The gameplay is characterized by a rich variety of mechanics and a satisfying loop of combat, loot collection, and gear customization, appealing particularly to fans of incremental and semi-idle games. While the game offers extensive content and opportunities for min-maxing and theorycrafting, some players find the grinding aspect heavy and the overall experience can become repetitive over time. Despite minor UI bugs, the engaging mechanics and thoughtful design contribute to a fun and relaxing gameplay experience, though some players express a desire for more direction and variety in future updates.
- “Tons of mechanics to explore, builds to theorycraft, synergies to try out, etc. If you enjoy min-maxing or theorycrafting, grinding, and the general gameplay of incremental/semi-idle games, then this game is a no-brainer.”
- “The simple loop of 'kill enemy, get loot, equip loot, kill enemy, get loot' is very enjoyable, especially since that loop is presented in different ways as you progress through the game and start unlocking new mechanics which spice things up as you go along.”
- “Great gameplay loop; it seems this game already has a considerable amount of content; the UI and art are all very nice and clean.”
- “Past that, the constant scaling of everything relative to your own level makes the whole gameplay loop pointless, and your only real goal is basically sitting all your parties overnight in specific areas in the hopes to get multiple copies of a specific piece of gear to beat content that will not have any significant reward, and it's really all samey past the first few hours.”
- “The whole game is basically just a mechanics-stacking dump with no clear or even instinctive direction as to what would effectively work and what wouldn't.”
- “Obligatory criticism: holy crap there's so many 'mechanics' in this game.”

The story in the game is primarily delivered through a tutorial system that integrates gameplay mechanics, but many players find it to be the least enjoyable aspect, often feeling it can be skipped for more immediate gameplay. While there is a deep storyline, it lacks engagement and fails to provide a compelling narrative experience, leading to disappointment among players who were hoping for a richer story. Overall, the narrative feels underdeveloped and does not significantly enhance the gameplay experience.
- “Fear not though because there is a deep storyline which assists with identifying the various functions of the squares.”
- “It really works seamlessly to weave the mechanics of the gameplay directly into the storyline.”
- “I really enjoy manga where they are in a guild and they are ranked and they go on missions and I have wanted a game that I can play as a management sim of adventurers.”
- “The squares in the game are confusing, and the story is the least pleasurable experience.”
- “I felt the story was the least pleasurable experience and it can be skipped for players who need more immediate access to pleasure activities.”

The grinding aspect of the game is described as both engaging and tedious, particularly in the late game where it becomes time-consuming to upgrade gear and manage multiple characters. While the mechanics allow for multitasking and theorycrafting, many players find the grind heavy and repetitive, especially when managing multiple teams and farming for materials. Overall, the game appeals to those who enjoy incremental and idle gameplay, but the extensive grinding may deter some players.
- “The early game and early end-game is pretty fun, creating characters, unlocking upgrades and equipping each character, trying to upgrade their DPS as much as possible, then it slows down a bit and you need to focus on upgrading each piece of equipment each of your characters have, which can be tedious and time-consuming.”
- “Pretty fun and rewarding up until level 100, then it becomes a lot slower and more tedious.”
- “It becomes tedious very fast when you have to store/upgrade/shape 15 individual heroes (5 teams to manage).”
