Good graphics and attractive female character designs with jiggle physics and cinematic cutscenes.
Fun squad-based mech action combat with autoplay option and competent AI; smooth optimization with stable framerate on high-end hardware.
Generous gacha system early on with reasonable rates and plentiful free currency; includes top-tier Japanese voice acting and enjoyable soundtrack.

Severe lack of PC optimization with clunky controls, no key remapping, and a mobile-oriented UI that is blurry and cluttered.
No cross-platform account linking between mobile and PC versions, forcing players to restart progress on Steam.
Predatory gacha mechanics with low pull rates for high-rank characters and weapons, heavy grinding required, and pay-to-win elements limiting free-to-play progression.

The gameplay is generally described as a simple, auto-battler with competent AI and some interesting combat mechanics, but it quickly becomes repetitive and lacks depth, especially after autoplay unlocks. While the game features impressive visuals, mech battles, and tactical elements, many find the mechanics clunky, uninspired, and heavily reliant on gacha systems, leading to a shallow and sometimes boring experience. Some event modes add variety, but overall, the gameplay feels unfinished and could benefit from significant polishing.
- “The mechanics are simple to learn, but the challenges quickly become intricate and rewarding.”
- “E delivers intense, tactical gameplay with stunning mech battles and deep strategy.”
- “The big difference I found is the gameplay; I find it better than most free gacha games on Steam but still, in the end, it's one of those games where it's extremely repetitive and you need to put money in or face the wall of progression after a few hours.”
- “Clunky gameplay, not enjoyable, mediocre at best character design, stiff voice work, awful gacha mechanics and a plot so dull it could lull you to sleep.”
- “Gameplay feels repetitive after only an hour, and the story is utterly forgettable.”
- “The gameplay is very weird, you just press buttons and expect things to happen without knowing what's going on or what you should do.”
story

The story is generally described as decent but unremarkable, with a plot that some find engaging while others consider dull or predictable. Progression is heavily gated by commander level and combat power, often requiring slow grinding and stamina, which hinders pacing and immersion. Additionally, limited voice acting, repetitive dialogue clicks, and reliance on gacha mechanics detract from the overall narrative experience.
- “E offers unique character designs and progression systems while having a rich story and the ability to bond with characters.”
- “The mix of post-apocalyptic warfare and character-driven storytelling keeps every fight thrilling and emotionally charged.”
- “This is a pretty nice gacha with a decent story that gives enough details about the world and even more so when it comes to the characters to keep you interested.”
- “Story progression is gated behind account level which can only be increased slowly via dailies.”
- “The script is heavy and predictable; you are the commander leading an endless big-boob waifu force against massive waves of mech enemies. It's painful to watch this game's story and having to constantly click dialog options breaks immersion.”
- “The main story missions are locked behind a much higher commander level requirement, even if you have more than enough combat power on your team to complete them.”

The graphics receive mixed feedback, praised for good optimization and impressive mech combat visuals on high-end PCs, yet criticized for dated, blurry, or low-resolution character models and UI elements, especially on mobile and emulator versions. Overall, while mech designs and effects can be striking, the visuals often suffer from pixelation and a plastic look, indicating room for graphical updates.
- “+ great optimization; stable framerate (144Hz monitor) on max graphics settings on RTX 5070 with zero framerate drops and no screen tearing.”
- “+ autoplay combat allows you to fully appreciate the spectacular visuals of mech combat.”
- “Amazing graphics and gameplay, best I've ever seen for anime style.”
- “Character visuals are low quality, and effects are quite basic.”
- “It looks and plays super clunky, the graphics for PC are really bad, I know this is a mobile port but the UI isn't even optimized, some of the UI looks very pixelated as it's just blown up from a small to a larger size image.”
- “Anything is just like zoomed in and blurry (even though I already set the correct resolution in settings with highest graphic setting too).”
grinding

Grinding in the game is extensive, with combat power requirements scaling rapidly and necessitating significant farming of upgrade materials, characters, and weapons. Progression heavily relies on repetitive farming stages and resource management, which can become tedious, especially as resource costs increase and opportunities for fast advancement diminish. While some find the grinding relaxing, the gameplay lacks variety and may slow considerably at higher levels.
- “Combat power (CP) requirements for story stages scale too quickly for squad stats to keep up, even if you engage with all progression systems, forcing grinding for upgrade materials and repeating farming stages.”
- “After exhausting the starting farming methods (it took me 150 hours to do that), there are fewer opportunities for rapid advancement.”
- “After getting close to lifting the level 50 cap, resources become expensive, farming costs a lot of energy, and progress slows to a crawl.”

The game's optimization is mixed: while performance is stable and smooth on high-end hardware with no framerate drops, the PC version suffers from poor UI design, clunky mouse and keyboard controls, and overall a lack of refinement for desktop play, resulting in stuttering and occasional crashes.
- “Great optimization; stable framerate (144Hz monitor) on max graphics settings on RTX 5070 with zero framerate drops and no screen tearing.”
- “I like it because robot designs like this are rare on Steam, and its optimization is stable.”
- “That said, performance is top-notch for a game that has just released on Steam.”
- “Pc controls aren't optimized — navigating with mouse and keyboard feels clunky.”
- “The PC version lacks proper optimization and doesn't feel smooth enough for desktop play.”
- “The port still has a mobile UI and is not optimized for PCs, stutters a lot, and even had a crash or two when doing ultimates.”
