The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their stunning visuals, beautiful character designs, and smooth animations, often described as top-notch or even "AAA" quality for a mobile game. Many players appreciate the art style and the overall aesthetic, noting that the graphics do not significantly drain device performance, although some report issues with crashes and lag, particularly on lower-end devices. Overall, the game's graphics are a major highlight, contributing to an engaging and visually appealing experience.
“Beautiful visuals and attractive characters.”
“Graphics are fantastic, gameplay is fun and addicting, and character models are all stunning.”
“The graphics are absolutely stunning and the story is good.”
“Graphics are poop, can't skip skill animations, at least you can skip tutorials though... I probably pulled the best team setup except for one character as soon as I started, now I just autobattle, and the game is quickly becoming boring, and I really don't feel like farming for hours to get half decent gear in such a slog of a combat system.”
“Graphics is bad, special effects are poor, performance on high-end Android smartphones could be better.”
“I'd like to give it 2 stars for now because the game keeps on crashing and overheating my phone even at the lowest graphic settings.”

The gameplay of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its smooth mechanics and engaging turn-based combat reminiscent of titles like Epic Seven. While the graphics and character designs are praised, some users find the gameplay repetitive and slow, particularly due to unskippable animations and grindy mechanics. Overall, the game offers a mix of fun and frustration, with a solid foundation but room for improvement in pacing and user experience.
“It's epic 7 but with some new gameplay mechanics to spice things up.”
“The gameplay itself is quite cool (for a turn-based game) with awesome animations.”
“Gameplay is balanced and you can find new ways to chain with different units (awesome btw).”
“7GB wasted on nothing but graphics and voice acting, while the gameplay is just a boring RPG.”
“The gameplay is boring, the UI is cluttered, unnecessary elements, and game-breaking bugs along with consistent crashes.”
“The repetitive attack cutscenes with every attack cannot be skipped, leading to a ton of wasted time, and the gameplay itself is bland repetition: n+1 enemy with a bigger number than the last.”

The reviews indicate that the game is excessively grindy, with many players expressing frustration over the tediousness of farming for resources, limited daily attempts, and low drop rates for desired items. While some appreciate the gameplay and character design, the overall sentiment is that the grinding mechanics detract from the enjoyment, making progression feel slow and often unfulfilling. Players also note that the gacha system exacerbates the grind, as acquiring new characters and upgrades requires significant time investment or spending money.
“The game is good but the farming for weapons is a bit frustrating.”
“The grinding is annoying as well.”
“Extremely low rate for everything, from character banners to equipment farming, and they barely give you an adequate amount of materials that are worth the time you spent farming for it.”

Overall, character development in the game is highly praised, with many reviewers highlighting the stunning character designs, animations, and voice acting as standout features. While some players appreciate the depth of the characters and their stories, others feel that the designs can sometimes lack uniqueness or depth, leading to mixed feelings about attachment to the characters. Despite these critiques, the consensus is that the character design is a major strength of the game, contributing significantly to its appeal.
“The character design and gameplay are great, and the in-game currency is pretty generous.”
“This game is unbelievable! Amazing graphics, beautiful character design, interesting gameplay. I can't wait for the next updates; it's worth your time. A lot of love is put into this game.”
“Great character designs and love the voice actors for them.”
“The character designs are questionable in quality, ranging from outbursts of creativity to blank slates for eye candy.”
“What was once a game with a few flaws has turned into an unbalanced mess where power scales mean literally nothing as 70k power routinely beats 140k power. Resources are too few to grant any way to overcome what weaknesses you currently have and locks you into singular character development despite having most of the heroes on the active roster.”
“I want to like it, but the character design is a little bland to me, so I don't have much of an attachment to them.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to excessive microtransactions, misleading advertisements, and a heavy reliance on ads for in-game resources. Users report frustratingly low rates for obtaining characters and a slow progression system that pushes players towards spending money to advance. Overall, the game is perceived as prioritizing profit over player experience, with many feeling that the monetization tactics detract from the enjoyment of gameplay.
“There's also in-game purchases, but it's honestly not that needed unless you want to level up faster.”
“At launch, it struck a decent power balance for microtransactions, and you could have success in PvP as a free-to-play player.”
“Also thankful there are no ads.”
“This game is almost a total joke. The graphics are good and the animations are clean, but that's it. Combat is either you stomp or get stomped. For these events, you can't get most of the things from the shop without spending money or praying to God you have the very specific heroes you need to get more drops. The absolute worst problem is the hero rates; I have summoned 9 times in a row, all x10, and didn't get a single 3-star. This game is quite literally a cash grab. Save your time from this.”
“Game is absolutely loaded with microtransactions, more so than most other games I have tried.”
“All in all, this is just another cash grabbing pay-to-win gacha game.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews.

“From a performance standpoint, the game has been running smoothly without any glitches.”
“The combat is so fun, the systems are so intuitive, the characters are amazing, and the developers are super generous with the summon systems and progression. The performance is well optimized, making it an absolutely amazing game that I would recommend over any other turn-based gacha game.”
“Very good graphics, yet it's also highly optimized for low-end devices.”
“Although I do have one request and that's to fix the optimization on the phone, it's very laggy and crashes constantly for lower-end phones.”
“Game is poorly optimized; it is a 50/50 just getting past the login screen.”
“The game seriously needs optimization due to battery usage currently being extremely high; just playing 2 hours consumed 73% battery power after the latest update, it's getting worse than before.”

“The game runs great and has pretty good 3D graphics.”
“My phone Moto G40 Fusion runs all games smoothly, and this game runs at 60 FPS, but it keeps restarting in the middle of fights. It's kind of irritating. Can you make a stable version for our phones too, please?”
“The problem comes in when the game freezes every 10-20 minutes.”
“The game soft crashes a lot, because I leave the app, come back and it freezes on a screen where none of your taps or any interaction registers, prompting a restart of the app.”
“Too bad I only get 5-10 minutes of play before it freezes up and crashes.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with players noting both amusing bugs and quirky character personalities that can be either annoyingly funny or genuinely entertaining. While some find the humor in the game's quirks and character interactions enjoyable, others feel that the humor is overshadowed by gameplay frustrations and paywalls. Overall, the comedic elements contribute to a lighthearted experience, despite some inconsistencies.
“It's a pretty good game that actually caught my eye and made me want to complete it. There are quite a few funny bugs as a beginner, such as not being able to press enter in the adventure level during the tutorial. The gameplay is not laggy, but when I turned into the lobby, it lagged suddenly. Excluding that, it's a game that's a must-play, and I'm ready to adventure and explore the storyline of this eye-catching game.”
“I found something funny; there is a comment about a guy having issues on a high-end smartphone. I use a Honor X8A, and it runs perfectly, haha.”
“The characters are either so annoying that they become funny, or they are just plain funny in their own right.”
