The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that it primarily revolves around a memory game format, which can feel repetitive and luck-based. While the art style and character mechanics are praised for their creativity, some users find the core gameplay underwhelming and lacking depth, leading to concerns about long-term engagement. Overall, the game offers a casual and visually appealing experience, but its reliance on memory and guessing may not appeal to everyone.
- “I like that the other characters don't take months of gameplay to save up and buy; needs more characters. They are kind of the only motivation for me to play the game other than the nice art style. The idea of trying new strategies and gameplay styles with new characters is what makes me want to play more.”
- “Fun game, gameplay is versatile and fun.”
- “The gameplay is really nice and it's a great feeling when you make the right choices to win.”
- “Overall, I like it but it's underwhelming and will probably get repetitive unless there's some changes to the core gameplay itself.”
- “Gorgeous graphics, boring gameplay. Also, there isn't a way to sync progress between different platforms, which is a huge no for an online multiplayer game with meta-progression, unlockables, battle pass, etc.”
- “A very nice looking matching game that doesn't interest me beyond the art style; sadly, the gameplay just isn't something I would enjoy.”

The game's story is a beautifully crafted love letter to Aesop, featuring charming characters and a rich narrative that unfolds as players embark on a quest to connect with their soul mates. While the engaging plot encourages exploration and teamwork, some players note that improvements are needed in gameplay mechanics and clarity regarding quests and character abilities. Overall, the story offers depth and intrigue for those willing to delve into its challenges.
- “Though Spiritle first grips you with its interesting characters and homey art style, waiting within is a story-rich love note to the great philosopher Aesop.”
- “Hidden deep inside this world is a story waiting to be found for those willing to undergo the requisite challenges to uncover its brilliantly laid out narrative.”
- “Find a soul closely matching your own and attune your soul to theirs to discover an even deeper, enriching story hidden below.”
- “There are a number of things that need to be improved, such as eliminating AFK players after they tether out a number of times, making it clear that you don't have a quest when you don't have one, and the description of character abilities in the main menu references effects that there is no way to see without actually playing the character in a match.”

- “Nice music”
- “I am personally not a fan of the genre of music the game employs, but I won't mark that against it.”

While the game initially suggests high replayability through its diverse characters representing the four elements, players find that the characters feel similar and their abilities lack significant differentiation, leading to a disappointing overall experience in replay value.
- “There are also different characters to choose from, representing the four elements with different abilities, which implies strategy and replayability, but it's a deception... ultimately, all the characters feel the same and even their abilities offer no noticeable difference.”
- “Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to go back. The lack of meaningful choices and consequences makes replaying feel pointless.”
- “The game tries to offer different paths and outcomes, but they all lead to the same conclusion, making replayability feel like a chore rather than an adventure.”
