  • Beautiful and unique watercolor art style with impressive Live2D animations and character designs.
  • Exceptional soundtrack featuring high-quality music tracks (laments) for each character in both English and Japanese, considered one of the best in gaming.
  • Casual and relaxing AFK gameplay suitable for players who enjoy idle progression and minimal daily time investment.
  • Gameplay is very simplistic and repetitive, with mainly auto-battling and minimal interactivity, often described as a glorified music player rather than a full game.
  • Highly grindy progression system requiring a large number of duplicate characters and resources, leading to slow advancement especially without spending money.
  • Pay-to-win elements and gacha system are aggressive and frustrating, with poor pity mechanics and significant pressure to spend to remain competitive.
  • music

    The music in this game is universally praised as its standout feature, featuring high-quality, emotionally resonant tracks for each character with both English and Japanese versions. The soundtrack, coupled with beautiful art, creates a unique and immersive atmosphere, often making the game feel more like a music player or art viewer than a traditional idle gacha RPG. Players frequently express that the music alone justifies playing or continuing to engage with the game, despite its otherwise simple or lacking gameplay.

    • “The art style, music, and overall atmosphere are honestly amazing, giving the game a unique emotional vibe compared to most gacha RPGs.”
    • “Every character has their own uniquely composed song that matches their personality and backstory, deepening the connection and providing more intimate storytelling.”
    • “Good sound design paired with the most incredible OST I’ve heard in a gacha game, with each character having an incredible song in both English and Japanese versions.”
    • “The combination of the art and music can mislead you into expecting a lot more.”
    • “Music is in loop so gets boring very fast.”
    • “But if your intent is just to sit back and click something and listen to decent music with pretty art, this is your game. Just don't expect to really progress once you've reached a point (a low point at that).”
  • story

    The story is generally considered minimal, often limited to a strong prologue and fragmented character backstories delivered through voice-acted memories, with little continuation in the main questline. While praised for its emotional depth, dark themes, and integration with music and art, many find the overall narrative lacking or shallow, making it more appealing to players interested in lore and character-driven tales rather than a traditional, cohesive storyline.

    • “Definitely recommending if you are more attached to lore and complex storytelling with some darker thematic elements.”
    • “Every character has their own story which you can read through or let the character tell it themselves as it’s all voice acted in both English and Japanese.”
    • “The best thing about this game for me is each heroine has their own uniquely composed song that matches their character so much, while also providing more in-depth story about their past or their personality, making us more intimate with the characters.”
    • “- no story”
    • “Story is lacking after the prologue which is disappointing.”
    • “There was so much potential in this but after the opening chapter the story just stops and the gameplay is set your waifus and press skip”

    The gameplay is predominantly simple, idle, and auto-battle focused, relying heavily on RNG and minimal player interaction, which makes it relaxing but often unengaging or repetitive. While some appreciate its casual, grind-friendly nature and strategic team-building elements, many criticize the lack of depth, challenge, and meaningful mechanics compared to other gacha games. The game's strength lies more in its music, art, and storytelling than in its gameplay experience.

    • “The gameplay is pretty simple and idle-focused, but if you enjoy relaxing progression games with great character presentation and soundtrack, it’s easy to get into for casual sessions.”
    • “Activates/gameplay 6/10 – there is a lot to do to keep you engaged, but majority is the same thing in a different area, and events and their frequency provide enough to keep the game from becoming stale.”
    • “While the gameplay itself is relatively simple, the immersive storytelling, emotional depth, and artistic presentation make Memento Mori a standout title in the genre.”
    • “There’s like no gameplay even for an autobattler.”
    • “Absolutely non-substantial braindead auto "gameplay", if even that.”
    • “The poor gameplay makes it almost impossible for Memento Mori to retain other players, making it one that is quite selective in its audience.”
  • graphics

    The game's graphics receive widespread praise for its unique, beautiful watercolor and medieval-inspired art style, complemented by excellent animations and character designs. Coupled with top-notch music and voice acting, the visuals create an immersive and emotionally engaging atmosphere that stands out in the gacha RPG genre. However, some users find the blurry art style confusing and feel that the visual appeal can’t fully compensate for gameplay shortcomings.

