The gameplay is generally considered fun and engaging, featuring a rock-paper-scissors mechanic that adds a strategic layer to the lane battle format. While many players appreciate the easy-to-learn mechanics and the sense of progression, some criticize the gameplay for being repetitive and lacking depth, with a few noting that it can become dull over time. Overall, the game offers a decent experience, especially for those interested in its erotic content, but it may not provide enough challenge for more seasoned gamers.
“The gameplay is pretty enjoyable, the upgrading system is nice and fun, you can replay missions to get stronger which is nice, the girls are just extra and the Japanese voice lines are pretty dope.”
“The story is just sufficient enough to justify the action but the gameplay is fun and there's a definite feeling of progression as the game goes along.”
“Gameplay is fun, the girls look great, the art style is mostly consistent.”
“Unfortunately, the core gameplay is still approximative, repetitive, and dull.”
“Most game mechanics don't work the way they normally do here, so it's just pretty terrible.”
“Also, even though I praise the gameplay and mechanics, it doesn’t have any depth, being easily mastered once you get the hang of which unit to counter enemy units.”

The story has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it shallow, repetitive, and often a "snooze fest," primarily serving as a backdrop for gameplay rather than a compelling narrative. While some appreciate the visual novel format and branching choices, others criticize the linearity and lack of depth, suggesting that the story is not a significant draw for the game. Overall, it is seen as serviceable enough to support the gameplay, but not particularly memorable or engaging.
“The storyline/plot is very good, the art style and characters are beautiful, and the animations for the characters and the 'scenes' are surprisingly nice and smooth. I'm very impressed with this game and I enjoy every second of it.”
“The story is a very well-built one and I would love to see a sequel to this one.”
“I must say that this game has a lot of content and a nice story for the price, and is also a welcome change to the dozens of match 3 and picture puzzle games out there.”
“The story is... well pretty bad.”
“Falling asleep during most of the fights, I decided to just get all my achievements, since the story started getting really boring and tedious to read.”
“The h-scene seems redundant, especially the storyline; while it exists, it really has no value in progressing the story. You can choose whatever you want, and it will get the same results.”
