The gameplay is noted for its depth and addictiveness, offering unique mechanics for each character that prevent traditional team optimization, resulting in a distinct experience. However, some players have pointed out issues with poor English translation that detracts from the overall enjoyment.
“Shockingly deep and addictive gameplay combined with a few bits of really terrible English translation leads to an extraordinary experience.”
“Each character operates on such different mechanics; there is no overlap where you go 'oh, this character gives a bonus to x, and this other character gets stronger with x, so I'll add them together!' It's like you end up with four characters, but you never optimize a 'team.'”
“Each character operates on such different mechanics that there is no overlap. You never feel like you can optimize a team because one character doesn't enhance another's abilities.”
“The gameplay feels disjointed, as the characters don't synergize at all. It makes team composition feel pointless.”
“There's a lack of cohesion in the gameplay mechanics, which prevents any meaningful strategy when selecting characters.”

Players express concerns about the grinding aspect of the game, suggesting that if extensive farming for upgrades is necessary, it indicates a potential balance issue that could detract from the overall experience.
“I haven't spent a ton of time farming upgrades, and if that's the requirement, then there is a balancing issue here.”
“The grinding feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
“I find myself repeating the same tasks over and over just to progress, which is incredibly frustrating.”
