The story of "Sakura Cupid" is described as lighthearted and charming, featuring a unique cupid theme that sets it apart from typical visual novels. While some players found the narrative to be cliché or lacking depth, others appreciated the humor and the multiple endings that stem from player choices. Overall, it offers a fun, albeit simplistic, romantic experience with a mix of fanservice and comedic elements.
- “Sakura Cupid is a very good visual novel game with a beautiful story.”
- “I really enjoyed the story because the entire cupid theme really isn't something you see too often, and it also has a certain charm to it.”
- “There is even a decision in the novel that can completely drive a section of the story in a different direction, and helps the game to make the player feel like the choices matter somewhat.”
- “Took me forever to complete because I put it off due to the story being kind of boring.”
- “There were some truly funny moments, but the story itself was poorly executed and uninteresting despite the potential of the concept.”
- “I'll never grow tired of how cliché these visual novels are, but I can see why some fellow Sakura fans have grown tired of their services because a lot of their content is the same kind of story, just set in a different scene.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality, with many reviewers highlighting the vibrant and appealing character artwork, particularly from the artist Wanaca. While some found the overall artwork to be inconsistent, with a lack of content in the early game, the later visuals and backgrounds were still appreciated for their charm and effectiveness. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's atmosphere, complemented by a relaxing soundtrack.
- “However, the R17 CG and artwork here are good, and I bought the game because of it.”
- “They go all out on the story, give you options to navigate through, and have some amazing artwork (if only I could draw that well).”
- “Let's start with the artwork - I am so biased here because I love Wanaca's art style - but it's all very pleasant, colorful, and sexy. I'd give Wanaca 10/10 for the character artwork (my bias is showing here). The backgrounds, well, they do the job they are meant to.”
- “Very short, with only so-so artwork.”
- “Most of them occur after about the first 1/3 of the game, which is a little disappointing, but the quality does not disappoint, as the artist behind this one (as you may guess from the art style) is the one who did titles that look similar in art style to Sakura Swim Club.”
- “However, let me be honest here, I saw it coming when I realized the similar names and art styles.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the chill and relaxing soundtrack, while others find it dull and lacking in quality. Although there are improvements over previous titles in the genre, such as better composition, the overall consensus is that the music is not a standout feature and may have technical issues like clicking or popping sounds. Overall, it serves its purpose but is not a primary draw for players.
- “The graphics are nice and the soundtrack is chill and relaxing... I recommend it.”
- “Although not the main focus of visual novels, the music in this took a step in the right direction away from the usual sound of the other sakura games and included some better composed pieces instead of the usual electric piano/synth that you usually hear looping (although those weren't bad, just not as good as they could be).”
- “The story and plot is written as a romance visual novel with plenty of humor, fan service, and has 5 endings with nice background music by Zack Parrish and great artwork by Wanaca in the game cover, soundtrack album cover, CGs, Steam profile backgrounds, badges, emoticons, and achievement icons.”
- “The music is also dull.”
- “-but hey, we don't play Sakura games for the music *cough*.”
- “[*] The music clicks/pops sometimes on highs, probably an issue with compression.”

The gameplay is primarily focused on visual novel elements, with limited interactivity and choices, leading to a relatively short playtime of 4-5 hours. Many users feel that the price of €10 is too high given the minimal gameplay experience, with only one title, Sakura Dungeon, offering more substantial gameplay.
- “But (as we are used to by winged cloud VNs) 10€ is a too high price, considering the 4-5 hours of gameplay (including the existing R18 patch).”
- “They can vary in length and quality, etc., and only Sakura Dungeon has actual gameplay; the rest are all visual novels with usually only a few choices.”
- “It's just gameplay.”
