The gameplay of the game is generally described as simple and basic, often taking a backseat to the rich storytelling and character interactions. While some players appreciate the smooth mechanics and customization options, many find the turn-based combat repetitive and lacking depth, with a significant emphasis on dialogue over gameplay. Overall, it appeals more to those who enjoy narrative-driven experiences rather than action-oriented gameplay.
“The gameplay is also smooth with no problems for me, and I love the flow of the game.”
“Gameplay is a little bit classic and basic but that is not this game's main appeal.”
“Amazing story, music and gameplay!”
“The gameplay itself I find to be a bit on the 'ehh okay' side, but it's not terrible.”
“The only thing I'm disappointed about is the gameplay; the animation is stiff when they attack, I hope it improves soon!”

Voice acting and sound effects are also highlighted as top-notch, contributing to the game's immersive atmosphere.

“The music and writing are the highlights of the game, and this work deserves more eyes on it.”
“The game was amazing, the story is really great and the music too; it's top notch!”

“Music is okay, but the gameplay is really dull.”
“I was a fan of the music even before the game came out; there’s a lot of the stuff you’d expect from a 'mobile' game though.”

Overall, players express that while the game is enjoyable, it suffers from significant optimization issues, particularly on mobile devices. Users report long loading times, frequent stuttering, and increasing storage requirements, which detract from the overall experience. There is a strong call for developers to enhance performance, improve server stability, and optimize screen resolution for various devices.
“Okay hear me out devs, this game is already a masterpiece as is, but it needs a lot of optimization like optimize the transition when going into combat and changing scenarios. It takes quite some time to load things and it stutters from time to time. Please optimize the server connection because we often get disconnected mid-story climax. Please, devs, don't screw this one up! ❣️”
“I think the only problem is it needs more optimization on mobile, and I don't know why the size of the game is getting bigger. Although I already downloaded all the resources that it takes like 19GB, every time I progress in the game, it takes more storage for some reason. Now the game is more than 20GB, and it looks like it's going to be higher in the future.”
