    • “Beautiful looking game, with awesome graphics settings, nice sound effects and animations; unfortunately, the gameplay is very repetitive.

    • “There's little to no actual gameplay here since most of the content can be completed on auto mode; however, the rest of it (e.g., 1st clear of dungeons) that requires manual control tries to make you gamble your money on gacha to get decent 5-star units just to have a chance at beating the level.”
  • optimization112 mentions

    The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, particularly for mobile devices, with many players experiencing severe lag, crashes, and performance issues even on high-end phones.

Overall, there is a strong consensus that significant optimization efforts are needed to improve gameplay performance and accessibility for a broader range of devices.

    • “What made this worse is that it's poorly optimized, no improvements.”

Overall, the monetization strategy detracts significantly from the gameplay experience, leaving players frustrated and disillusioned.

The graphics also add to the humor, enhancing the game's entertaining experience.

    • “You can literally buy everything; it's hilarious.”
    • “The voice acting for the bad and good guys is drastically different to the point where it's funny, and the selective summoning system allows for easy rerolls without resetting the game, which is awesome.”
    • “It's funny that this is like Genshin but better; it feels like Com2us dusted Genshin by making the same thing but better.”
