The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the character design and overall aesthetic as "cute" and "gorgeous." However, some users report performance issues, such as lag and a lack of graphic settings for lower-end devices, which detracts from the experience.

- “Superb graphics, fun and stress-free gaming experience, lots of freebies and events, active developer.”
- “The graphics look gorgeous.”
- “The graphics of this game are impressive.”
- “Was a truly incredible idle progression game but once I got to level 100 it started to lag badly, like frame-to-frame lag. I grew up during the WoW period, so I can handle a little lag, but this was terrible and made the game very unpleasant to try to watch. If they can fix this or at least add graphic settings I can turn down, it'd be an awesome game.”
- “Awful graphics, transactions, awful drop rates, awful.”
- “The graphics are awful, like old school saga.”

- “Slow and the gameplay is full auto gacha is bad; the more you pay, the more rewards you get. Huge red flag; this tells me it's a pay-to-win game not worth it, save your time.”
