The gameplay has been described as a mix of unique concepts and frustrating mechanics, with a battle system that includes mid-battle "battle sex" elements, which can detract from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the effort and artistic appeal, the gameplay loop can become repetitive and lacks depth, leading to a generally mediocre reception. Overall, it shows potential but struggles to deliver a consistently engaging experience.
- “I like the concept, and the art is appealing, but the gameplay can be frustrating at times.”
- “Well, I would say this game is actually 4 out of 10 + 1 point because some parts have a unique gameplay (not amazing and gets boring sadly, but it's nice to see something new) and +1 for the effort put into the game (as I've played worse RPG makers) = I would try another game from this dev (even if I don't expect something amazing).”
- “It feels like an attempt at a new idea for combat mechanics that just didn't work out.”
