  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a mix of enjoyable city and character development options, reminiscent of the first idle caliber game, but is marred by overly complex tabletop RPG mechanics that detract from the experience. While some players may appreciate the waifu collecting and dating sim elements, the overall design choices and execution leave much to be desired, resulting in a disjointed gameplay experience.

    • “Mechanically, the game is pretty fun with plenty of options on how you want to develop your city and characters.”
    • “The first idle caliber was a hidden gem—rough around the edges, but ultimately rewarding once you took the time to understand its mechanics.”
    • “Another problem is the unnecessary tabletop RPG mechanics—such as dice rolls, saving throws, and success/failure checks—that complicate gameplay rather than enhance it.”
    • “The game's design choices, frustrating mechanics, and lackluster content leave a lot to be desired.”
    • “Game mechanics are sort of everywhere.”

  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally well-received, praised for its quality and enhancements over the previous game, including improved translation and polish. However, some users feel that these improvements come at the cost of certain elements from the original. Overall, the narrative is complemented by impressive art and music.

    • “The story is pretty good, the art is awesome, and the music is so damn good!”
    • “This game just takes the first game, has a slightly better translation, better tutorial, makes it more polished and modern looking, adds a story, and adds a bunch of effects but at the expense of the above issues.”
    • “The story feels tacked on and doesn't add any real depth to the gameplay.”
    • “I found the narrative to be predictable and lacking in originality, making it hard to stay engaged.”

    The graphics are praised for their stunning anime artwork featuring various cute characters, complemented by smooth animations. Reviewers also note the improved coherence and cohesiveness of the user interface and overall visual presentation.

    • “The various cute girls are brought to life with stunning anime artwork and nice animations, enhancing the profound turn-based combat.”
    • “The user interface and graphics are more coherent and cohesive, creating a visually appealing experience.”
    • “The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
    • “The visual design is inconsistent, making it hard to immerse myself in the game world.”

    • “The character development feels shallow and lacks depth, making it hard to invest in their journeys.”
    • “I found the characters to be one-dimensional, with predictable arcs that failed to engage me.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers express disappointment with the monetization strategy, feeling that the art, while visually appealing, does not enhance the gameplay experience and comes across as a cash grab.

    • “While the art is fine, it adds no real value to the game, and paying for it feels like a cash grab—which is overall just plain disappointing.”
    • “The monetization system is overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without constantly being bombarded by ads and in-app purchases.”
    • “It feels like the game was designed to push players towards spending money rather than providing a balanced experience.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report that the game's optimization is subpar, with high CPU usage around 20% and 2GB of RAM consumed even when minimized, despite applying all recommended performance tweaks from the developer.
