Overall, the game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many users reporting poor performance and inconsistent frame rates regardless of settings. While some players with higher-end systems have not experienced issues, the general consensus is that optimization needs substantial improvement to enhance gameplay and performance.

“My primary issues with it boil down to enemy speed, control scheme, and optimization.”
“I have a feeling this is already in the cards for improvement, though - performance as a general rule is a bit spotty in betas.”
“The performance is bad; whatever you change in the settings, your FPS drastically fluctuates, even when you set it to 60 FPS.”
“The game has become very ugly; the only thing that would improve optimization is that having a 1050 in the minimum system requirements is not a small resource.”
“Optimization is also poor, and the auto-battle mode is just annoying because it wastes all your MP.”
