The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its thoughtfulness and immersive qualities, while others criticize it for lacking depth and engagement. Although the animated narrative and character decisions are highlighted as strengths, several users feel that the quests are uninteresting and the overall plot does not offer much excitement. Overall, the story may appeal to those looking for a light, enjoyable experience, but it may disappoint players seeking a more dynamic narrative.
“Yes, perhaps for someone such a plot may not seem very active, but everything is thought out, and it will be interesting to play this game to cheer up and just immerse yourself in the story!”
“Very cool and beautiful auto-battler RPG with a great, animated story!”
“Features a detailed story, interesting gear decisions to make on each character you choose, which out of a bundle of possible recruits, over time, you can really nail down a cool, unique and combat-interesting party!”
“I wish the quests had more depth; they really weren't too interesting.”
“Bad story and bad gameplay.”
“The core concept of the game is bad, and the gameplay and story don't really have any redeeming values to them in any way.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its beauty and creativity, likening it to the soundtrack of "Octopath Traveler," while others find it sleep-inducing and mediocre. Overall, the sound design is generally considered enjoyable, contributing positively to the game's charm despite some criticisms of its repetitiveness.
“The game itself is an autobattler designed like a strategy RPG with tons of charm, a gorgeous pixel art style blended with equally creative and unique character designs, and a beautiful soundtrack that honestly sounds like it was ripped straight out of Octopath Traveler.”
“I love the art, music, and the amount of control I have is about what I want in an autobattler.”
“Between the auto-battles, the limited slots (really, just one for weapon and one for equipment), the doodled-by-3-year-old pixel graphics and the sleep-inducing music, I'd say pass.”
“Some decent graphics and animations and okay music.”
“The soundtrack and sound design in general is also pretty enjoyable.”

The game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate its accessibility and potential for high scores, many find it lacking in depth and content after a few playthroughs. Although it offers enjoyable gameplay initially, the short length and limited post-completion activities lead to a consensus that replay value diminishes significantly once the main objectives are achieved. Future content updates could enhance replayability, but currently, it varies widely among players.
“I love the game; it is fully accessible to the visually impaired and has great replay value. The overall experience is great, and the devs respond fast to feedback.”
“The game is painfully short, but the length is offset by its replay value. I realize that once you've gotten every single unit to rank 3, there isn't much left to do other than go for a high score.”
“The game is painfully short - the length of the game is offset by its replay value, I realize, but once you've gotten every single unit to rank 3, there isn't really much left to do right now other than go for a high score.”
“No depth, no intrigue, no replay value.”
“Really good so far, clocked it in just over an hour but a lot of replayability if they continue to release content for the game.”
