The loading screen has sound and whenever I walk I hear the steps, but aside from that and some animated cutscenes, the game has no sound at all, no voice, no music, no sound effects, nothing... and it's quite a drawback considering how heavily it depends on sound.”
- “I really thought this would be some kind of RPG rhythm thing, but it turns out it's just turn-based gacha like others. They just added some music stuff to the character backstory, no rhythm at all.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent freezes, crashes, and lag reported during gameplay, particularly when transitioning between screens or during updates.

While the game has potential, its current state is marred by these technical issues, making it frustrating to play.
- “Just downloaded this game and it first asked me for 7 GB for the update, which is enormous and took up my space. The thing is, each time I try to update, it updates to about 277 MB, then suddenly freezes. I have to leave the game and rejoin to download it. I hate this and don't recommend it.”
- “I keep having this bug that not only completely freezes the game but also my entire phone (no response on screen, buttons don't work).”
- “The game is good when it works, but every so often, going from the field to the battle screen or when a cutscene tries to play, the game freezes to the point I have to hard restart my phone.”

- “I am subject to change my review, but my first impression is that the game is nice to look at and play at first, but will probably get tedious later on.”

Reviewers express dissatisfaction with the monetization strategy, highlighting the need for a clearer separation between in-game purchases and currency stores.
