The game offers high replayability due to the vast selection of units available from the start, allowing players to experiment with various party combinations. Each unit's unique skills and the ability to learn from different archetypes enhance the depth of gameplay, encouraging multiple playthroughs.
“Each unit has their own unique skill, and as you level them up, they pull skills they can learn from a pool of two different archetypes (e.g., warrior/smasher, ranger/musketeer, tank/juggernaut, etc.), further adding to the replay value.”
“There are a ridiculous amount of units to pick from, most of which are unlocked from the start, providing a lot of replayability as you experiment with different parties.”

Players appreciate grindy games but express frustration with the excessive time required to earn rewards, particularly in auto battlers where the midgame becomes tedious as they grind for materials to upgrade units. This can lead to a sense of dissatisfaction when progress feels slow and unrewarding.
“I'm a fan of grindy games, but to spend 2-3 hours on a successful run and not even get enough crystals for a single unlock hurts a bit.”
