story7 positive mentions
grinding15 negative mentions
  • Very generous and F2P friendly with pulls and free resources, allowing players to get strong units without spending money.
  • Polished turn-based combat with strategic depth, smooth animations, and appealing character designs with good voice acting.
  • PvP content is robust and engaging with a meta that involves team-building and strategy, and the game allows background auto runs to ease grinding.
  • Lack of meaningful new content and story progression; repetitive events and PvE content are shallow and require heavy grinding.
  • Balance issues with dominant OP bruiser characters creating a stale PvP meta; pay-to-win elements give whales an advantage.
  • Technical problems on some platforms including login issues and bugs; developers perceived as unresponsive and prioritizing monetization over community feedback.

  • story

    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 57% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The story in this game receives mixed feedback; while some find it intriguing with good writing and lore, many describe it as boring, repetitive, and heavily time-gated. The main focus appears to be on PvP and character releases rather than story development, with limited and slow updates that frustrate players wanting more narrative content. Overall, the story is considered average and skippable by many, though it has potential for a greater sci-fi plot if expanded upon.

    • “Oh, and yes, main plot is doo-doo water, but writing is good and lore is interesting.”
    • “I was a day 1 player for the game when it first launched off Steam on June 5th 2025 and played quite a bit for approximately the first month and did enjoy the 10 chapters of story that the game launched with.”
    • “But what hooked me in is a great sci-fi story.”
    • “First of all, the story is very boring and easy to skip.”
    • “It is clear that the devs have stopped caring about the story in favor of simply releasing characters for easy profit.”
    • “They also timegate the story, which is extremely annoying no matter what game it appears in.”

  • grinding

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 6% neutral mentions, 94% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is substantial and often tedious, especially in early and late stages, with heavy reliance on repetitive farming for progression and gearing. While background auto-queuing reduces annoyance, players still face slow randomness and long grind times without guarantees, particularly for valuable items. The endgame is PvP-focused and demands extensive grinding, with some players warning of pay-to-win elements, making progression challenging for free-to-play users.

    • “The early game grind is tedious and uninteresting, and if you decide to forgo PvP, you'll find that there's very little to do each day.”
    • “Other than that, the game is heavily focused on PvP, while the PvE content is a bit challenging and requires a lot of grinding for the long term.”
    • “Problem is, they aren't guaranteed to be 3 matrix shells and there's no pity system for 3 matrix shells, so you may be farming for weeks by spending all your daily sanity before getting the shell you want.”

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics are praised for their clean, anime-inspired art style, smooth animations, and appealing visual aesthetics that often enhance events. Many users find the visuals impressive and comparable to titles like Honkai: Star Rail, with detailed character designs and lively animations. Overall, the graphics stand out as a strong point, though some feel the gameplay itself is less engaging despite the visual quality.

    • “The art style is clean, the animations are smooth, and updates have been consistent.”
    • “Each event is a celebration with a visual aesthetic that feels like a box of delicious sweets.”
    • “Graphics are so damn good, I'm on a 3060 RTX, maxed out everything and my PC isn't baking in lava lmao.”

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a challenging and engaging core loop with strategic team building and complex combat, requiring thoughtful character composition to counter bosses. However, progression can feel slow and stingy, with predatory mechanics favoring paying players, which may impact the overall fairness and enjoyment. Despite these issues, the gameplay remains smooth, fun, and rewarding for those who appreciate tactical depth.

    • “Bosses require an actual team composition to counter certain mechanics, so you don't use the same character for all the content.”
    • “The gameplay is top tier and the combat is challenging and awards complex character building and team play.”
    • “Tl;dr: good core gameplay loop and fun team building.”
    • “Bosses require an actual team composition to counter certain mechanics so you don't use the same character for all the content.”
    • “I'm missing core gameplay components because I have to run challenges nonstop to level up.”
    • “In its design of predatory and misleading mechanics that are designed to trick people that are bad at math and/or critical thinking into believing the game is generous, while in reality if you do the extremely basic math of progression speed difference and high-end stat acquisition speed alone, it's already laughably horrible. Then, when you take the more complex aspects of the pick/ban system and pick history and compound that with the previous issue, you have a game where whales have a massive direct and indirect PvP advantage, and the krill meant to be sacrificed to them think they're on a level playing field.”

  • character development

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    78% positive mentions, 22% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game features strong, visually appealing character designs that stand out compared to many gacha games, including a good balance of male characters. However, while character animation and design are praised, the focus on PvP over PvE and some cliched design choices, like emphasizing certain physical traits, have drawn mixed criticism regarding overall game development.

    • “I like some of the character designs and I also appreciate the fact that the game releases a good number of male characters too, compared to most gacha games.”
    • “It's difficult, but has amazing character design.”
    • “The character designs are top tier and the animation is well done as you play through the story, but these devs' main focus is PvP which leaves the PvE behind.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    Users praise the game's music for enhancing the experience, describing it as enjoyable and well-integrated with impressive graphics and full voice acting, contributing positively to the overall atmosphere.

    • “The title screen looked pretty awesome graphically, love the music so far (I'm in chapter 3), and shocker full voice acting!”
    • “Eventually got Google Play login to work, navigated to a newer server and as I logged onto the server, just a black screen with music playing.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent bugs that negatively impact the overall experience.

    • “It's a buggy mess.”

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is subtle and cleverly woven into exploration, with amusing secrets hidden throughout the city that highlight the blend of technology and human interaction.

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's monetization is heavily focused on aggressive gacha mechanics, making it feel predatory and primarily designed to extract money from players rather than enhance gameplay.

    • “This is a very predatory and unsatisfactory gacha game - monetization is present everywhere and is clearly the main goal of the developers.”

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game is exceptionally well-optimized, running smoothly on both minimum and average PC setups, making it accessible to a wide range of players. Users appreciate this efficient performance and encourage more games to follow suit.

    • “That right there is perfect optimization; you cater to minimum and average PC enthusiasts, allowing them to play your game. More of this, please.”
