The reviews indicate a disappointment in the game's story, with one user expressing a desire for a single-player or co-op story mode, while another criticizes the lack of a compelling narrative, especially given the developers' previous success with storytelling in their earlier title, Mirror. Overall, the absence of a strong story has left players feeling let down.
“In all honesty, I'm very disappointed with this game, considering it's from the developers of Mirror, which has good storytelling and good visuals. Although the gameplay is somewhat redundant, it is well done, and I honestly expected a lot from this game.”
“My hope is that developers can add or make their games still playable, such as making a single player, story mode or co-op mode.”
“No story.”

The music in the game is highly praised, with users appreciating the quality of the soundtrack and considering it a worthwhile purchase. However, the grind required to unlock music and other content through gameplay is seen as tedious, leading some to recommend buying the DLC for immediate access to the music and other exclusive content at a low price. Overall, the music is regarded as a strong point, enhancing the overall experience.
“You are supposed to play these games to get currency to unlock exclusive character art, cosplay shots, music, videos, etc., but the grind is not worth it when the games are so bad, so I recommend you get all the DLC instead; it's really cheap and you get to unlock it all at once, and let me tell you, it's really good stuff!”
“Think of it as paying a very affordable price for cool wallpapers, a whole music album, and a fun time looking at cute girls in cosplay, while supporting the developers of Mirror 2 at the same time.”
