The game's story is characterized as silly and lighthearted, featuring a comedic premise where a high school student becomes a "warrior of love" to save humanity from an invasion of flying panties. While some players found the narrative entertaining and humorous, others criticized it for being short, predictable, and lacking depth, often playing primarily for achievements rather than the story itself. Overall, the writing and character interactions provide a quirky charm, but the brevity and simplicity of the plot leave much to be desired.
“An epic story of a desperate struggle to save the world with unique amazing mechanics.”
“The story is filled with comedic elements and nonsensical dialogue, creating a lighthearted atmosphere that will keep you laughing from start to finish.”
“The story mode tells the story of a female high school student, Yurika, who becomes a 'love warrior' saving humanity.”
“The story is boring and predictable; I only kept playing because I wanted the achievements (it wasn't worth it). The fights are very bad and unfair; you can't even defend yourself, and it's almost impossible not to die against the same panties you're using.”
“Pretty poor story; the cutscenes are also incredibly subpar (even at this price point), and you're honestly better off just skipping them.”
“The story has little substance, but the gameplay is what provides the bulk of the entertainment.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it linear and repetitive, relying heavily on basic attack mechanics, while others appreciate its engaging and humorous elements. The combat system, though occasionally clunky, offers a blend of close and ranged options, and the vibrant visuals and energetic music enhance the overall experience.

“The gameplay is fast but tight, just like a good pair of panties.”
“The game’s energetic music and vibrant visuals complement the fast-paced gameplay, making every battle an exhilarating experience.”
“Gameplay: you fly around as a panty and shoot other panties, each panty has their own special abilities, one shoots a boomerang, another shoots cannon shots, another shoots a grappling hook, etc. Very creative!”
“The gameplay is basically keep moving, now press 2 and mash left click to attack and now you've run out of stamina press 3 and mash left click until you run out of stamina then press 2 again and occasionally press 1 and mash left click.”
“The game mechanics are incredibly clunky and cumbersome.”
“Shit gameplay”
