Players generally find that grinding is a significant aspect of the game, often necessary to progress through later stages, especially when aiming for higher-tier units. While some enjoy the strategic elements and art style, many express frustration over the tedious nature of farming for resources and experience, which can detract from the overall enjoyment of the story. Suggestions for improvement include enhancing the shop system and allowing for more efficient grinding methods, such as automated battles.
- “Grinding is mandatory if you want to get past the later worlds even with 7-star units. 3- and 4-star units are way too common in the gachas, even though there's way more 5- and 6-stars than there are 3- and 4-stars. The dialogue's painfully mediocre, character customization's limited, and Luni's boss fight can go kill itself.”
- “This game is beautiful and fun; however, it takes a lot of grinding to get through the story, which takes away from the story experience.”
- “My only complaint is that after you get through the first 50 levels, it becomes kind of grindy.”
