Reviews
- The game offers a fun classic JRPG experience with charming characters and a decent storyline.
- There is a lot of content to explore, including side quests and character customizability, providing a good 30-40 hour gameplay.
- The graphics are considered great for the genre, and the game includes enjoyable mechanics like auto battles.
- Many elements feel repetitive and lack depth, with some areas and features serving little purpose.
- The game includes pay-to-win DLC options, which detracts from the overall experience and raises concerns about quality over quantity.
- Boss battles can be excessively difficult compared to regular encounters, leading to a frustrating grind for players.

The story is generally seen as straightforward and reminiscent of classic RPGs, featuring a typical "save the world" plot with a cast of likable characters and numerous side quests. While some reviewers express a desire for more originality and depth, others appreciate the charm and humor of the characters, as well as the engaging plot twists and multiple endings. Overall, the narrative is considered decent, with a mix of lightheartedness and epic battles, appealing to fans of traditional RPG storytelling.
“Story isn't overly complex but the characters give it a lot of charm.”
“Great game, fantastic story.”
“Lots of plot twists, with multiple endings.”
“Kinda wish EXE could make a game that didn't have the same story with a different coat of paint though.”
“Not that their usual plot is anything special.”
“So, you get your (mostly) teen party; doing silly things (if you like jokes that are ridden to death); save the world plot; travel around (but you can't explore the world), imprisonment, side quests (kill x monster, fetch item).”

The graphics are generally praised for their quality, offering a visually appealing experience reminiscent of previous exe games, albeit with slight variations. Players appreciate the integration of engaging gameplay concepts alongside the strong visual presentation.
“Great graphics considering the wonderful gameplay concepts like auto battles, planting bushes, etc.”
“In a nutshell: if you ever played one of those exe games, you get the same game only with a little difference in graphics again.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it allows for easier level progression through automatic fights after some effort, the difficulty spike in boss battles can be frustrating. Additionally, the presence of pay-to-win DLC raises concerns about the game's balance and fairness.
“Cons - easy battles which is nice for level grinding considering the boss fights are nearly impossible.”
“I started playing with hard setting...and after a little grinding I could switch to automatic fights...why do they still sell those pay-to-win DLC?”

The game offers a solid experience, but it lacks significant replay value, meaning players may not find much incentive to revisit it after completing it.

The humor in the game is largely driven by its quirky characters, which consistently elicit laughter throughout the adventure.
“Quirky characters had me laughing all through the adventure.”
