    The gameplay of this title is largely characterized as simplistic and repetitive, primarily revolving around clicking mechanics reminiscent of early idle and clicker games. While some players appreciate the aesthetic appeal and find the mechanics engaging initially, many criticize the lack of depth, variety, and meaningful progression, leading to a quickly stale experience.

    • “This game has taken me by storm with its astonishing graphics and phenomenal gameplay.”
    • “Sure, the art style is polished, but the gameplay is as shallow as it gets.”

  • story293 mentions

    • “The plot and storyline are clearly the pinnacle feature of this game.”
    • “There is no, none, zero, zip, nowt, nothing of a story here, it is all 'gameplay'.”

    • “There's absolutely no reason to ever play this other than idle curiosity because the only thing it has going for it is the visuals, and you can get better elsewhere.”
  • music94 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its quality and calming nature, while others criticize it for being overly repetitive and annoying after a short period. Some users highlight the soundtrack's ability to enhance the gaming experience, but suggest that a greater variety of tracks would improve it significantly.

  • monetization43 mentions

    The monetization in this game is heavily reliant on cosmetic microtransactions, which many players find intrusive and reminiscent of a cash grab. While some reviews appreciate that these purchases do not affect gameplay and are relatively inexpensive, others criticize the game for lacking depth and feeling overly commercialized, with essential customization options locked behind paywalls. Overall, the monetization model is seen as a mixed bag, with a focus on vanity items that may deter some players.

    • “As far as monetization goes, this one is fine.”
    • “Not bad for free, microtransactions just for cosmetics, doesn't affect gameplay.”

    • “Doesn't seem to evolve much as you play and it's chock full of microtransactions.”
    • “The game plays much more like a half-hearted cash grab, which is ironic because the only microtransactions are for costumes for your 'player character' and a link to their Patreon.”
    • “There's no story or flavor text, and the most interesting feature, being able to dress up your character, is largely locked by microtransactions.”
  • grinding35 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being tedious and unrewarding, with many players finding the experience repetitive and slow. While some enjoy the idle mechanics and the ability to let the game grind for them, the overall sentiment leans towards frustration due to the excessive time required to progress and the lack of engaging content. Players often describe the grinding as a monotonous chore rather than a fulfilling gameplay element.

    • “Progress is extremely slow compared to other clicker games, and you quickly reach boss levels that require some grinding before you can beat them.”

  • character development26 mentions

    Character development in this game has received mixed reviews, with many praising the depth and vibrancy of the character designs and personalities, highlighting the innovative work of the original mangaka.

    • “10/10 amazing character development and nice combat.”
    • “As far as I am aware, there is no story to date or lore, as well as no ending or character development. However, there is a girl by the side of the screen whom you can customize with a small variety of free hair, skin, eye, and clothing options, but beyond these are microtransactions for weapon, clothes, and hair DLC, which I'm personally not a fan of, but does not harm the core gameplay.”
    • “Far too repetitive with almost no content other than character design.”
    • “It's a next-gen game featuring extraordinary graphics, but the only issue is my arm starts to get tired after a while (and not the one holding the mouse).”
  • replayability17 mentions

    The reviews on replayability are mixed, with some players praising the game for its high replay value due to mechanics like resets and global upgrades, while others find it lacking in long-term engagement after experiencing the main content. Several users noted that the introduction of new DLC can enhance replayability, but many agree that once the initial excitement fades, the game may not hold their interest for extended play. Overall, the consensus suggests that while there are elements that encourage replay, the experience can become repetitive over time.

    • “God tier story line, amazing voice acting, graphics are on another level, and incredibly replayable.”
    • “Honestly, the replayability makes this game extra special.”
    • “The constant release of new DLC keeps your character 'fresh' and makes the replayability of the game that much higher.”
    • “Can't say there's much replay value but definitely worth the first few floors.”
    • “Has replay value in the sense that there's a reset mechanic that gives you global upgrades, but once you've seen most of the zones the game gets dull.”
    • “Very little replay value, as a game.”
  • stability7 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous users reporting glitches, crashes, and issues that disrupt gameplay, particularly in the mobile version. While some players note that it doesn't crash frequently, many others experience severe bugs that hinder progress and require reinstallation. Overall, the game is perceived as unstable and frustrating, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “This also goes for the mobile version, which is also unstable and breaks after several launches, causing glitches in your progress after you have to reinstall the game.”
    • “I hate to be the bad guy here, but any time I load this, I get music and no picture. I click, and it acts like it's loaded. I can't recommend it as buggy as it is.”
    • “So to update the review, I can say they have made the game even more buggy. Now you can't get past 49-5, but when you do with time skips, the game breaks. Your max damage is 1, and you kill everything in one hit. If you keep upgrading your units, your damage goes to zero, and you can't progress anymore, forcing you to restart.”
  • optimization5 mentions

    The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the one-handed gameplay design and engaging voice acting, others criticize it for being unoptimized with slow progression and a lack of an exit option, leading to frustration.
