The story is generally criticized for being simplistic and uninspired, with many reviewers noting that it serves primarily as a backdrop for adult content rather than a compelling narrative. While some appreciate the lewd scenes and character corruption themes, others find the plot forced and the combat missions tacked on, detracting from the overall experience. Overall, the game appeals mainly to those interested in its adult themes rather than a strong storyline.

“Over all came for the plot, enjoyed it as a typical h-RPG.”

“The story is too simple, but I love the scenes.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing the turn-based mechanics as dull and lacking depth, particularly noting the minimal engagement during combat and the absence of meaningful gameplay elements. While some appreciate the unique corruption mechanics and art style, others feel that the lack of grinding leads to a boring experience, suggesting that the game may not hold up against other titles in the genre. Overall, the gameplay is seen as basic and easy to follow, but ultimately not the main draw of the game.
“It doesn't waste your time with pointless grinding because only the bosses are worth fighting, but even then the minions serve a gameplay 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 throw-away 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 some praising the art style, character design, and sci-fi interface as standout features. However, others criticize the overall quality as amateurish, feeling that the visuals lack depth and polish, particularly in the combat animations and mission presentation. While the artwork is appreciated by some, it ultimately leaves others feeling disappointed.
“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 in the game to be a mixed experience. While some appreciate the reduced emphasis on pointless grinding and the focus on strategic resource management, others still encounter late-game grinding that can feel tedious. The game encourages players to prioritize boss fights and upgrades over farming levels, which some reviewers see as a refreshing change from traditional RPG mechanics.
“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.”
“We are all sick of unending grinding, but like leveling and upgrading.”
