“What I loved the most was the puns between Vivi the ghost and Jaimus the necromancer; the story is well written and really funny to follow!”
“The story starts off pretty standard, but past the initial, all too common 'defeat some bosses to open the seal,' it throws convention out of the window and has you hop across different scenarios, picking up the pace in what I can only describe as a rollercoaster ride of laughs, with many genuinely funny and unexpected moments, excitement at what was coming next, and curiosity at the next challenge to overcome.”

The gameplay is characterized by engaging turn-based battles and a robust critter capturing system, which many players find enjoyable and satisfying, especially as new mechanics and monsters are introduced. However, some users note a potential overabundance of micro mechanics that could complicate the experience, leading to occasional repetitiveness. Overall, the combination of humor, art style, and unique gameplay elements contributes to a positive reception, despite some minor criticisms.
“The turn-based battles as well as the critter capturing and collecting mechanics are all top-notch.”
“Just when I thought it was already cool, more monsters and mechanics appeared and made it even cooler!”
“Once you get the combat mechanics and get used to the sometimes hectic pacing of combat, it feels very satisfying to cast a chain of spells while absorbing all souls as enemies fall.”
“I'm not sure, but I have a feeling there's a bit too many of those micro mechanics that could be cut down to make the game simpler.”
“Sometimes you can feel repetitiveness in the gameplay since you can't do many things in this game, but all these feelings can be tolerated because the total playtime required to finish the game is not too long.”
“The gameplay is partly your typical turn-based RPG.”
