Beautiful and charming art style with unique and well-designed characters full of personality.
Engaging and deep auto-battler roguelike gameplay with many systems such as unit synergies, gem skills, and meta-progression that keep runs varied and strategic.
Co-op multiplayer mode available, smooth gameplay, and a well-paced story that adds charm without overwhelming.

Confusing and sometimes poorly translated wording in skill descriptions and game tooltips, making understanding certain mechanics difficult.
The difficulty is sometimes uneven, with early fights being very easy and a steep spike in challenge in later dungeons and post-game content.
Limited player agency during combat because units act autonomously and targeting is uncontrollable, which some players find shallow or frustrating.

The gameplay offers deep strategic mechanics with a variety of unique units, synergies, and evolving systems like color/crest effects and dungeon exploration, providing a rich roguelite auto-battler experience. While its progression and team-building elements are praised for depth and addictiveness, some find later stages repetitive or overly reliant on RNG, and certain translations and UI aspects could be improved. Overall, the gameplay is engaging and refined from its predecessor, appealing especially to players who enjoy complex system-driven roguelites.
- “There are a variety of units, with a variety of synergies and hidden mechanics to discover and try.”
- “Every individual unit has a color/crest combination that provides specific gameplay effects - the red color will apply a might (physical damage is increased) to your entire party, and the bushido crest will apply stratagem (skills will activate twice) to some/all of your units.”
- “After completing each stage you get more mechanics, more heroes (4 new ones after every stage!), and even more ways to upgrade and fine tune how you want to play.”
- “Repeating the same boss just with different mechanics got a bit old by the end of the fifth dungeon in my personal opinion.”
- “The post game dungeons are pure stinky hot garbage, enemies get way too much stronger while you have no new mechanics to support you in building your team, you are thrown in an endless RNG boot lick fest, if your RNG sucks and you don't have more than 3 level 3 legendary gems in your party, good luck clearing those dungeons, the dev clearly didn't test their game.”
- “Combined with mechanics like certain characters that can make you extra money per fight, and a type of item called cornucopia you get every run that gives you +20% of your currently held money twice (meaning you're encouraged to spend as little as you can and win by a bare minimum margin until you hit the cap of how much money you can get out of the cornucopia, at which point you go to a shop and suddenly go from like 2 unupgraded units to 5 upgraded ones and breeze through the rest)... it's a big issue.”

- “Story: almost non-existent, there are just enough plot devices to serve the gameplay.”
- “I can't say much for the story as I'm not really giving it the light of day (didn't really hook me so I just started skipping it) but the gameplay itself is super fun.”
