The gameplay is characterized by strategic, card-based mechanics that can be both fun and challenging, though some players find the pacing and combo mechanics confusing, especially for newcomers. While the game features familiar elements from other titles in the genre, it offers a unique experience with its touhoudex system and appealing art. However, early gameplay can be hindered by the potential loss of valuable cards, making progression feel slow or frustrating.
