The world-building is engaging and expands on the previous game, Aselia the Eternal, providing a rich setting and character development.
The gameplay has improved mechanics compared to the first game, offering a more tactical experience that requires planning and strategy.
The story, while somewhat formulaic, has moments of emotional depth and humor that can be enjoyable for players who appreciate character-driven narratives.

The combat system is poorly balanced, with boss fights requiring specific skill setups that can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences.
The plot can feel convoluted and lacks the depth and charm of its predecessor, often rushing through character development and world-building.
There are technical issues, such as bugs that can hinder progress, and the interface for managing skills and battles is unpolished and cumbersome.

The story is engaging with solid world-building, though it is often described as formulaic and cliche, lacking the depth of its predecessor, Aselia. While the narrative expands in scale and perspective throughout the chapters, it suffers from an overwhelming number of characters, leading to thinly spread dialogue and events. Overall, the story is enjoyable but may require patience due to its length and occasional shallowness.
- “The world-building itself is pretty engaging as it expands on what Aselia the Eternal introduced. Although the plot is less original and heavy in comparison, it's still good enough.”
- “Other fun part is how the scale of the plot and perspective on things significantly grows with each chapter in a more or less surprising way.”
- “Took a while to get through all 12 chapters, but I enjoyed the story after it got going (the first chapter took a bit to get going).”
- “One of the biggest flaws of the plot is that there's just too many characters, and that causes dialogue and events to be spread pretty thin among the cast.”
- “The story is long, but at the same time shallow.”
- “The story in this game feels… formulaic.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its tactical depth and improvements over the previous installment, while others criticize its balance and reliance on guides for success. Players appreciate the absence of heavy grinding, favoring strategic gameplay instead, but note that scripted battles and limited choices may detract from the overall experience. Overall, it appeals to those who value tactical mechanics and world-building, despite some concerns about charm and balance.
- “Some problems are well pointed out in other reviews, but I'd still recommend the game if you care about the tactical gameplay aspect or want more world-building after the first game (or both!).”
- “Your choices and gameplay matter for which route you get.”
- “In addition, if you are put off by typical JRPG games due to grinding, this game does not require heavy grinding but rather smart gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is sadly a minus, so if you wish to not cheat, read the manual, as otherwise, you are doomed. Bosses are a joke if you have the correct setup (like using % type against bosses is way better; the more HP, the more damage you will deal). Even on the hardest level, you can almost 1-hit KO bosses, but not normal enemies. The gameplay is unbalanced and not worth it, with no option to skip battles either.”
- “Make sure you read a game guide prior to playing this or be prepared to load back several hours of wasted gameplay so that you can get those skills.”
- “In my opinion, the game is an improvement in gameplay, but it lost a lot of the charm that the first game had.”
