The gameplay is heavily inspired by classic Mega Man titles, featuring a variety of movement options like dashes and double jumps, alongside strong level design and engaging boss battles that reward players with new weapons. While many players appreciate the smooth controls and satisfying mechanics, some find certain enemies tedious and the localization lacking. Overall, the game is seen as a well-executed action platformer with a nostalgic vibe, though it doesn't break new ground in the genre.
- “This game's music, overall level design, and fun gameplay pulled me in straight away.”
- “This game has strong level design, and I particularly like the melee character's gameplay – she has a lengthy dash, multiple weapons with different qualities, and the small upward boost and momentum negation that happens when you attack an enemy while falling adds an interesting nuance in how you approach things.”
- “Now the game is obviously inspired by Mega Man, but I will say it does not feel like another tribute; it feels like a more advanced version of Mega Man, with more tools to play with.”
- “The art is the best aspect, the gameplay is okay but oftentimes very tedious because of certain enemies, and the translation is just awful.”
- “The music and visuals are nice, but the story's like white noise and the gameplay can be kinda meh sometimes.”
- “Never been a fan of Mega Man type games due to being really bad at them (last game that I played that followed the same gameplay was Mighty No. 9 about 5 years back).”

The story has received mixed reviews, with many players struggling to follow it due to poor machine translation that renders some plot points nonsensical. While the narrative is described as basic and lacking depth, players appreciate the character backgrounds and details found in NPC dialogues, suggesting that exploration enhances understanding. Overall, the story is seen as a weak point, but it does not detract significantly from the enjoyment of the game.
- “Only criticism would be I'd like there to be more story moments, because the characters are lovable.”
- “Story is simple, but works well enough for what it is.”
- “The story is basic and it feels like you're missing information if you just watch the story scenes, but there are a lot of details that are alluded to in the many NPC dialogues.”
- “The one genuine fault is that the text is clearly a machine translation, and there are definitely plot beats that are simply nonsense as a result.”
- “Also, this may be because of the below average English translation, but the story doesn't really make sense.”
- “- Google Translate-tier English text made the dialogue incomprehensible and turned me off from the story.”
