The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many reviewers noting that it offers minimal narrative content and dialogue, primarily relying on animations rather than a cohesive world-building experience. Players express disappointment over the superficiality of the plot, which fails to deliver meaningful or enjoyable encounters, and the overall brevity of the game further detracts from any potential storytelling.
“Come now, join Eris in her quest to destroy the very thing that threatens her world.”
“There is also little to no dialogue in the game outside of the boss battles, which goes back to my 'no story' problem where the game doesn't really build a world around it. Instead, it just shows off scenarios rather than establishing anything; the game is entirely carried by the animations.”
“The game itself starts pretty fast, and really, I don't see any story aside from a few dialogues, so the above story about lust and etc. is purely fictional.”
“There's not much story in the game and it is short (5 stages with 11 levels +/-).”

The gameplay is praised for its solid mechanics and impressive animations, providing an enjoyable experience despite the game's limited content. Players appreciate the fun combat and find the overall value acceptable given the low price, even if the gameplay duration is short.
“The animations are great and the gameplay is very good.”
“It is a shame there isn't more to the game than this, but I still had fun. With the game being this cheap, I'm fine with just getting 2 hours of gameplay, especially considering how good the animations and events were.”
“Solid h-game with fun combat mechanics.”
