The story is light-hearted and humorous, centering around a young girl's quest for a temporary boyfriend, featuring a cast of quirky characters like Ivan from the Farseen tribe. While the narrative is simple and not particularly serious, it incorporates some lore and creative elements, making it an enjoyable, albeit brief, experience. The antagonist, Sedrick, lacks the depth of more serious villains, contributing to the overall playful tone of the story.
- “You also end up meeting a contender for a possible pretend boyfriend named Ivan, a spirited 17-year-old human from the Farseen tribe on a mission to prove himself and find his destiny.”
- “It is funny, cute, and has some story lore built into it.”
- “The quest to get a boyfriend for a day through dimensional travel is certainly creative.”
- “The story and the characters are not that serious.”
- “As for the antagonist, Sedrick, he's definitely not treated with the same gravitas as Vorakia, since he's the villain of a relatively more light-hearted story and he doesn't have the political manipulation skills that made Vorakia such an effective villain.”
- “Overall, it's a fairly simple story, but it works and Pokie is a well-written edgelord.”

The gameplay is praised for its balance and depth, allowing players to adopt strategic approaches, such as using a glass cannon strategy by designating different targets. This adds complexity compared to the original, which was criticized for being a mindless all-target spam race.

- “Personally, I'd say it adds more depth to the gameplay this time, as opposed to the original being a mindless all-target spam race.”
- “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks innovation, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “I found the controls to be unresponsive, which really detracted from the overall experience.”
