- “To me, the story aspects sort of serve as a motivator and bonus for playing the maps, and you'll like characters for their designs and personalities, but don't expect to be super emotionally compelled by any personal struggles or character arcs.”

The gameplay of Magellania has seen notable improvements, particularly with the grid-based movement update, resulting in a snappy and engaging experience devoid of grinding. While the game features interesting mechanics and a humorous aesthetic, some players feel that the stage design could benefit from more unique environments and varied win conditions to enhance strategic depth. Overall, the controls are primarily mouse-based, which can be streamlined but may lead to initial misclicks, yet the game successfully delivers a fresh take on the SRPG genre with its artistic vision and enjoyable gameplay.
- “The recent updates have resolved most of my minor grievances with gameplay.”
- “A quick, lightweight SRPG with interesting mechanics, humorous writing, and a pleasant and synergistic aesthetic.”
- “I honestly bought this game not knowing what to expect at all, yet I got a form of turn-based gameplay that's almost completely new to me, but despite that, it is engaging, with wonderful music, surprisingly competent writing with decent humor, very good art design and visuals, and good length for its price.”
- “All in all, the gameplay offers many refreshing takes on the SRPG genre, though there are some issues.”
- “Win conditions are either route the enemy, defeat the boss, or route the enemy under a certain number of turns, and it could've been cool to have different conditions such as defend, escape, or escort to once again encourage different gameplay styles or strategy.”
- “The controls on the map are mostly mouse-based, and while once you get used to them it streamlines gameplay and allows you to play very quickly, at the start it can be easy to accidentally misclick or do actions you don't intend.”