    • “The art style, music, and overall atmosphere in this game are honestly amazing and give it a really unique emotional vibe compared to most gacha RPGs.”
    • “The art style is beautiful and refreshing, it has amazing details that surprised me going in to this.”
    • “I will say that the visuals, soundtrack, story, animations, characters, and voice acting are staggeringly beautiful.”
    • “The turn-based combat is just you watching your character's artwork zip across the screen as you listen to the same lines repeated over and over.”
    • “I feel bad not recommending this because it's definitely not the most offensive gacha, even though I do find there's more of an onus on spending here, which… I mean, you're just paying for some Live2D artwork and a few voice lines.”
    • “The artwork is to be cherished but there just is too little game and far too much chasing orange dots in convoluted menus to be able to pay for progress that you should be getting by playing a game, not by reward dot clicking.”

    The game delivers a unique emotional experience through its stunning art style, immersive music, and heartfelt, often dark storytelling. While the narrative may be somewhat lean, the character stories are emotionally impactful and deeply moving, setting it apart within the gacha RPG genre.

    • “The art style, music, and overall atmosphere in this game are honestly amazing and give it a really unique emotional vibe compared to most gacha RPGs.”
    • “If you actually read or listen to the stories, they are dark and most often brutal and heartbreaking.”
    • “While the gameplay itself is relatively simple, the immersive storytelling, emotional depth, and artistic presentation make Memento Mori a standout title in the genre.”

    Grinding in the game is notably extensive and slow-paced, especially for free-to-play players, with a level-up system that can become tedious over time. Despite this, the game’s automatic combat and the option to speed up battles help ease the grind, making it suitable for those who enjoy a less intense, more methodical progression.

    • “Been playing for 1-2 years even though I was inactive for months; honestly, it's really grindy and doesn't have an actual combat system. It's all automatic, you can skip ahead or watch it run at 4x speed, and what affects the combat is the stats you put on your characters.”
    • “The leveling system feels really grindy, to the point where it can feel more tedious than rewarding.”
    • “Level-up system is extremely grindy after a point.”
  • monetization

    The game's monetization is heavily criticized as a cash grab, requiring multiple copies of units and long grind times for essential materials that effectively push players toward spending real money. Additionally, the presence of pervasive in-game ads and store shortcuts further detracts from the experience.

    • “It is a gacha game, but not a well done one. It is a ridiculous cash grab where you are required to get multiple copies of the same unit because each extra copy increases the maximum level of your units.”
    • “It was fun for speed running until level 100+ but then it's impossible to get stronger without some specific materials which take a long time to obtain, making you buy with real money. It tends to be a cash grab unless you wait months and months to get resources.”
    • “Edit: Just now noticed how the Steam store page conveniently doesn't have a screenshot of the home screen that is full of ads and shortcuts to things in their store.”
  • atmosphere

    The game's unique watercolor art style, music, and melancholic tone create an emotionally engaging atmosphere that sets it apart from typical gacha RPGs, making it especially appealing to fans of narrative-driven experiences.

    • “The art style, music, and overall atmosphere in this game are honestly amazing and give it a really unique emotional vibe compared to most gacha RPGs.”
    • “If you love narrative-driven RPGs with a melancholic atmosphere, this game is definitely worth trying.”
    • “I love the watercolor style for the character; it matches the game's overall atmosphere.”
  • character development

    The character development is praised for its beautiful and appealing character designs that complement the grim and interesting story, enhanced by a fitting aesthetic and animation style.

    • “Love the music, interesting and grim story, lovely character designs and the gameplay is simple to learn and deal with”
    • “Awesome soundtrack, doing the daily things is pretty easy, character designs are beautiful too”
    • “Aesthetically, the art style, character designs, and animation look beautiful.”

    The game is well-optimized across platforms, running smoothly on Android without high memory usage and offering a stable, customizable PC client with no reported issues.

    • “I've been playing since it became available on Android in 2022, and it runs smoothly without taking up much memory.”
    • “The PC client is well optimized, has several basic settings, and I haven't encountered any issues so far.”
  • humor

    Users find the humor in the game's exaggerated and unbalanced power scaling of event mobs amusing, especially compared to the more balanced scaling of normal enemies. This unexpected disparity adds a comedic element to the gameplay experience.
