However, some users appreciate the anime aesthetic combined with pixel art, considering it a strong point that complements the game's music.
“Anime aesthetic and pixel RPG is the best combo I've ever seen.”
“As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized due to the presence of suspiciously similar reviews, predominantly in broken English or Russian, which appear shortly after launch and suggest a pattern of fake reviews aimed at promoting asset flips and scams. This raises concerns about the authenticity of user feedback and the game's overall integrity in the marketplace.
“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
