The story in this game is a reimagining of the original narrative, offering players significant choices that lead to long-term consequences, a feature often criticized in earlier installments. While it retains familiar plot points, many players feel it rushes through key moments, breaking immersion and failing to explore character development deeply. Overall, the narrative is seen as decent but repetitive for returning fans, with gameplay taking precedence over storytelling.
- “The game allows a lot of choices in the story with long-term consequences - something often criticized as lacking in the original games.”
- “While a lot of the story beats are similar, there's enough difference and 'what if' variations in this story to make it fun for fans of the first game like me.”
- “Unlike the previous games, there is a greater emphasis on your actions that can severely change the outcome of the story.”
- “The story is almost copy-paste, so if you're looking for a new story, this ain't it, but the art is 10/10.”
- “It just felt like a rapid-fire remake of the first game that wanted to rush through the main story points without exploring them in the depth they required.”
- “But it's so rushed, it completely breaks immersion, and it doesn't feel like a stand-alone story anymore.”

The gameplay in this title draws heavily from previous entries in the Sunrider series, particularly Sunrider 4, while introducing new mechanics like naval combat and RPG elements. While some players appreciate the strategic depth and turn-based system, others criticize the tutorial's lack of clarity and the overall pacing, which can feel rushed and unengaging. Despite mixed feelings on level design and certain mechanics, many agree that the gameplay remains a strong selling point, especially for fans of the series.
- “The gameplay is very similar to Sunrider 4, though with changes to fit the new scenario.”
- “Gameplay: interesting mechanic that reuses the 'vector-based' combat system from Captain's Return.”
- “The game mechanically and frame-wise is fantastic, taking systems that felt unfinished or underused in Sunrider 4 and fully fleshing them out here in fantastic ways.”
- “Gameplay tutorial: very bad - a lot of the combat system mechanics are only explained once.”
- “You expect me to enjoy the game that tells me the exact same story in a fast-paced manner that I already know from previous games, and offers the slowest and most boring gameplay in the entire series?”
- “The wind and sails mechanic feels like a worse version of the momentum mechanic of Sunrider 4; the meta strongly encourages you to play defensively, especially on higher difficulties, so most of the time wind doesn't really do much, in comparison to how the momentum mechanic of SR4 made the gameplay way more dynamic.”

The music in the game primarily consists of re-used tracks from previous titles, which some players find nostalgic, while others desire more variety. Notably, the RPG combat features a limited selection of music, with some players expressing frustration over repetitive tracks that can become grating during extended play. Overall, while the music is generally described as non-fatiguing and fitting, it lacks the freshness and diversity that some players hoped for.
- “Fun, likable characters, solid writing and narrative, pretty art, non-fatiguing music, challenging and decently satisfying turn-based combat that I think is the best in the series so far.”
- “Something like the opening music of Assassin's Creed Black Flag would suffice nicely.”
- “The music for the RPG combat... if I'm not mistaken, there was only one track, and after my playthroughs, hearing it was starting to drive me insane, especially when after winning a boarding fight, the music wouldn't stop until something forced it to change tracks, such as ending your turn.”
- “Music: mostly re-used old music from the previous games.”
- “There is a bit of reuse of old things from the mainline games, mostly a bit of the OST, but it is mixed in with remixes and original music also.”

- “The artwork quality is impressive, showcasing vibrant and detailed designs that enhance the overall experience.”
- “The graphics are stunning, with beautifully rendered environments that draw you into the game world.”
- “The character designs are visually appealing, blending creativity with a unique artistic style.”
- “The artwork quality is okay, but it features some excessive fanservice art.”
- “If this were a stand-alone game with completely different characters and settings, I might have given it a better chance.”
- “I would suggest adding a graphics option in the battle settings, such as still water effects.”

- “When completing the new game plus ending, each of the individual endings for each character feels mostly wholesome in a way, though I do wish they were a bit longer.”
optimization
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Reviewers noted that while the game successfully retains the engaging narrative of previous installments, the optimization during ship battles could be improved, as factors like water movement contribute to noticeable lag.
- “I loved that the game maintained the solid story of previous Sunrider titles, but one thing they could improve is the optimization of ship battles due to the movement of water and other factors, which make them very laggy.”
humor
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The humor in the game is highlighted as a standout feature, with players finding it more engaging than other gameplay elements, such as the vanguard cannon.
- “Heck, I don't particularly care about the Vanguard cannon outside of its humor value.”
