The gameplay is praised for its diverse mechanics and strategic elements, such as monster fusion and squad optimization, offering multiple ways to engage with the game. However, some players note that the overall execution feels lacking, with mechanical issues detracting from the experience. The game combines elements of idle gameplay with a focus on gear and positioning, though it may not reach the polish of similar titles.
“I really enjoy this game and its mechanics. It has a lot of mechanics you wouldn't even think about when you're first playing, like equipping equipment to the souls themselves. It feels like the game has many ways to play.”
“The monster fusion mechanic is great, and so is the art and music.”
“Almost like a Disgaea vibe, though not that level of polish, and very different gameplay.”
“The game has aspects of idle-game style gameplay; however, the strategy comes from squad optimization, gear socketing, and order placement. There are 'row bonuses' available, but those are kind of beyond me at the current time of writing, lol.”

The story is described as interesting but somewhat weak, likened to a mix of Darksiders and Pokémon, though not living up to that potential. While the narrative has its goofy moments and supports the gameplay of fusing creatures, it ultimately falls short in depth and execution.
“From the story I have seen, it is interesting enough to play and fuse some cool creatures.”
“I love the variety of monsters and the way they can be strung together to form intricate strategies, and the story is pleasantly goofy at times.”
“The concept is solid, but the story is kind of weak. It's like Darksiders meets Pokémon, but not as cool as it sounds.”
“The art is awesome, but mechanically, this game barely functions.”
