The gameplay is criticized for its low-quality, repetitive design typical of RPG Maker titles, resulting in an unappealing experience. Additionally, players report significant optimization issues, leading to lag and choppy performance even on capable hardware.

The graphics in this RPG Maker game are criticized for their low quality, particularly in fullscreen mode, and the lack of full HD support or graphics customization options makes it unsuitable for modern PC gamers.
“As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”

Character development in RPGs is crucial, as it drives the story and engages players much like a compelling book. If the narrative fails to capture attention, players may lose interest in the characters and the overall experience.
“I have to come back to the compelling story... an RPG is all about story and character development, but like a book, you need to grab the attention of the reader or prepare to lose them.”
“The character development feels shallow and uninspired, making it hard to connect with anyone in the game.”
“I expected more depth in the characters, but they all seem one-dimensional and forgettable.”
