- “The story is somewhat mediocre, but it attracts the player's interest to some extent.”

The game heavily emphasizes grinding, allowing players to enhance their gear multiple times with sufficient gold, which can lead to a repetitive experience typical of JRPGs. However, the auto-combat feature alleviates some of the tedium by enabling players to breeze through easier enemies, allowing them to concentrate on more challenging boss battles.
- “This is definitely a game that favors grinding, though the auto-combat feature can help to quickly power through the easy enemies so the player can focus on the tougher boss battles.”
- “Now you can improve your weapon, armor, and ring up to 5 times if you have enough gold (grinding galore).”
- “Basically, you get a generic RPG with much grinding.”
