    The gameplay is generally viewed as standard for a JRPG, with a loose and unstructured progression system that may appeal to fans of classic RPGs. However, many players find the combat too easy and the item management cumbersome, detracting from the overall experience. While the game features beautiful art and amusing story elements, it struggles to fully realize its potential due to its gameplay shortcomings.

    • “Its story is amusing despite its not-so-good English translation, its art is beautiful, and its many game mechanics make the game even more entertaining.”
    • “For those that care, combat and mechanics are JRPG standard: grindy enough to feel progression, not annoying enough to stop playing.”
    • “I don't think the gameplay is that stellar, with how the progression and the gearing is very loose and unstructured for my modern tastes, but fans of the looser aspects of old RPGs without a very clearly defined power progression and curve will like it.”
    • “Gameplay is okay, but the fights are all far too easy. Items don't matter, and picking up stuff results in the whole right side of your screen scrolling through item names for minutes at a time. This really has the potential to be a far better game, but they went in too many directions with this one and missed the mark far too often.”
    • “For those that care, combat and mechanics are standard JRPG: grindy enough to feel progression, not annoying enough to stop playing.”

    • “The story is amusing despite its not-so-good English translation; its art is beautiful, and its many game mechanics make the game even more entertaining.”
    • “Even playing without the 'extra' patch, the game's story so far is humorous enough, and the characters are interesting and quirky enough that it seems worth the time and cost.”
    • “The story is fun but linear.”
    • “No second cat girl, so you can't continue the story in the next zone because you must have both cat girls.”
    • “But even playing without the 'extra' patch, the game's story so far is humorous enough, and the characters are interesting and quirky enough that it seems worth the time and cost.”
