The gameplay of the game is characterized by fast-paced, action-oriented combat mechanics that are visually appealing and engaging, making it enjoyable for players who appreciate hack-and-slash styles. However, many users noted that the gameplay can become repetitive and grindy, especially at higher levels, with some expressing concerns about the lack of depth in mechanics and the tedious nature of endgame content. Overall, while the game offers a fun and dynamic experience, it may not sustain long-term interest due to its repetitive elements and reliance on grinding.
- “The game has nice features, is simple and straightforward, the action combat is super fast and flashy which makes the gameplay super interesting. The game design is nice for an anime hub-based game; if this game ever gets a remaster version on the new game engines, I am pretty sure that it would attract even more players!”
- “Engaging gameplay: the combat was quick and satisfying, making it easy to jump in and enjoy.”
- “Awesome gameplay with lots of completely different styles according to the specialization you choose, worth a try just for that alone.”
- “There's an immense amount of options and mechanics that you never feel a need for as you level, but at the same time continue to accumulate until there's an entire book worth of information you don't understand.”
- “The gameplay cycle gets really boring really quick since you start off so overpowered you literally take no damage from enemies, so it's more of a tedious chore than a rewarding and challenging grind.”
- “The gameplay is pretty generic and grindy.”

Overall, the narrative is often deemed unremarkable, with players suggesting that the focus should be more on gameplay mechanics rather than the story itself.

- “The story needs some polish, but as with most MMORPGs, the story doesn't really matter much.”

The grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention among players, with many describing it as excessively tedious and repetitive, especially at endgame where progression often requires hours of farming the same dungeons. While some players appreciate the grind for the sense of achievement and community it fosters, others find it overwhelming and frustrating, particularly for new or undergeared players. Overall, the game is characterized as highly grindy, with a mix of enjoyment for those who thrive on such mechanics and dissatisfaction for those seeking a more balanced experience.
- “As a free-to-play game, it is not demanding, it is not pay-to-win, and it is not grindy.”
- “What I dislike about this game is the hardcore farming that the devs force you to do after max level in order for you to progress. This is really hard for new or undergeared players since the game's player base is mostly veterans who are highly geared and mostly play with other veterans and not with new players.”
- “The gameplay is fun, the leveling experience was enjoyable, but the endgame is obnoxious. Gearing in the endgame seems to be confusing and tedious; it's very involved and grindy.”
- “Once you get to max level, there is still plenty to do if you don't mind grinding to upgrade gear. However, the grind is excessive and can feel like a tedious chore rather than a rewarding experience.”
