The game's story is notably short and linear, revolving around a traveler tasked with defeating two witches terrorizing a city, which many reviewers found to be rushed and lacking depth. While the narrative varies slightly across different character classes, the overall focus is more on combat and gameplay mechanics than on storytelling, making it feel somewhat trivial. Players seeking a rich narrative experience may find the story disappointing, as it serves primarily as a backdrop for casual RPG gameplay.
- “The story is short, but the game is long (training character, farming items, etc).”
- “- Story: In short, a pair of witches are terrorizing a city with their magic, then you, a traveler, are here by chance and can't leave the city (city locked by witches' magic) will go to the dungeon and kill the witches.”
- “Each storyline is relatively short and doesn't require a whole lot of grinding, thus beating all 4 might take say 8 hours total?”
- “The incredibly short story comes off as rushed rather than compact.”
- “It's not terrible, but the entire game here would just be a single quest in most full-length games, leaving it rather pointless.”
- “The story is linear and does not offer much in the way of branching.”

The gameplay is generally considered mediocre, with repetitive mechanics across different difficulty modes and minimal variation in interactions. Players can expect a short experience, averaging 1-2 hours per run, with a total of about 6 hours if all routes are explored. While the game shows potential for improvement in future installments, it lacks depth and engaging content, making it difficult to recommend.
- “It's a $2 game with 3 duos, giving you about 6 hours of gameplay in its base form if you play through all 3 routes.”
- “Each mode/class the main character will have a partner to help in battles; each mode/class has a different story, however, the gameplay and how the NPCs will react is the same.”
- “Conclusion: this is a JRPG with a short story and modest gameplay.”
- “All in all, it's not really worse than mediocre as gameplay-oriented RPG Maker games go, but it's way too short and pointless to be something I'd recommend.”
- “Gameplay is too 'ok', so it's hard to recommend it.”
- “- Gameplay: bad, same mechanics for all difficulty modes (same ambush points, same enemy).”

The graphics feature charming artwork and custom character models, enhancing the RPG experience with a cute aesthetic. However, players note that the lack of a gallery and limited CGs detract from the overall presentation, and some transitions can be choppy.
- “The graphics are nice, featuring a lot of custom artwork for character models.”
- “This is actually a neat idea for an RPG; they use a lot of custom artwork for character models.”
- “The graphics are visually appealing, showcasing cute artwork and a charming female protagonist.”
- “The artwork is cute, but there is no gallery available and only a few CGs in the game.”
- “While the idea for an RPG is neat, the graphics rely heavily on custom artwork for character models, which may not appeal to everyone.”
- “The graphics feature cute artwork, but the lack of a gallery and limited CGs detracts from the overall experience.”
grinding

Players note that while the game's storylines are brief, the overall experience can feel lengthy due to character training and item farming. Grinding is minimal, with some players completing the game in as little as 2 hours, suggesting that the focus is more on efficient progression rather than extensive grinding.
- “The story is short, but the game is long (training character, farming items, etc).”
- “Each storyline is relatively short and doesn't require a whole lot of grinding, thus beating all 4 might take say 8 hours total.”
- “This game is short, like only 2 hours including grinding, for the warrior (blonde hair girl).”

Character development in the game is generally well-received, with solid design; however, a specific scene involving a kiss has been criticized for making the characters appear flat and lacking depth.
- “The character design is fine, except during the one kiss in this game where the characters look flat as a sidewalk.”
humor
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find humor in the game's ironic difficulty ratings, particularly how the "beginner" character, Seraphine, struggles significantly despite her classification, while the "advanced" character, Maiya, breezes through the game effortlessly. This contrast adds a comedic layer to the gameplay experience.
- “A notable funny point is the 'difficulty ratings' the dev gives - Seraphine, the 'beginner' character, probably has the most trouble later on due to being incapable of doing damage effectively, while the 'advanced' Maiya is easily the most powerful character and has no problems blowing through the game.”
music
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

- “The soundtrack is pleasant and enjoyable.”
- “The music adds a nice touch to the overall experience.”
- “The soundtrack is quite good and enhances the gameplay.”
