The story in the game is generally considered simplistic and lacking depth, serving primarily as a vehicle to connect battles rather than as a focal point of the experience. While it features cute characters and lighthearted dialogue, many players feel that the narrative is trivial and not particularly engaging, with some opting to skip through it. However, the post-game content is praised for its challenge and depth, providing a more substantial gameplay experience beyond the main story.
- “Moekuri offers 35 story stages with extremely cute dialogue and characters to follow along with, the stages offering great pacing for you to learn the basics of the game.”
- “The story follows the naive adolescent main character as she goes on a quest to save the world and all the people in it, even the villains, because of her utter conviction that friendship conquers all.”
- “Story mode doesn't take more than a few hours but it's a cute, lighthearted story.”
- “The story isn't its strong point; it's quick and to-the-point with not a whole lot of depth.”
- “The story itself is utter fluff – cute girls doing cute things while battling with cute monsters who are also cute girls.”
- “This should already tip you off that the story itself makes little to no sense and is just an excuse to chain together the 25 main story chapters.”

The gameplay is characterized as a solid turn-based strategy RPG with engaging mechanics that require strategic thinking, despite its simplistic graphics and interface. While some players appreciate the depth and variety of skills, others find the overall experience somewhat bare-bones and repetitive after a few hours. The game is praised for its tactical elements and class system, but many reviewers suggest that improvements in presentation and additional gameplay features could enhance the overall experience.
- “Unsurpassed turn-based strategy RPG gameplay, well worth the time of any fan of the genre.”
- “The art is adorable, the characters are adorable, the gameplay is engaging and requires actual strategy and thinking. The capture mechanic is neither too difficult nor too easy, and the class system for your character makes an actual difference in how you play your battles.”
- “A great tactical RPG with easy-to-understand mechanics but deep strategy.”
- “A very barebones game, both in terms of presentation (one look at the map shows the absolute lack of effort put into it) and gameplay.”
- “Let's be clear here, on the surface, this game is a cheap SRPG with basic assets, controls, and gameplay... if you're expecting something flashy like Disgaea, you might be slightly disappointed.”
- “Gameplay is fine for a few hours, after that it's a bit of a grindy snooze.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players finding the minimalist art style and simple terrain graphics off-putting, though some appreciate the chibi artwork and character designs. While the visuals may appeal to fans of Japanese pop culture, others criticize the lack of detail, such as the absence of character animations and low resolution (800x600). Overall, the graphics are seen as a significant drawback, but the gameplay and voice acting are often praised, suggesting that the visuals may not detract from the overall experience for some players.
- “Cute game, love the siren artwork.”
- “There's also a fair amount of work that goes into each one, with every single creature and character having its own artwork and voice-actor.”
- “The art... who can resist Koi-sensei's art style?”
- “A big complaint (everyone seems to have) is with the graphics.”
- “The graphics are...very minimalist.”
- “However, the graphics cannot be changed from 800x600.”

The music in the game is generally described as decent but often annoying and uninspiring, with some players finding it boring and sleep-inducing, particularly during combat. The soundtrack lacks excitement, with only one memorable track noted, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction among players who expected more engaging music to complement the gameplay. Overall, while the music fits the game's cute aesthetic, it fails to enhance the experience significantly.
- “It'd be nice if they could add something a bit more challenging or maybe make the music less sleep-inducing.”
- “Well, it's a cute game SRPG. If you like it and enjoy cute characters, it's for you. The maps are not very detailed, but the OST is cute.”
- “The combat music could use some excitement; it feels more like loli tea time music rather than something that enhances the gameplay experience.”
- “The music is annoying.”
- “It'd be nice if they could add something a bit more challenging or maybe make the music less sleep inducing.”
- “After pampering my now level 50 loli party, I took on the story and just felt utterly bored of it all. Combat was as it always has been, but I can't feel like I need to waste my time when the combat music is replaced with loli tea time music. Not even a slightly exciting music track aside from one I heard once.”
grinding

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be less tedious than in older Pokémon titles, with levels gained quickly, especially at higher levels. However, after a few hours, the gameplay can become repetitive and feel like a grind. The inclusion of a gacha feature adds a layer of excitement to the grinding process by offering random monster rewards.
- “Gameplay is fine for a few hours; after that, it's a bit of a grindy snooze.”
- “+ tonnes of grinding, leveling, that sort of thing.”
- “It's also worth noting that levels are gained quickly, unless you're grinding against level 10s when you're level 49 (the cap is 50), so it's not hard to get a new creature ready for combat.”

The humor in the game is described as a mix of hilarious and cringe-worthy elements, particularly in character designs that some find amusing while others view as disturbing, especially given the youthful appearance of many characters. Players appreciate the comedic potential in character choices, like selecting a necromancer for its inherent absurdity.
- “I picked necromancer because I thought it would be funny.”
- “Most of them are kids too, which is somewhere between disturbing and funny.”
- “As for the designs... as someone who doesn't care for moe, I personally find that the designs are roughly 1/3 hilarious, cringe, and decent.”
