- “Good gameplay with a few bugs - a rogue-like dungeon crawler with a variety of weapons that you can use and upgrade at will to fit the situation.”

Reviews indicate that grinding in the game can be both tedious and enjoyable, with some players finding it necessary for progression while others feel it detracts from the experience.

- “It was fun at times but definitely more tedious after a couple of hours as the creativity is pretty much all set from the get-go.”
- “This game is okay enough for someone who doesn't really enjoy a game where you need to grind to get stronger; after all, I've finished this game in about 2 and a half hours without farming anything and only doing the main quest, but you can spend around 4-5 hours in this game if you decide to do side quests and other things.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent stutters, frame drops, and freezes that disrupt gameplay and affect hit detection.

- “Yes, it is buggy--it slows down and becomes less responsive to input as you play during a single session.”

The music in the game is highly praised for enhancing the emotional experience during cut scenes and providing an engaging atmosphere during exploration and combat. While some sounds may feel like stock audio, the overall composition effectively complements the narrative and art, creating a memorable auditory experience.
- “It's a cool world with pretty great music to listen to while you explore it.”
- “The sound is nice and the music hits the right tones, making you feel emotions in cut scenes, giving you the right vibe for the romps, but also able to let you zone out in combat into a rhythm for hours, just hitting things with your favorite pointy object. The music is an OST, and while the sounds seem like stock sounds, the ones they chose make me smile when I hit something and wince when the main girl catches a well-placed slap.”
- “Compositionally, the narrative themes, art, and music are fantastic.”
- “Too much music.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for significant performance issues, with players noting that toggling the frame limit did not resolve stuttering problems. While the story and overall design are commendable, the combat and controls feel stiff, further highlighting the game's poor optimization.
- “Toggling the frame limit to 'on' did not fix the issue - and I couldn't be bothered to turn on a framerate monitor and wander around an area that wasn't stuttering to confirm whether or not it was actually working.”
- “Sure, the combat and controls are a bit stiff, and the game itself is optimized quite poorly at times, but the quality of the story writing and the game, which was made by an RPG Maker, is somewhat impressive.”
- “But the biggest flaw in my opinion between the patched and unpatched version of the game would be the performance issues.”
