The story of the game is generally well-received, featuring a compelling narrative about a witch with amnesia navigating a beautifully crafted storybook world alongside her paper companion. While some players found the pacing and execution inconsistent, many appreciated the emotional depth, character development, and engaging dialogue, which is enhanced by strong voice acting. Overall, the game is praised for its unique storytelling approach, despite some moments that may not resonate with all audiences.
- “The story introduces you to a young woman named Shiroha who is trapped in this fever dream-like world where she lost all of her memories. She later meets a sheet of paper named Shiori, who is apparently her dad and sidekick; they need to find a way to escape from this world.”
- “A heartwarming story of a daughter and her father packed in wrist-wrecking action with an amazing art style.”
- “This game is exceptional in almost every regard, mechanically, aesthetically, boss fights are all fire, it even has a surprisingly emotional story for this kind of game.”
- “The story is an absolute nothing sandwich, but the presentation of it is top notch, incorporating aspects of papercraft materials, with nice, small touches like the various narrators that introduce a stage, or how each level opens with a kamishibai board folding out.”
- “To keep it short, I liked the story and the plot, but hated the execution of the story.”
- “The story lost me a bit in the final act because it kinda came out of left field, but the overall theme is good and it ended on a great note.”

The gameplay is a fast-paced and engaging hack-and-slash experience that combines familiar mechanics with innovative features, such as the directional slash and unique character abilities. While the combat is generally fun and responsive, some players noted issues with boss mechanics and the clash system, which can detract from the overall experience. The game balances storytelling with action, offering a visually appealing and well-paced adventure that many players found enjoyable and worth recommending.
- “The gameplay has much more depth than I thought at first, but everything is introduced at the right pace to make sure the player isn't overwhelmed.”
- “I like the directional slash mechanic, which requires certain enemies to be dealt with using a slash from a specific orientation, either horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, requiring you to get into a specific position before unleashing your homing attack.”
- “Gameplay is fast and responsive, played this on hard and it is smartly balanced with reduced healing from items and somewhat limited resources.”
- “Tons of dialogue with gameplay that consists of mashing the attack and special attack button (square + R2).”
- “The bosses range from great to incredibly tedious and all suffer from the clash mechanic giving fights up to 20 seconds of waiting for free damage tied to flashy animations.”
- “I had more issues with the bosses than the stage levels, specifically early on due to the cryptic gameplay mechanics related to the cut direction barriers that are difficult to spot when first playing the game.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising the unique piano compositions that align well with the game's aesthetic. However, players expressed frustration over the repetitive nature of the astral transformation tracks, which replace the stage-specific music, leading to a less enjoyable experience during prolonged gameplay. While some vocal tracks during power-ups are highlighted as standout moments, overall, the soundtrack is seen as a step down compared to the visuals and gameplay.
- “The music was also quite unique with all being only played by a piano!”
- “I really loved the piano music by Luna Umegaki; it was one of the main things that got me to buy the game.”
- “Absolutely great soundtrack!”
- “Once you activate an astral, the game replaces the music with the chosen astral, and while it is a super fun feature at the start, it gets less fun when you are permanently in astral form, because it's just so easy to enter and you never hear the stage's piano theme.”
- “I might be in the minority, but I, for one, am not a fan of the usual J-pop music in Inti's games. I feel like being forced to listen to the same astral-specific songs over and over again, instead of the more theme-appropriate stage background music, really defies the point of having stage-specific music at all.”
- “Most of the music is pretty forgettable and weak.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their stunning, storybook-like aesthetic, characterized by a unique papercraft style and vibrant character designs that reflect the signature of Inti Creates. Reviewers highlight the incredible visuals and level design, which enhance the overall experience, despite some noting that the anime-inspired art may not appeal to everyone. Overall, the art style is considered a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's charm and emotional depth.
- “The visuals are by far absolutely incredible, playing out in a storybook setting with a witch suffering from amnesia and trying to regain her memories.”
- “Visuals: the game definitely looks pretty from the level design to the characters and transformation mechanics.”
- “Unfortunately, the usual Inti suspects are here, with a strong focus on what people would describe as 'anime aesthetics' and designs that won't appeal to a more mainstream audience. This is a real shame because Majogami is one of Inti's stronger offerings out of their catalog.”
- “Music feels like a step down for the most part, in my opinion, but visuals certainly carry this game a lot.”
- “The whole papercraft aesthetic is incredibly unique, and it reminds me of games like Little Big Planet at times.”

- “If you can put aside Inti's questionable character designs, and their need to zoom in excessively on every character during a super move, you'll probably have a pretty good time.”
