The story is generally criticized for being simplistic and uninspired, with many reviewers noting that it primarily serves as a backdrop for lewd scenes rather than a compelling narrative. While some appreciate the adult themes and character development, particularly regarding the female protagonist's corruption, others find the plot to be poorly executed and lacking depth. Overall, the game seems to cater more to fans of adult content than those seeking a rich storytelling experience.
“The story is a bit dark for most people.”
“Raiohgar: Asuka and the King of Steel is an RPG that follows the story of two heroes in their new mission, with several interesting moments and also several other 'pure' ones showing the changes of the protagonists Kouta and mainly Asuka, in what should be only one more mission but it ends up becoming something much bigger.”
“A story that will end with the regular ending of a hero story or a complete 'pure and innocent' doom for young Asuka, everything will be decided based on the choices over the 10 days of the mission, apparently normal for the pilot, but with a lot more special and 'innocent' events for the lady.”
“The story is too simple, but I love the scenes.”
“The story of the NTR is boring.”
“The story is pretty much nothing except for fighting some robots.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing the turn-based mechanics as dull and lacking depth, particularly in combat. While some appreciate the unique elements and art style, others feel that the absence of traditional grinding leads to a lack of engagement, making the overall experience feel shallow. Overall, the gameplay is seen as basic and not particularly enjoyable, especially compared to other titles in the genre.
“It doesn't waste your time with pointless grinding because only the bosses are worth fighting, but even then the minions serve a purpose since you don't want to wear yourself out before the boss; it's best to avoid them.”
“A good HRPG will manage to have both gameplay and adult content be very enjoyable.”
“Great game for its genre and brings some mechanics I haven't seen in other RPG Maker games.”
“The turn-based mecha gameplay sucks.”
“Under three hours of gameplay, although the boring and unnecessary combat sequences pad that out somewhat.”
“There's not really any gameplay to speak of, and the gimmick of switching between Asuka and her partner isn't used in a particularly interesting way: it's pretty much just a few throwaway lines of dialogue referencing the h-scenes going on behind his back that he's oblivious to.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the art style, character design, and sci-fi interface as standout features. However, some users criticize the overall quality as amateurish, feeling that the visuals lack depth and polish, particularly in the combat animations and presentation. While the artwork is appreciated, it seems to fall short of expectations for a more polished experience.
“I mostly bought it because I liked the art style and had played it a long time ago and enjoyed it.”
“As mentioned, I really liked the art style, especially the menu and character design.”
“The artwork is spot-on, and the interface stylistically feels sci-fi.”
“The whole product feels very amateurish: the lowest bar of the Kagura games churn, with only the bare minimum of quality to the artwork, translation, and presentation elevating it beyond shovelware.”
“But overall, I was profoundly let down by the artwork.”

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience. While some appreciate the reduced emphasis on grinding, focusing instead on strategic resource management and boss fights, others still encounter late-game grinding that can feel tedious. The game is designed to minimize pointless grinding, encouraging players to prioritize upgrades and efficient gameplay over excessive farming.
“It's pretty easy to get enough money for upgrades, but that said, I still had to do some late-game grinding, which was annoying.”
“The game design is just tedious where you're supposed to farm levels.”
“Grinding will actually be a deficit, as you need to manage your resources in order to succeed at the missions.”
