The game's story is generally viewed as enjoyable but notably short, with most players completing it in around 3-4 hours. Many reviewers express disappointment over the abrupt ending and the linear progression, which lacks side quests or character development, leaving the narrative feeling incomplete. Despite its simplicity, the story has potential for expansion, and some players hope for a sequel to continue the plot.
- “The game is something of a superhero origin story in that only a portion of the evil organization is defeated within the game, allowing for more expansions (not even necessarily in sequel games, but possibly doujins or written works by the character's respective creators).”
- “The voice acting is good and the story is fun but could've used some open-world elements to flesh it out with more gameplay.”
- “As of this time of review (Aug 25, 2021) there isn't anything announced, but the plot of the game seems to suggest there is more content down the road.”
- “I just can't recommend this game because it's too short (around 4 hours to do 100%), has no free time (just dungeon time) and worse of all: despite beating the last story boss, the story is incomplete.”
- “It's just a fully linear story, where you fight the same enemies over and over until you get to the bosses to advance the story.”
- “- abrupt story ending”

The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and a lack of balance, leading to frustrating combat that often feels more reliant on luck than skill.

- “The gameplay in this one is surprisingly an extra step more complex than I would expect.”
- “Gameplay: around 4 hours going for everything, which is not too much to do.”
- “Gameplay is simple and combat annoying, and the scenes aren't even good.”
- “I can only assume the dev had no clue of how to properly balance the game, so they instead introduce other mechanics that make battles (even basic mobs) more a contest of luck than skill (or stats).”
- “- gameplay can be annoying & grindy”
