The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its graphics, mechanics, and nostalgic elements, offering a mix of fun and strategic turn-based combat. However, many players express frustration with the increasing pay-to-win mechanics, low summon rates, and frequent bugs that disrupt the experience. While some enjoy the depth and variety of gameplay, others find it repetitive and overly complicated, particularly for free-to-play users.
- “The gameplay is amazing, the graphics are outstanding and the story modes are very nostalgic and loyal to the manga's original story.”
- “Amazing graphics, amazing gameplay, actually free-to-play friendly (for now), tons of events, big character roster, rune system, and you actually have to think and not just go full auto.”
- “Great gameplay, fantastic characters.”
- “The game keeps changing the mechanics and item stores to force you to buy items that were initially possible to obtain through quests or game money, and now you can basically obtain only by paying with real money, which is not cheap.”
- “Game full of bugs and awful net code; you literally need to do everything at least 10 times for it to actually work. A lot of times you lose your chances at something because the server can't process the info, and many times mechanics don't work as intended, probably due to bad server info traffic.”
- “Despite the game having a lot of potential, GT Arcade is ruining the player experience by introducing excessive pay-to-win mechanics and reducing the rewards compared to other versions of the same game in China and SEA.”

- “Pretty decent game, but the monetization strategy is completely unbalanced.”

The reviews highlight a pervasive issue with grinding in the game, where players feel that extensive farming is necessary to progress and compete effectively, often leading to frustration and boredom. Many users express that while the game has enjoyable elements, the low drop rates for resources and characters, combined with a pay-to-win model, detract from the overall experience.

- “It's hard to have fun when not even grinding for stuff is enough.”
- “It's a good game but if you want to get the best things you'll have to spend money. A few dollars wouldn't be a problem, but to get a decent character you have to farm a huge amount of resources.

Every single thing to improve a character requires huge farming, and at the beginning, it's fun, but a couple of weeks later... you get bored and frustrated.”
