The game features a very good story with a huge plot and various elements like detective mystery, showing care and effort in its creation.
Combat is action-oriented and enjoyable, not turn-based, with the ability to skip puzzles if they are too difficult, while still rewarding effort.
Sound and graphics are good, and the game plays nicely as a customized RPGMaker action RPG.

Controls are difficult to manage, with poor keyboard settings and no option to rebind keys, and controller support is inadequate or unavailable.
The game runs with significant input delay and performance issues, causing frustrating combat experiences and choppy gameplay.
The pricing and DLC model are heavily criticized for being overpriced and including expensive microtransactions, with accusations of misleading players by disguising the prologue as a full game.
