- “Getting money in this game is such a stressful event. I'm sure I was doing it wrong, but I'm used to grinding for money and XP to get better stuff and be stronger, but I couldn't for the life of me find a way to do that without it actually bringing negative results to my party.”
stability

The game suffers from notable stability issues, including bugs in the battle system and glitches in the final section. Additionally, the repetitive design of NPCs can detract from the experience, as players may struggle to engage with unique characters amidst a sea of similar-looking ones. Overall, the gameplay feels basic and slow, contributing to a less polished experience.
- “Kinda buggy, and most battle tracks are way too short so the loop is very obvious, especially the one for the final boss in the non-corrupt ending. Many overworld NPCs look exactly the same, which makes talking to every single one of them hard. Also, when they challenge you to a fight, it's like 'welp, time to fight nameless NPC #93724,' but then the battle starts and the NPC turns out to actually be this memorable, interesting character with lore, and it's like... man.”
- “Battle system is basic, slow, and a tad buggy.”
- “The battle system is a little rudimentary, a little slow, and also a little buggy.”
