The gameplay is a mixed bag, combining gacha and roguelite elements with turn-based RPG mechanics, which some players find fun and challenging, particularly in deck building and combat. However, issues such as unbalanced mechanics, clunky AI, and a reliance on RNG detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration for some. While the art style and character designs are praised, many feel that the gameplay lacks refinement and depth, making it less engaging over time.
“A fun blend between gacha and roguelite gameplay.”
“The artwork is beautiful and the gameplay is very fun.”
“The overall gameplay is smooth and I like the ideas they've implemented into their combat system.”
“While it may appear to be properly translated, a lot of the mechanics don't exactly match up to the descriptions.”
“Feels like there wasn't a lot of thought put into the gameplay and the art feels very inconsistent with personalities and voice acting.”
“You are paying for the art, not the gameplay... basically the more you fail, the easier the game becomes; every time you fail, you just get higher scaling borders making things easier, and by the time you get past the second or third world, everything becomes a first run clear.”

Overall, the story is serviceable, providing enough content to satisfy casual players without deep investment.
“The story characters are actually kind of fleshed out and likable.”
“The animations and style of the game are great and the story is fun.”
“Maybe the plot is a bit simple, but the adorable characters (and their stickers!) more than make up for it.”
“The story is the most cookie-cutter hero's journey I've read in a while, and really didn't inspire me to keep playing, because the ending can be seen from a mile away.”
“The story presentation is almost non-existent.”
“This game instead force funnels you into the deck based on which story you are playing.”

“Its art and music are okay and complement this lighthearted feeling well.”
“Sorry, let's throw 'chess' type bullets into your drone deck, how about 'music' type into your drone deck.”

The game is praised for its lack of microtransactions, which is highlighted as a key selling point, particularly appealing to players tired of monetization issues in mobile games. This absence of microtransactions is seen as a significant improvement, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
“This game was aggressively marketed as a mobile game with all the fun and none of the microtransactions.”
“Admittedly, that interested me, as I've seen several otherwise good games that were held back by being mobile games riddled with transactions that flourished when they removed this monetization system, tweaked the gameplay, and just charged a flat rate for the game.”
“In fact, it's advertised as one of the game's selling points: 'gacha without microtransactions'.”
“It's also extremely commendable that the game doesn't feature any microtransactions, thank god.”

“Don't expect a well-balanced experience going in; have fun with the cute character designs and card gimmicks, and you can have a good time.”

Players are willing to engage in grinding to deepen their understanding of the game, but they express concerns about the steep difficulty curve and suggest that developers should reassess card stats and costs to make the experience more accessible for newcomers.
“I'll happily keep grinding at the game to learn it more deeply, but I do hope the devs take a look at the card stats, costs, etc.; the difficulty curve of the game is pretty rough and will turn away a lot of people that are on the fence about it pretty early on.”
“The grinding in this game feels excessive and tedious, making it hard to enjoy the core gameplay.”
“I find the grinding to be a major drawback; it feels like a chore rather than a rewarding experience.”
