The gameplay has a mix of engaging elements and significant flaws; while players appreciate the addictive nature of experimenting with team compositions and the fast-paced auto-battle loop, many report issues with bugs, lack of clarity in mechanics, and unbalanced gameplay that detracts from the overall experience.

Overall, the grinding can detract from the enjoyment, especially for those not fond of the genre.

- “It’s like the developers designed the game with the assumption that you’ll have to spend more time endlessly grinding to even have a chance at progressing.”
