Overall, grinding is seen as a double-edged sword, appealing to completionists but potentially off-putting for those seeking a more narrative-driven experience.

The gameplay has been criticized for being boring and repetitive, with unbalanced combat and lengthy dungeon completion times, even on easy difficulty. Many reviewers noted the low-quality graphics and lack of engaging story elements, leading to an overall negative perception of the gameplay experience. However, some aspects, such as menu navigation and combat mechanics explanations, received a more positive mention.
- “These do a really good job on explaining basic things such as navigating the menus and explaining the combat mechanics.”
- “The gameplay is too boring due to its numerous enemies, and it takes time to finish dungeons even on the easiest difficulty.”
- “Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
- “Was not going to leave a review as the gameplay was just 'ok', until I realized if you make the party leader a girl, it turns the 'oh my love' with the princess into 'oh my dear best friend in the world'. Nah, go the full mile, don't chicken out for half the cast.”

The game's graphics feature a nostalgic SNES-like aesthetic, allowing players to view building interiors without entering them.

While character artwork is praised for its stunning quality, some designs, particularly exaggerated proportions, have drawn criticism.
- “The artwork of characters is stunning.”
- “They have an SNES-like aesthetic where you can see a building's interior without going inside it.”
- “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.”
