The story is generally considered enjoyable and emotionally resonant, despite some awkward localization and derivative elements. While it follows a familiar JRPG structure, it features cute characters and a plot that can surprise players with unexpected twists. Overall, it is recommended for fans of casual RPGs, though the ending may not be uplifting.
- “I found the story to be quite enjoyable as well.”
- “Certainly recommended for those that like JRPG-esque storylines.”
- “The game follows a common pattern of recollecting certain items in order to fight the final boss and save the world, and it's funny because when you think you are going to fight the final boss, another event happens and opens a new storyline, changing everything you've been fighting for.”
- “As for the storyline, it admittedly seems mostly aware - almost too aware - of how derivative it is, which I guess is fine.”
- “I get the impression it's one part that the writer(s) actually had figured out, but much of what happens throughout the plot leading up to it is far weaker.”
- “Not quite a spoiler, but a heads up: although the story is cute, the ending will not leave you chipper-happy.”

The gameplay features a puzzle-based ability mechanic that is initially enjoyable but becomes tedious over time, lacking depth in rewarding strategic thought. While the combat mechanics, which involve a tile-matching variation, are highlighted as a strong point, the overall experience is marred by repetitive sound design and occasional crashes, though the game does auto-save frequently to minimize progress loss. Despite these issues, the charming art and endearing characters contribute to a generally pleasant experience.
- “This game has a nice idea and mechanics; the art is also adorable.”
- “Pretty endearing, the game mechanics were pleasant, and overall a nice experience.”
- “It has a good story, cute characters, and I feel the best part is the combat mechanics, a variation on tile matching.”
- “I got tired of the sound of the game pretty soon, so I muted all of it and kept playing. This says a lot about the game since sounds not only set the player into a good ambiance but also help you to focus on the game. I feel like the music didn't match the quality of the gameplay.”
- “Some random crashes (no message, no alerts, just freezes for a few seconds and then the window closes) happened a few times. It doesn’t really affect where you were last time (at maximum, you may lose 5 minutes of gameplay since the game saves automatically after every fight).”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players noting that it often disappears unexpectedly and fails to enhance the gameplay experience. Many found the soundtrack unremarkable, leading them to mute it entirely, suggesting that it does not effectively contribute to the game's atmosphere or engagement. Overall, the music is seen as a weak point, detracting from the overall quality of the experience.
- “The demon king (or rather the devil) is resurrected, you're the mild-mannered unlikely hero who has to save the day, the same old song and dance.”
- “Recommended for those who like JRPGs and who don't as a time-killer game, since it doesn't really have anything special apart from the story and you could end up playing it with your own sound (music).”
- “Sometimes the background music just disappears for no apparent reason.”
- “I got tired of the sound of the game pretty soon, so I muted all of it and kept playing. This says a lot about the game since sounds not only set the player into a good ambiance but also help you to focus on the game. I feel like the music didn't match the quality of the gameplay.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unchallenging, as leveling up occurs inconsistently and often requires minimal effort. The puzzle-based mechanics initially provide some enjoyment, but they quickly become repetitive, leading to a lack of meaningful rewards for grinding. Overall, the experience feels monotonous and fails to engage players in a rewarding way.
- “The puzzle-based ability mechanic is kind of fun for a second but quickly gets tedious and doesn't really reward thought.”
- “It takes you like five or six fights to level up (sometimes two), so this is not consistent, making grinding a bit boring since you will reach level cap with no special effort. Fighting is not a challenge in this game; if you die a few times in the same battle, all you have to do is get a few levels and new equipment.”

stability

The game experiences occasional random crashes that result in brief freezes and abrupt closures, but these do not significantly impact gameplay, as automatic saves occur after each fight, minimizing potential loss to about five minutes.
- “The game experiences random crashes without any error messages or alerts, causing it to freeze for a few seconds before closing. This has happened multiple times, but it doesn't significantly impact progress since the game saves automatically after every fight, meaning you may only lose about 5 minutes of gameplay.”
- “I've encountered several instances where the game just freezes and closes unexpectedly. While it doesn't completely ruin the experience due to the automatic save feature, it's still frustrating to deal with these interruptions.”
- “There are frequent crashes that occur without warning, leading to sudden freezes and the game closing. Although the automatic save system mitigates the loss of progress, the instability is still a major concern.”
