The story in this game is generally described as short, simple, and somewhat cliché, often revolving around a fairy protecting her forest from invaders. While some players find it charming and fitting for the game's casual nature, many agree that it lacks depth and can feel repetitive, with the gameplay being the main draw rather than the narrative. Overall, the story serves as a light backdrop to the action, with players encouraged to skip through dialogues and focus on combat.
- “You play as the eponymous (and adorable) Freesia, a badass fairy on a mission to protect her beautiful forest home from strange invaders.”
- “The story is cute, and although all the voice acting is in Japanese, you can still understand what's going on from the translated dialogue.”
- “Throughout the story mode, you discover the story of a fairy who's trying to protect the forest, and how each day of her challenge unfolds.”
- “The actual plot is minimal, and in typical anime fashion, characters take 20 dialogue boxes to say what could be relayed in a few words.”
- “It's a completely stock anime plot about people messing with nature and playing god which makes bad things happen, but then you save the day, the end.”
- “The story is paper thin anime fare of the kind that you've seen a million times before, and if anime style is your bag, then this is right around where you should be.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fast-paced, combo-driven mechanics and fluid combat, reminiscent of classic beat 'em ups and fighting games. While some players note a lack of enemy variety and occasional repetitiveness, the overall experience is described as fun and engaging, with a high degree of customization and replay value.

- “The gameplay is a combination of Super Smash Bros and fighting games, with customizable abilities and special attacks.”
- “Extremely fun and fast-paced action gameplay and great boss fights.”
- “The gameplay itself is like an extremely well fleshed out 2D beat 'em up, and if you've played games like Devil May Cry 3 and 4, then familiar skills like just defense and a launcher attack used to juggle enemies in air combos will stick out immediately.”
- “Too bad, no way to get that information again, better go look it up, along with other mechanics that are never explained to you.”
- “Gameplay is very repetitive, few monster types, and little variety to combat.”
- “There are also very few enemies and gameplay may get stale after noticing that monsters in the final levels are the same as the roster from the first.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, as it often involves repeating similar stages with different enemies and button-mashy combat. While some enjoy the challenge of mastering the system and completing achievements, others feel that the grinding can detract from the overall experience, especially in levels requiring specific objectives. Overall, the grinding is seen as manageable and balanced by some, but can become monotonous for others.
- “Each stage is a single screen, where you must defeat every enemy in a series of waves, before moving back to the ability shop/character menu for the next stage; truthfully, this can get a little tedious, as you end up dealing with this 'same stage, different foes' design for large parts of the game.”
- “The combat feels button-mashy and seems to require a fair bit of grinding to get the most out of it.”
- “The static 'stage' from arcade styled fighting games (minus the multiplayer), the grinding of legacy RPGs (without the depth of story).”
