The game features a deep and engaging tactical RPG system with a wide variety of characters and abilities, allowing for extensive strategy and team customization.
The art style, particularly the character designs by Koi-sensei, is adorable and adds a charming aesthetic to the gameplay.
Playing the game has fostered a stronger bond between players, as it provides a fun and interactive way to spend time together, especially for families.

The game is locked at a low resolution of 800x600, which can be frustrating on modern displays and lacks fullscreen functionality.
The user interface and controls are clunky, making navigation and gameplay feel cumbersome and unintuitive.
The story is shallow and often forgettable, serving mainly as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than providing meaningful context or depth.

The story in the game is generally considered simplistic and lighthearted, serving primarily as a framework to connect battles rather than a deep narrative experience. While some players appreciate the cute dialogue and character interactions, many agree that the focus is more on gameplay mechanics than storytelling, with the main story being relatively easy and short. Post-game content offers more challenging scenarios, which players find more engaging than the initial storyline.
- “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.”
- “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... and something confusing about curses that even after finishing the game makes no sense.”

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. Overall, it offers a satisfying tactical experience, particularly for fans of the genre, though it may not meet the expectations of those seeking a more polished presentation or narrative depth.
- “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.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it annoying and lacking excitement, particularly during combat, where it is described as "loli tea time music." While the soundtrack is generally considered decent and cute, it fails to elevate the gameplay experience, leading to feelings of boredom. Overall, players suggest that a more engaging and challenging musical score would enhance the game's appeal.
- “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 original soundtrack is cute.”
- “Basically, if you come here because you enjoy cute characters and strategy, then buy this game.”
- “The music is annoying.”
- “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.”
- “It'd be nice if they could add something a bit more challenging or maybe make the music less sleep-inducing.”

Overall, players find the grinding in the game to be less tedious than in classic Pokémon titles, with levels gained relatively quickly, especially at higher levels. However, after a few hours, the gameplay can become repetitive and grindy, despite the inclusion of a gacha feature that rewards players for grinding.
- “Gameplay is fine for a few hours; after that, it's a bit of a grindy snooze.”
- “+ tons 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.”

Overall, the humor is seen as a blend of amusing and unsettling.
- “The humor in this game is cue and funny.”
