The gameplay of Omni Link has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that it primarily functions as a visual novel with minimal interactive elements, leading to a feeling of disappointment regarding its depth and engagement.

Additionally, technical issues such as crashes have been reported, but the developer's responsiveness and ongoing improvements have been positively acknowledged.
- “Furthermore, the gameplay portion of the game really helps accent the story.”
- “It fills a niche I've sought after for a while: a good visual novel with equally solid gameplay mechanics.”
- “The art is gorgeous, the story engaging, and the gameplay is satisfying in both depth and challenge.”
- “It was wholly a visual novel with some very minor 'ship movement' gameplay (so minor you couldn't even summon other ships, you just did what you were told which took a grand total of 5 minutes). So the chapter was just an exercise of 'how fast can you read.' I experienced the game twice, just to find out the ending was crap.”

- “Would prefer a little more choice-based interaction to balance out the gameplay.”
