The story is generally perceived as average, with a linear progression and a strong emphasis on NTR themes, often compared to "Akame ga Kill." While some players find it compelling due to its emotional weight and character voice acting, many criticize the narrative for being convoluted and difficult to follow, exacerbated by poor translation. Overall, the plot serves as a backdrop for gameplay, with some players noting that it can be engaging if one focuses on the missions rather than the sexual content.
- “The game is pretty fun and does have a very interesting storyline which you can play for both sides. You don't have to even enter the sexual side of the game from what I can tell; however, the plot is still pretty nice and different. The game somewhat feels similar to Material Girl, but it actually has a plot line which Material Girl doesn't really have.”
- “There are two main story routes: help the resistance defeat the empire, or join the empire (against your will) to crush the resistance. The outcome largely depends on whether you succeed at certain missions or not.”
- “Well planned out story with some translation issues and can be understood with some effort.”
- “Most of the story is followable, but a lot of text I had to double or triple take to have any idea what I just read.”
- “Often it's completely incomprehensible, which in my opinion is unacceptable in story-oriented games.”
- “The narrative is supposed to be a mercenary that gets betrayed and then instead of avenging herself or any sensible plot thread, she is incentivized to engage in rape fetishes, abuse fetishes, and all the grotesque fantasy of an otaku.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it basic and grindy, particularly in the "good" route, while others appreciate its mechanics and graphics. Critics argue that the developers prioritized adult content over gameplay depth, leading to a lack of innovation and engagement. Overall, while some enjoy the gameplay experience, many feel it falls short of expectations, especially for those seeking a more substantial adult gaming experience.
- “Killing Time is an awesome RPG; the game has great graphics and awesome gameplay.”
- “Long story short, it's a good game; gameplay is good, and the special scenes are well made (but some are a bit 'too much' for me)!”
- “The gameplay itself is pretty good, but the downside of this game is the purpose of playing an H-rated game without actually showing those H scenes we yearn about.”
- “I don’t think the game is groundbreaking; after all, these games tend to be similar in gameplay and graphics.”
- “The devs obviously didn’t put their hearts into the gameplay; it feels as if they set out to write a visual novel but were forced to squeeze it into RPG Maker against their will.”
- “Patching this game takes like 10 minutes and the gameplay is somewhat basic in the beginning and develops into a skill-spamming grindfest (if you choose to do the good route).”

The humor in the game is characterized by its random name changes for characters and places, as well as absurd moments like characters shouting "poo" during sex scenes, which some players found amusing yet bewildering.

- “You can understand what’s going on, but it’s so bad that it’s almost funny.”
