The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced, linear mechanics that can be engaging, particularly during boss fights where players can learn enemy patterns.

- “Felt fresh in its presentation and gameplay style, is fast-paced, linear, and upbeat through and through.”
- “Don't mind the mixed reviews, you are going to love this from the beginning, an interesting history and engaging gameplay.”
- “All in all, simple mechanics with high reward if you get good.”
- “I will say that for those seeking a super casual experience, be wary as it may take a little getting used to parrying if you're not good with timing-based mechanics.”

The story in the game is generally considered interesting, featuring opposing viewpoints and a dramatic plot that enhances gameplay. However, the presentation is criticized for being cheap and the translation is janky, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the narrative is engaging, with well-executed voice acting and a card-based decision system that influences the unfolding tale.
- “The game also has some voice acting that is generally well done and in keeping with the fantasy story on display.”
- “The story narrative is interesting, and I enjoy how it doesn't disrupt the gameplay, but actually alters it.”
- “The presentation is also, sadly, really cheap and detracts from the story. Everything is presented as your character auto-running to the right, never stopping, even in villages, with your decisions being very vague cards that are usually one word. You only find out what you actually picked later, when it comes back to bite you.”
- “After having completed both story paths, it's become apparent that besides the aforementioned New Game+, there's a one-life mode available with options to upgrade your party members to their highest potential.”
- “The devs even include a nice card-based bonus system that adds some flavor to the story, allowing you to make decisions that shape the unfolding tale.”
