The game's story is generally well-received, praised for its depth, character development, and emotional impact, particularly highlighting the protagonist, Princess Eris. Players appreciate the non-linear narrative with multiple paths and endings, though some find the overall plot to be somewhat generic or short. While the storytelling is engaging, it often requires exploration to progress, which can be a mixed experience for players.
“The best part about the game is the story, the characters, and the best and emotional ending that I've gotten. My most favorite character is Princess Eris herself because she's been through a lot from beginning to end, even after the ending I got.”
“This RPG game definitely has replay value with all the directions of routes the storyline goes, has legendary equipment, hidden secrets, recruitable/missable characters, multiple endings, easter eggs, and rare drops.”
“Fantastic and well-written coming-of-age story.”
“Now there are some cutscenes and dialogues that tell you where certain events will happen, but a lot of times you are forced to explore every map just to proceed the storyline.”
“Definitely not a point A to point B simple kind of game, but the story itself is really short when you know how to achieve the good end route.”
“The story is pretty standard.”

The gameplay is initially overwhelming due to numerous mechanics, but it improves significantly as players gain understanding, revealing unique and open-ended elements that set it apart from typical RPGs. While some mechanics may feel outdated, the overall experience is solid, with a good balance of art, story, and gameplay, making it a worthwhile endeavor for those who appreciate gameplay-focused titles.
“This is a doujin game where you mostly play for the gameplay more than anything; the other aspects leave much to be desired, but the gameplay is pretty decent for what it is.”
“Compared to other RPGs, there are actually a lot of unique aspects to it, and I think this is the game's biggest positive. It's pretty open-ended in both its gameplay mechanics and the flow of the story.”
“The RPG mechanics are a little more interesting than your typical RPG Maker game.”
“This is the type of game that starts horrible (too many game mechanics, no clue what you need to do) but the better you understand everything, the better the game gets!”
“As far as gameplay, there are no experience points.”
“I have a minor gripe about how the mechanics were introduced after you start the game, but you're forced to select your character stats prior to understanding how everything works.”

“High-quality artwork, in a style reminiscent of some of the older (pre-Rorona) Atelier games.”
“I'd recommend this to those who like ero-RPGs and this game's art style.”
“That game felt like a complete bore and I didn't feel for any of the characters despite the decent art style.”

Players find the grinding aspect tedious, as the necessity to return to town for MP/SP restoration and potion purchases disrupts the flow of combat and prolongs the overall gameplay experience.

“The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
“I find myself spending more time grinding for levels than actually enjoying the story or gameplay.”
