“The gameplay is really smooth and so much fun once you get a hang of it.”
“The rogue-like aspect makes the actual gameplay much more engaging and replayable when compared to other mobile games.”
“Gameplay is fun and creative.”
“Gameplay is also quite boring, being an autobattler and all.”
“Overall nice game but it is by far one of the most boring gameplay experiences I've ever had.”
“Honestly, by far the closest to being the best gacha game I ever played, almost everything is perfect, but man that gameplay is just boring as hell. I got hooked for 1 day but that's it; usually, I can't complain much about one aspect of a game, but damn, the gameplay is just so tedious that it's hard for me to play naturally.”

The story in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its logical structure, engaging characters, and rich lore. However, some find it overly wordy and heavy on text, lacking voice acting, which can detract from the experience. Overall, while the narrative is compelling and immersive, it may require a significant time investment to fully appreciate.
“The story is logical and simple yet very well developed, unlike many games of this type, and it does not contradict itself or create veering story paths that delude the plot.”
“The story and characters seem very cohesive and interesting (less like a mobile game story and more like an actual novel or movie).”
“The story is well designed and well told.”
“The only thing that made me quit the game is the storyline (not a fan of reading long text, and the background music makes the reader sleepy).”
“The story is confusing; please move on from the GFL storytelling style already.”
“Worst game, no voice over so you need to read every text in the story, and it's trash anyways. Most boring game in the world; don't bother to download.”

“The only thing that made me quit the game is the storyline (not a fan of reading long text, and the background music makes the reader sleepy).”
“But the UI/UX feels so wrong, the OST is not good, the story is trash with plenty of text and without any voiceover, almost like a figure fantasy copycat but worse, and lastly, the battlefield/gameplay is kinda okay but I really cannot enjoy even just a slight. I play plenty of gacha games already and this is one of the easy skip games, but nice opening animation you got there.”

“But can y'all do something about the optimization?”
“There are some wonderful things in the game such as background art and game performance, but the gameplay becomes not interesting for me quickly, and the characters, surprisingly, do not feel like they have much weight and feel pretty lifeless (friendly to the lore I suppose).”

The one thing this game still had going for it was it being reasonable and acceptable in regards to such things... now they have thrown away even their ethical values, in favor of being (undoubtedly) syndicate run and owned.”
