The gameplay is characterized by a variety of mechanics that encourage experimentation, such as monster fusion and party positioning, which can enhance strategic depth. However, some players find the execution clunky, detracting from the overall enjoyment of these features. While it draws comparisons to classic RPGs and offers unique elements, the lack of polish in certain areas may hinder the experience for some.
- “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.”
- “For a game that has a major mechanic where positioning your units in your party changes the effectiveness of the party as a whole, it is too clunky to make experimenting and changing your party around as much fun as it should be.”
- “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 yet somewhat weak, with a solid concept that combines elements reminiscent of Darksiders and Pokémon, though it doesn't fully deliver on that promise. While the narrative has its entertaining and goofy moments, it is considered light and lacks depth, with a grindy gameplay experience that can detract from overall enjoyment. Additionally, the absence of meaningful side quests limits the storytelling potential.
- “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.”
- “Light on story, but what there is is entertaining.”
- “The concept is solid, but the story is kind of weak (Darksiders meets Pokémon, but not as cool as it sounds). The art is awesome, but mechanically, this game barely functions.”
- “While enjoyable for the most part, its grindy nature can render it tiresome, and the current lack of proper side quests beyond feats leaves something to be desired.”
