The gameplay is a blend of familiar mechanics reminiscent of the Mystery Dungeon series, offering a mix of dungeon exploration and character interactions. While some players find it engaging and fun, others criticize it for being simplistic and repetitive, with a few noting the punishing nature of equipment loss upon death. Overall, the game features charming graphics and a variety of content, but opinions on its depth and excitement vary significantly.
“It's got great gameplay, charming graphics, and an overall fun experience.”
“This is an absolutely stunning JRPG game filled with fun gameplay, a captivating storyline, beautiful artwork, great soundtrack, and more.”
“It is hours of nonstop fun, and there is so much to do in the game that even after hours of gameplay, I feel like I have only just begun to scratch the surface of the content this great game has to offer.”
“The gameplay is just a carbon copy of Mystery Dungeon in every possible way.”
“I love the protagonist and the squad but loathe the gameplay... but at least with TOB, I don't feel the same as I go on... and there are no flashy colors to hold my interest during a very mundane gameplay session of press B to attack.”
“I really did... but I can't seem to muster the energy to get through the lackluster gameplay for the Monster Musume/HS of the Dead level of outlandish ecchi.”

The story aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it shallow and unengaging, while others appreciate its charm and character development. Many agree that the narrative is not the main draw, often likening it to typical JRPG tropes, yet some still find enjoyment in the overall experience and humor. Overall, the story is seen as a decent backdrop to the fun gameplay, though it may not captivate all players.
“This is an absolutely stunning JRPG game filled with fun gameplay, a captivating storyline, beautiful artwork, great soundtrack, and more.”
“The story follows Hinata, a student who recently transfers to Belles Fleur Academy, who embarks on a quest to save the garden of their academy that has been corrupted by unknown forces.”
“There is plenty of content to justify the full price; a long 50+ hour story if you plan on doing any grinding via gardening and synthesizing, 3 extremely punishing postgame dungeons, and lots of challenges in the form of character-specific dungeons and trials.”
“The story isn't engaging.”
“Story-wise, I didn't even waste a second trying to grasp where this is going.”
“It's your typical 'group-of-friendship-is-magic-high-school-girls-doing-dungeon-crawler-stuff-beating-bad-people-saving-the-world' kind of JRPG experience, so let's be real, the story is not the main point in this game.”
