The story in Epic Seven is widely praised for its depth and engaging narrative, with many players noting its anime-like quality and well-developed characters. While some find the plot to be somewhat generic or predictable, the overall presentation, including stunning graphics and animated cutscenes, enhances the storytelling experience. However, players also express frustration with the grind required to progress, particularly in later chapters, and the low drop rates for high-tier characters, which can detract from the enjoyment of the story.
“The story is captivating and the animations scenes are of extreme quality.”
“The story is engaging and well-told, the combat system is nuanced but easy to understand, the freemium aspects are unintrusive and generous to start out, and the design is gorgeous!”
“The story is amazing and the combat is spectacular.”
“The story is terrible.”
“The story is frustratingly bad; to avoid spoilers, I won't go too far into why, but blaming your constant failing on someone else and then telling them to leave because 'you've got this' is painfully stupid.”

The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their stunning quality, vibrant art style, and smooth animations, often compared to high-quality anime. Players appreciate the detailed character designs and immersive cutscenes, which enhance the overall gaming experience. However, some users have noted that while the visuals are impressive, the gameplay can become repetitive and grind-heavy, detracting from the enjoyment of the graphics.
“The graphics are beautiful along with the animated characters and effects; the gameplay is pretty simple, which allows you to get the hang of it easier.”
“Graphics and sound are top-notch, and the best part is that it's so well optimized that your phone doesn't even get warm or drain a lot of battery. It can also be played on a device from 4 years back and still run smoothly on max settings.”
“The graphics are stunning, the art and soundtrack are top-notch.”
“The artwork is terrible, look at the recent K-pop collab characters compared to earlier units.”
“The veneer of flashy graphics only conceals the shocking absence of gameplay for the first level or two... if you enjoy holding the screen for ten seconds to move right, tapping an enemy, then repeating ad nauseam, this game is for you.”
“Despite my reservations, Epic 7 has impressed me; it features solid graphics, a solid English VA team, and a real fantasy anime feel.”

The gameplay of the game is widely praised for its engaging mechanics, stunning animations, and beautiful graphics, making it enjoyable for both casual and dedicated players. However, many users express frustration with the grind-heavy nature of the game, particularly in the late stages, where repetitive tasks and low drop rates for rare characters can diminish the experience. Overall, while the gameplay is considered fun and strategic, it is often marred by issues related to RNG mechanics and resource management, leading to a mixed reception among players.
“The gameplay is fantastic, the story is non-intrusive and replayable at any time, so I can get right into the action and watch/read the story later.”
“The gameplay is exciting and beautiful!”
“The gameplay is superb, graphics and story are beautiful.”
“The gameplay is very repetitive and boring.”
“Consequently, it became really stale to me when I realized that my gameplay was just auto farming for days to get little rewards.”
“The grind mostly feels pointless at the endgame, the gacha is abysmal, not to mention that quite literally every single mechanic in the game is purely influenced by luck in one way or another.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received significant criticism from players, who describe it as excessively tedious and time-consuming. Many reviews highlight the frustratingly low drop rates for gear and materials, making progression feel slow and unrewarding, especially in the late game. While some players appreciate the grind as part of the experience, the overwhelming consensus is that the game could benefit from quality-of-life improvements, such as auto-repeat features and better resource management, to alleviate the monotony of grinding.
“Interesting and strategic battle system and good game progression; a lot of things to do but not too grindy and frustrating.”
“The means to acquire currency isn't tedious or unreasonable, which is something I really appreciate.”
“The main drawback is the slow grinding process and the pop-up 'sales' about every hour (most of which are just resources to speed up or skip some of your grinding very temporarily, like most mobile games nowadays).”
“Grinding for gear is really tedious, which just discourages me every time I try to get a new unit, because it takes ages to gear them and by the time I get the gear, the unit is already irrelevant in the meta.”
“The game is very grindy, and you are bombarded with real money packs which is a huge turn off.”

“Character development has a lot of options for how to build.”
“The story and character development are wonderful, the gameplay is diverse, and the graphics/art are gorgeous.”
“The newest moonlight character was also censored, which sets a bad precedent for future character designs.”
“Epic Seven is not fun to play at an endgame level, and now the threat of the last positive aspect of the game, character designs, can be changed on a whim.”
“But changing character designs, whether it be 'censorship' or not, after people have already become invested in the characters is a big no for me.”

“All the changes have made Epic Seven more accessible for those who don't want to pay a lot on in-game purchases.”
“Gorgeous visuals and an engaging story, but best of all the monetization is not too aggressive.”
“Even though it has in-app purchases, they make them completely optional and the game is more of a play to win than a pay to win.”

“It became just a boring cash grab and instead of addressing these issues, more unstable content just keeps getting created.”
“The greatest downfall of this game is the absurd pricing for in-app purchases.”

“Awesome game, horrible optimization - played this game for over a year and recently it's started crashing at random multiple times a day. Sent a ticket and got the usual reinstall response.”
