The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and well-integrated into the gameplay, particularly appreciating its Arthurian themes and character designs. However, many others criticize it as generic, short, or poorly executed, often feeling that it lacks depth and fails to draw players in. Technical issues, such as lag and crashes during story segments, further detract from the overall experience, leaving some players frustrated with the storytelling presentation.
- “The game's story looks rather interesting, though unfortunately we don't get all too much of it as of yet. One thing I'd like to see is unlocking more of a character's story as you play them, because a few characters have rather interesting lore.”
- “The story is interesting, you usually won't run out of stuff to do, and almost all of the characters are usable to some capacity, excluding a few bad apples.”
- “Great game with a great story, character design, and the gameplay also excellent.”
- “So first off the story is completely uninspired and generic.”
- “Sadly the story is badly written with little dialogue, and currency is scarce and expensive to buy.”

Overall, the graphics of the game have received a positive reception, with many users praising the beautiful artwork, character designs, and smooth animations.

Despite these criticisms, the game's visual aesthetics and art style are frequently highlighted as standout features, contributing to an enjoyable gaming experience.
- “The graphics are great, gameplay itself is pretty straightforward, tutorial is short and keeps you in the game.”
- “Graphics are great as well as animations, very clear and illustrations are quite beautiful for both characters and environments.”
- “I love this game, the graphics are outstanding, cute characters, f2p friendly, generous events, higher summon rate for 4* and 5* than other similar games.”
- “The game character designs are great, but my gosh the battle graphics are awful and so basic, like bobbleheads on an old school gaming system.”
- “I had to uninstall; shame if you compare it to other games, it massively misses the mark on graphics when it comes to battle.”
- “The 3D graphics are horrible; the graphics look like they are from 10 years ago. Brave Nine had better artwork.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its strategic elements and tactical depth, particularly in manual combat. However, some criticize it for being overly simplistic or generic, with a reliance on auto-combat and dated mechanics. Overall, while the graphics and character design are praised, there are calls for improvements in gameplay systems and balance to enhance the overall experience.

- “The gameplay is mediocre at best.”
- “Gameplay is stale near the end, and I can't be bothered to log in anymore.”
- “Boring gameplay + lowest drop rates (materials/runes either drop by 1 or nothing at all) + no team formation creation (which is ironic because it put 'tactics' in its title) + boring storyline (every stage has the same plot, the main character asks for an alliance but they attack, then the main character beats them, so they agree) + no settings configuration for battle (like the skill animations that just randomly play) = lousy game.”

The monetization in this game is widely criticized for being aggressive and expensive, typical of gacha games, with many players feeling it prioritizes profit over player experience. While some users find the game fun and not overly intrusive with ads, the overwhelming sentiment is that the in-app purchases are exorbitant and create a pay-to-win environment. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as a cash grab, detracting from the game's potential enjoyment.
- “Haven't played much, but so far, it seems good. The initial resources gained are nice (usually the case to get you hooked though haha), the core gameplay is fun, the character design is great, although one should not go into it expecting the monetization to be different from any other gacha game.”
- “Loveable sprites and good gameplay, and best of all, the microtransactions aren't pushy or mandatory for progression.”
- “It is simple but still fun, and the in-app purchases are not very intrusive.”
- “The in-app purchases are extremely expensive.”
- “A promising game marred by an aggressive and intrusive monetization campaign.”

However, some users express disappointment over the limited variety in the soundtrack, which can detract from the emotional impact of key story moments. Overall, while the music is generally well-received, there are calls for more diversity and the ability to play personal music alongside the game.
- “The best in-game music I've ever heard, next battle system, magnificent, a well explained battle effects, and lastly and finally a budget friendly gacha system.”
- “First of all the music, it's so cool and relaxing!!”
- “I enjoy the character design, the summoning system, the background music.. overall it's a very fun and enjoyable game!”
- “I can't play my own music in the background of the game because it constantly closes my Spotify while playing.”
- “I would like to recommend expanding on the soundtrack; there were times when the scenes in story mode weren't as impactful during moments of tension since the same song is played for the entire story.”
- “The music is awful and the gameplay is terrible; it's so slow to get started that I was bored, but I tried to stay with it. However, the game got to me and drove me to tears.”

- “Character design is so-so, but for some reason in 2020, this dev still does not let players skip battles and forces us to grind battles continuously 24/7.”
stability

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent freezing and lag reported during gameplay, often attributed to poor network connections and memory issues. Many players experience interruptions even at basic functions, leading to frustration and some considering uninstalling the game until these issues are resolved. While the game has potential and positive aspects, the persistent bugs and glitches detract from the overall experience.
- “Can't even make it past the title screen due to 'unstable network connection', and when I click reconnect, it just freezes.”

- “Game has potential, but every time I press something, it freezes for up to 5 seconds before performing the action. It's really a shame.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with users reporting issues such as low frame rates, laggy menu transitions, and excessive battery drain even on the lowest settings. While some players have experienced smooth performance, many others have noted that the game frequently freezes and struggles with stability, particularly during 3D previews and combat. Overall, there is a consensus that the game requires substantial optimization improvements to enhance the user experience.
- “120fps should be added along with hiding backgrounds just so your characters are visible during battle for auto optimization along with hiding attack effects and turning off animated portraits as they cause a lot of delay.”
- “When showing a 3D preview of a character, frame rates drop massively and the UI should be more optimized because the transition between menus is a little bit laggy.”
- “But I guess this problem is understandable because this game is relatively new; hopefully, this will be fixed in the next update for more optimized performance.”
- “I think this game is poorly optimized.”
- “Beautiful artworks and nice music; it's a shame that the game suffers from poor optimization, draining the battery very quickly even on the lowest settings!”
- “Need more performance stability; sometimes the game freezes for a couple of seconds and the phone heats up faster (tested using SD 845).”
