its solid RPG elements and compelling narrative, though some feel it could benefit from additional gameplay hours and clearer mechanics.
- “Like all of Sierra Lee's games, this has an awesome story and engaging gameplay.”
- “In summary, Desecration of Wing is an exceptional game that combines well-balanced JRPG-style gameplay with a compelling plot, thoughtful, well-written dialogue, and an elegantly conveyed empathy.”
- “The way the gameplay reinforces the world building and story was actually a bit stunning at first.”
- “I felt that while separately the mechanics, the gameplay, and the adult material worked well, when all put together the game was kind of a mess.”
- “Unfortunately, we are in an age where casino mechanics are rampant in games, so it's highly likely that people will go into the casino in this game thinking 'I can get cool stuff here,' and no, Felana's flavor text upon entering the casino isn't enough.”
- “A few gameplay mechanics were never explained (affection between party members). Most gains seemed plot-involved anyway, and I have no clue what changes the affection scores grant.”

Reviews indicate that grinding in the game is a mixed experience; while some players appreciate the traditional JRPG grind for levels and skills, others find the necessity to grind for money tedious, especially with frequent ambushes. The endgame features high HP enemies that can make grinding feel repetitive, but the balance of enemy difficulty and the rewarding combat system help mitigate some of the frustration. Overall, grinding is seen as integral to the experience, though it can become excessive, particularly for those pursuing the "true" ending.
- “The game is about 30 hours long, with the last third spent grinding levels and skills so you have a chance to beat the final bosses.”
- “While I don't mind the grind if the levels prove necessary, the grind just for money gets tedious pretty quickly, especially when you can quite easily beat the game in the low-mid 30s.”
- “A - I don't mind some JRPG grinding, but I found that the store page's claim of 'removing the grind' is only true if you're aiming for a certain achievement and ending. If you want the 'true' ending, then you have to do some grinding.”
